On YouTube this was called a car quilt

Its a really pretty pattern. Not quite as simple as it looks.

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.

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.

Quilts I've made lately - gifts😁

Second attempt at Cowboy hat

Interfacing is to heavy, I also made a mistake in the rim. "To big" I did line it and just did a run with it kind of thing. In the end it's to small to wear 😂 

Fabric Cowboy hats

I'm toying with making cowboy hats. You wouldn't think it's that involved but I'm drafting a pattern and running through test runs.

So far I've broken 3 needles and had to repair the sewing machine. 

I think some of that is my fault but... That is learning 

This run was with batting. I have some heavy stabilizer I think will be a lot better. 

i just safety pined the sides up to see what I thought.

Edmonson County Fair 2025

Here is how I did in the Edmonson county fair. I entered 5 quilts total and a Christmas stocking. 

2 third place, 1 second place, and 1 first!!

So excited!

In the first place quilt I incorporated scrap pieces given to me by a lovely lady outside of Litchfield. Her name is Lorraine. I've texted her all the pictures and we both are beyond happy. I'm thrilled to share this with her.

I feel like this Summer is really green.

Yet so pretty! & HOT!

Won 2nd place in Hart Co Fair Kentucky 2025

I'm so excited and proud of this!

Made some more Bible covers.

I never expected it to be so difficult to find Bibles at yard sales. However when I do I always try and snag them. I store them and make covers for people's ( usually customed to them personally) in hopes of aiding them on their journey.

These I did a little different I did a binding around the edges instead of flipping inside out. Also because they are soft covers no handles. I did not want the Bible to bow.

Next is just a star ears hardback book with a similar themed book cover 😁.

Mother's Day Bible cover

This is reverse engineering from a book cover I got in an auction. I've watched several tutorials online but you can not beat having an example right in front of you. 

My favorite part the applique of the state of Texas with Virgin Mary fabric.

With the exception of the Virgin Mary fabric the rest is Vintage fabric and I mean old! Late 70's early 80's. I love this fabric!

Godzilla Quilt

We are huge and I mean Huge Godzilla fans. I found a Paper piecing Godzilla fan pattern but I have not wrapped my head around how to do it yet. 

One day my husband said a co worker granddaughter was a Godzilla fan too. At the age of five. I was excited let's make her a throw!!!! 

I grabbed some roofing paper and freehanded a 36x36 silhouette of Godzilla. A lovely lady and dear friend and I spent some quality time discussing the colors for Godzilla And away I went. 

I really like it!!

a wall hanging

This is a wall hanging it is 24x31. The bldg is done in ribbon and I reversed tie dyed the shirt.

It's nice but my biggest draw back on it is it is not washable. Would have to spot clean. 

This was my fourth attempt, first was with yard and it was going great until the taco bell emblem. Than it fell apart . Next embroidery but it literally got lostin the print. Than I tried very thin cuts of fleece - nope on that too.

Ribbon worked and I had vintage ribbon at the house. I thought I had enough but nope again and the new ribbon's quality was less than desirable.

I'm going to make myself one but I believe I need to make some changes.

various pictures

Just for fun

Work coverall Farm work that is.

I purchased these used coveralls for Farm work. I had plans to machine embroidery Zombies all over but I was worried about the colors and I would have had to rip seams out. At this point I changed my mind and said... I just going to get JIGGY! with it. LOL some of the dedigns are on the machine. I even embroidered the Lord's Prayers on it. 

Quilt sew a long

I participated in my first ever quilt along. Complete with group zoom meetings and all. Had a huge blast! Very easy quilt
