Something New

I got together with a bunch of friends for a play day. One gal is learning how to dye and felt scarves so she showed us how to make a felted scarf. It’s an interesting process. We all worked on it so it didn’t take nearly as long as when making one alone. I was the lucky one and got to keep it. Here’s a really crappy picture of it. I couldn’t get a better picture of the way the fibers are now felted together.

It’s really a lot more light and airy than it looks in the picture. I love the colors!!

Early Christmas

My mom made these yo-yo Christmas trees. They are different sized yo-yos threaded onto a steel mandrel that I made a glass star on the top.

I think they turned out pretty cute considering I don’t usually like stuff made out of fabric yo-yos.

More Fabric Origami Boxes

My mom made four more boxes.

I think she got a little lazy on the embellishment part. Sewing a button on was the easiest thing.

Buttons, Pins Cushions and Beads….

I’ve been bouncing around finishing up a lot of things this weekend. I’m still working on more beads and buttons for my cousin’s quilt show. Here are a few more.

Shank style buttons with a cherry design on them. They kind of look old-fashion to me.

Kitties!! That one on the end has a flat head. He kind of looks like Iggy with the fat cheeks.

My mom’s quilting teacher gave her a little pin cushion. It’s really cute. She got the pattern and is going to make me some to sell at the craft show. Here’s the first few.

Aren’t they cute? I’m going to make the buttons that go on them and try to match them to the fabric.

Mom’s Holiday Decorations

These are a few quilted wall hanging that my mom made.

I’m not a very good picture taker so you have to look really close at the Christmas tree to see the glass snowflakes and the little glass lights that I made for this wall hanging.

Kitty Quilt Wall Hanging

My mom made this kitty wall hanging. It’s simple but I love the kitties and the colors.

I didn’t do a very good job hanging it up, that’s why it looks crooked but it’s not. It’s perfectly even. My mom sews really well.

Glass Rod Holder Case

A gal on Lampwork Etc. posted instructions to make a glass rod holder case to use when traveling with glass rods. Thanks Sue!! I couldn’t pass up the chance to get my mom to make a few. Here’s the first one she made out of batik fabric.

Here’s the finished case all rolled up.

This is the inside. The bottom has little sections to stick the glass rods into and the top has a flap to pad the ends of the rods.

This is the outside. Isn’t is cool?

Necktie Purses

My mom made these purses out of neckties. They are lined and have a zippered pocket inside. They are a nice size too. Not tiny, like I thought they would be. Of course, I couldn’t resist making buttons for them. I think I should have make the buttons in opaque colors so they would show up more. Oh well….
