I knew there were some photos that I'd been meaning to post and here they are- these were my Valentine's this year. The teen didn't think it was cool to make lip balm and pass it out to her friends so I made it for my friends and they ALL thought it was cool.
I saw a shirt with a racoon tail and thought I'd modify for my FOXY grandson.
Here is "Dixie Cups". Originally I was going to machine quilt it but last night I felt compelled to hand stitch it. I did question my sanity but still think it's a good idea. I love the soft drape of a hand quilting.
The best part of making "Dixie Cups" with all my favorite Denyse Schmidt fabrics is that there were scraps! So I made these...
It's a glorious "spring" day here in northern California. Our winter has been very slight on rain :( which we will desperately need. Since the sun shines, I won't waste it so I'm going to sit out back and stitch. I always envy Lily her back yard photos so I think I'll indulge.
that tshirt is wonderfully cute! It would make a cool bag too, don't you think? The dixie cups are lovely - I love simple quilts like this - I have one in a box, just the top, that I made years back in reproductions. You've inspired me to seek it out and get it pinned up. But not today - its 38 degrees celsius (100.5 F) so we're all inside, with the heavy curtains closed against the glare, sitting nice and still in front of fans :-) Hope you enjoy your back garden - the chickens are enjoying ours at the moment. And wishing for rain, we need some too.
