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!!

Fourth of July weekend 2020

With the quarentine still somewhat on here we hung around the house :) . It was also my Birthday weekend I heard from quite a few people wishing me Happy Birthday even some I had not heard from in over ten years. That was the best gift this year. I felt so blessed that after all that time they still remembered me and my birthday.❤
Been working on a trial run jacket for my mom. Honestly I think it may be just to much for her. This was close to five yards of fabric. ( this fabric is my lets try a pattern fabric lol) im going to have to do sonething different for the closures. My machine did a horrible job on button holes fabric to thick - I think?

I have been busy making girl dresses

Here lately I have been super busy making girl dresses. I may have gone over the deep end. LOL  I have mailed them and they are scheduled to arrive today. I am super excited to hear what they think about these beauties. It seemed like I would finish one and more material would appear to go again. Even the husband was picking out fabric. Here is a fun fact. Middle son has placed a request for a set of dresses. FYI- its not over, ( seriously smiling over this) Now what I did was search the internet for A-dresses. I found several websites with free patterns and I do love a Freebie. I found a pattern on EBay for a super reasonable price and snagged it. It was from the 80's and at the top tabs had them rounded. I found I like the square look better so I adapted. Now here is the final total:
12 months- 7 dresses, 1 pair of shorts
2T - 8 dresses, 1 pair of shorts
3T - 7 dresses, 4 pairs of shorts, 1 top with three tops waiting to be sewn.
I am seriously not done. I have pants to make too. Fabric waiting to be cut and sewn.

I love the Frozen Dresses ( husband choice), Star Wars ( husband choice)  I really was impressed with the Wonder woman/ Batgirl fabric.

I had a blast. That is what all this is about. Dresses made with LOVE💘💗💖💖💖
