made this just because I could.

This took way longer than I expected to make.

T-shirt material is not as friendly to work with.

The handle is another shirt I reversed tie dyed a year ago. Inside is tie dyed material I did last summer.  Im excited to use it. 

The patch i bought on ebay

Mom's won 2 ND place

Mrs. Billie Jean's won 3rd

Im so excited for them. 🥰

making my first purse.

This is technically my second purse made from this pattern.  I gave first one away and didn't get any pictures.  Im including a Pic of the quilting magazine that has the pattern. Im going to sew the ends of the zipper shut.

Coverall's made from a thrifted Blanket.

I made these bigger than my size to accommodate clothes underneath.  Also a few things I would change- i would decorate after I make them. Honestly it took so much time to do that and in the end I had to alter them. It was difficult with all the embroidery and applique. 2- I absolutely love the elastic and buttons on the sides and around the base on the legs. However I would make the elastic shorter ( if I wear it over bulky clothes this may not be necessary.)

Made a purse from stuff animal

I saw this on you tube. Yep I did 😆.  I met a young lady months ago that had a purse that was a stuff dog. I actually looked at it closely and thought I would have to do it from scratch. Nope get a stuff animal! Not hard my best advice do not try for perfection first-time. 

I

I used  a stuffy I found on market place. I changed the front and took out the tail and replaced it. I also took out the mane and left it out. I did mess up a little on inside but ehh ... it's a trial  run. I wanted the straps to match the belly and Fleece was 100% the way to go. 

Overall I love it.

latest quilts

Last two quilt tops, the Grinch quilt top went together so smooth but when I went to quilt it. It was all wrong. Normally I can tell when things go wrong but this time I did not notice. I'm not worried about it I made it for us. 😂 As they say these things happen.

Right now I'm playing around trying to make pin cushions I really want to use. I'm also trying to make fabric Christmas trees- like the ones from the eighties. ❤️ It's funny but I'm on attempt number 4. 

Still working on cowboy hats too that I'm on attempt number 5 but I think I may have figured it out. All about the right stabilizer.

Quilts I've made lately - gifts😁
