New Designs in magazines and newsletters
Hi Everyone!
I thought I would share with you some of my designs that have been in the latest magazines and newsletters:
1. Create & Decorate, “Garden Applique” in their April 2010 issue! This wallhanging is made from a repurposed linen shirt and some of my stash! The buttons are some of my antique collectables! Just love the quote, too!
2. Crafts’n Things Newsletter, “Patchwork Frame” March Newsletter. This is a FREE online pattern! This design was made for a Michaels’ demonstration, so all of the supplies can be found at your local Michaels stores! Fun and Easy!!!
3. Crafts’n Things Newsletter, “Victorian Boot Pin Cushion” March Newsletter, This is another FREE pattern! I wanted to let you know that the turquoise pin cushion was one of my grandmothers, who passed away at age 93, just last year. I loved it so much that I wanted to remake it into more current prints. You will love this fun and easy pattern. It is approximately 13″ tall and makes a great gift! It lies down or can be hung up for use!
4. Creative Home Arts Magazine, “Quilted Wall Pocket” FREE Online Pattern, This is one of my most favorite patterns/designs! I bought the tin and had it in my closet waiting to be used. It was originally pink! I painted it and destressed it for a softer yellow look to go with the prints I used. The green check is a repurposed shirt as well as the buttons! Please enjoy!
Please enjoy! They are all fun projects to make, great for home of gifts!

A Homemade Christmas–What did you make?
I made aprons for our son and son-in-law.
Matt and his apron, he picked the fabric! It's fun to have him home, because he wants to cook things he has learned at school. Time time we had his omelets!
Our SIL loves to sail, as well as cook, so this apron was perfect. Each colorful square is a flag, which depicts a certain message while sailing!
Make-up bags for our daughter and her sisters-in-law (her husband had 3 siblings visit this year and it was fun to have more children/adults around).
- My daughter’s make-up bag from Brenda Pinnick’s fabric.
Chicken Pin Cushion (doreen speckman’s pattern) for our daughter. I wrapped it up sitting on a nest…only appropriate…don’t you think? haha
Erin's Chicken Pin Cushion
I also made a large baby quilt for our grandson! I also made this quilt earlier in the year…just had to tie it. (I’m not wonder woman!!! I have to spread things out or I’d never get them done. haha)
Ryan's Quilt, our grandson
As well as a twin sized quilt for our college son!
Matt's Log-Cabin Quilt, Luckily, I had already made the top a couple of months before December, so I just had to "tie" it.
I made a few little beaded key chains, too. We had a fun year…and come to think of it…I had all of the supplies at home already!!! I only had to purchase the yarn for the turquoise and brown quilt! The quilts were a little more fluffy from tieing them, than if I were to machine quilt them. So, they are really cushy and cozy! (as my daughter says!)
I would love to hear your comments on what you made for Christmas! Have a happy NEW year!
