Cross wallhanging. Made for a friend, the cross is sewn from a plum sequined material.

Sewing

I have caught up on some projects I wanted to make for our home.  A new coverlet for our bed in a taupe and covered some cushions in suede taupe. My husband says it's boring but I like the restful colours.

What's in a Name.........

I made these fabric and embroidered names for the grandchildren of a dear friend in Calgary. I love the children's names and doubt they would ever find pens or door signs etc. for their bedrooms.

Shower Gift

This embroidered wall piece is a shower gift for my nephew Ben and his wife Megan who are expecting a baby girl in August.

Hooked on Postcards

I really love making postcards, whether artistic or not I am having fun. Tried appliique on one and think I will do more, it was Sadie's favourite.  I prefer watercolours over oil paints but am still experimenting and hope to learn more.  Does anyone know of some good books or magazines on this craft?

Post Cards from Gramma

Sadie loves to teceive mail so I decided to make her some post cards. Once I started I can't seem to stop.  I'm using card stock I found at Winners and use oil paint sticks, thread and glue glitter.  The glitter stops any fraying of the muslin when I sew the edge. I really can't draw so I collect pictures I like from magazines and the internet. The first few are fancy dresses that I hope Sadie will like.
