Alice is spoiled plus others!

I was in a very productive mood and decided to get some small projects done. So here is what I have been working on. I recently got a puppy almost 2 months ago and I thought she needed something warm for her kennel.

This is Alice. She is now 12 weeks old. Alice is a German Sheppard, Blue Healer mix. She is very playful and LOVES people!

So for his project I found some cute pink fleece fabric that was a tie blanket. And I turned it into a dog bed for Alice's kennel. I stuffed it with strips of t-shirts. So hopefully it will keep her warm. I believe she like it, because Alice walked into her kennel and laid down. 

This was a Halloween decoration I made. I used it first for Marcus 3month photos in his Halloween costume. When those were done I sewed them together for my holiday front door decoration. I received a lot of compliments on it. Everyone wanted to know where I got it from. They were baffled when they learned I had made it.

This project took me only and hour and its a padded seat for Trevors deer stand. So he  not cold on his rear and if he end up sitting there a long time we will be comfy. I used a water resistant fabric and 4 layers of padding. 

These kept me pretty busy for awhile I have a few more projects that will be coming soon. 

Marvel Comic Baby Quilt

So I have been very busy lately and have  finally finished up on a recent project for a very special little boy. A friend from grade school that I have kept in touch with over the years, her an  her husband recently welcomed a little bundle of joy. Asher has two great parents who used a comic theme for his room. So with that in mind I set out to create a special gift for baby Asher.

                       So each grey block has a logo on it of Marvel comic characters.
                                      
                                          Captain America logo free sewn into grey block.

Thor & Spiderman logos free sewn into grey blocks. 

                                                          Batman logo in grey block.

Iron Man logo in grey block.

This project didn't take very long but it was something new to me with the free sewing . And I was so excited to be making a special gift for such a wonderful couple to be able to wrap around their little boy!

My First Blog

So I have never really understood the point of a blog but I'm going to try it anyway. I've decided this way the people who enjoy seeing my sewing projects can see the process I go through for each quilt or project. I really don't think some people understand how much time and concentration and precision goes into every quilt.

 So I am a self taught sewer, and I learn as I go. My goals for sewing & quilting are to start taking a few classes at the start of the 2014 yea. I also would like to buy a server and learn dress making. I think it would be fun to make Glitz patent dresses for little girls. So here starts my adventures in sewing for me!

These are a couple of quilts I recently made for donation to raise money for local volunteer fire department in my hometown. KU & K-State lap quilts.
