THIS IS A COLLECTION OF THE THINGS I LOVE TO DO WHEN I HAVE TIME TO SIT DOWN AND RELAX. NEEDL ART HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY PASSION, I HAVE ONLY BEEN QUILTING FOR ABOUT 10 YRS BUT HAVE CROCHETED, SEWN AND DONE EMBROIDERY SINCE I WAS ABOUT 11, NEVER GROW TIRED OF IT. MY NEWEST PROJECT HAS A VERY INTERESTING STORY. WE WENT TO THE VA HOSPITAL LAST SPRING, HAD TO PARK AT CHILDRENS HOSPITAL GARAGE AND TOOK THE ELEVATOR TO THE STREET. WE SHARED IT WITH A YOUNG MOTHER AND A GIRL ABOUT 7 OR 8. SHE WAS VERY QUIET, TRIED TO NOT BE NOTICED, SHE WAS COMPLETELY BALD. THIS TOUCHED BOTH ME AND CHARLIE. IT WAS ON MY MIND ALL THE WAY HOME. THAT EVENING I RAIDED MY YARN STASH, ARMED WITH PATTERNS FROM THE WEB I PROCEEDED TO MAKE CHILDRENS CHEMO CAPS, FILLED A BAG FULL AND SENT THEM TO CHILDRENS. WHAT A GREAT FEELING!!! GETTING STARTED ON SOME FOR CHRISTMAS NOW. iF YOU NEED A LIFT, TRY THIS. PLENTY OF PATTERNS ON LINE. |

THE QUILT ON THE LEFT IS IN A FLOWER PRINT, LAP SIZE AND TUFTED. THE BABY QUILT ON THE RIGHT IS THE WINDOW PANE PATTERN. BOTH ARE COMPLETELY HAND MADE.
THE CROCHETED AFGHAN ON THE LEFT IS INSPIRED BY THE SUNBONNET SUE QUILTS. THE BLUE AND WHITE IS A SNOWFLAKE PATTERN. THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THOSE I HAVE MADE. OVER THE YEARS I HAVE LOST COUNT, I THINK MY KIDS HAVE RECEIVED SO MANY THEY ARE OUT OF ROOM FOR ANY MORE AS THEY SEEM TO LAST FOR YEARS. |
