Handmade Sale

Quilt

I made this quilt for our family room, the solid pink/taupe squares are the same shade as the walls. The print is very whimsical and had all the colours in it that I wanted. Now, back to some knitting and embroidery. I am also inspired by the bloggers to make a bag and have some wonderful fabrics in mind.

Sadie's Birthday Party

First Birthday

Happy Birthday to SADIE '1' year old today !!!!!!! Love from Grampa & Gramma L

Winter Hats

I've been having fun knitting some winter hats, and enjoy looking at all the beautiful wools and the colours. Sadie might have a hat to go with every outfit.....although I have done a couple in adult size. Isn't life grand when you love what you are doing and the day isn't long enough?

Treasures

These treasures were made by my daughter Samantha, when she was still in high school. First is 'Santa', his beautiful clothes are velvet and he is very special to me. Samantha's attention to detail is amazing and he is certainly 'one of a kind'.

Next, is a white velour cat.....he's wonderful with his long legs, fat belly and distinctive personality. One day I heard this loud thumping, our 'real' cat Ollie, was dragging velour cat down the basement stairs ....thump...thump....thump.......I can only guess that Ollie wasn't too impressed with 'velour cat'.

Last, but not least is "Rag Doll", with her striped legs, amazing face and wonderfull hair. I cannot think of anything better than having a special soft doll made just for you. I'm so lucky, these three treasures will remain very dear to me and one day they will belong to Sadie. Thankyou, Samantha.........your talent and creativity never ceases to amaze me.

Favourite things

Above is a wallhanging I finished a while ago, which looks nice on my kitchen table. It was hand appliqued, hand quilted and embroidered..... my favourite things to do besides making quilts.

First photo is another wallhanging I hand appliqued and hand quilted.

I finally finished two wallhangings, it's the beginning of clearing things up so I can start some new projects.

Update

Today I am finishing some projects, a couple of wall hangings, and a quilt. I'm so inspired by the talented bloggers and am going to try making some soft dolls and critters, although I think I lack the creativity of design, I'm excited to give it a try.
