Stitchin' Fabric & Paper





I have been working on combining a current obsession with piecing together small scraps into interesting  designs with the desire to stitch on paper.  So, I came up with the idea of making note cards.  It works surprisingly well to sew fabric onto paper on the sewing machine!

Round Robin Quilting at FGC






I recently went to a quilting workshop where we did round robin quilting.  We each brought a square or starter piece and put it in a bag.  Then we each randomly chose another bag and added to that piece.  We switched things up this way four times and ended up with some interesting pieces when it was all done!

Graduation Gifts


Two sweet girls that I love graduated from Scattergood this past May and I made each of them a present to help decorate their dorm room.  Check out the Chinese character applique of her name -that was fun!

Quilted Table Runner


A geometric quilted table runner I made for my sister-in-law, to go on their lovely dark wood dining room table.

Lake and Leah make a quilt!





My son was never very interested in sewing, but he and his girlfriend decided to make a quilt together one weekend.  So, now I have some wonderful photos of my teenage son sewing that I just have to share.

Cute and comfy slippers


I made these this winter out of leftover yarn.  They are warm and snuggly.

Workin' on a super cute sweater for baby, Maeve.  The weather is warming up, but it will probably fit her in the fall anyway.  Will post a picture soon.

Baby things for Maeve

Made a cute pink earflap hat for the new Scattergood baby. Just started on some pink floral burp cloths -cute but mostly practical. Making good progress on the blue cardigan sweater too. It is looking big, so will probably be a fall sweater anyway.
