This is a blog about quilting and my creative life. I am mostly a quilter but I do dabble in all things crafty from time to time which is probably why I have such a pile of UFOs

Planned layout for Spring Embroidered Hexies
So I got an idea to lay out the big hexies with 60degree triangles between...
I am not sure that is very clear but now that some of them are sewn together I can take another picture.

Pink Shoe Bag
We have been travelling, and my favourite slipper to take along is actually a bit between a slipper and a slipon shoe. They are getting a bit old and sometimes pick up some dirt while traveling as I wear them outside if my feet are tired of my runners. So I made this little fold over bag. I just cut a strip of fabric about 7 inches wide. Finished the short ends.
Then it was turned inside out for the two side seams... I found it to be the trickiest part but you just need to think it through...
Now I am set for the next trip.

New and Old Our Father Prayer Quilt
After nearly finishing the Our Father Quilt from the pattern by Elefantz. I thought of how beautiful it is...
Better pictures coming....
I was inspired to make my own original embroidered Our Father Prayer,
I am so excited with how the first block went that I had to show it off before I got around to pressing.... I did wash it quickly, tho to confirm the my DMC 939 is in fact colour fast. Small Yeah...
It is done in a mix of stem stitch, satin stitch, and back stitch, with either one or two threads.

More Plate Pockets
Carrying on, I made some more plate pockets, well actually some are for bowls but plate pockets sounds cuter...
And I tried them out with the dishes. They worked great. No more dusty dishes coming out of the shelves in the basement... Yeah!

Another Hat for my Darling Daughter
It turns out that the cute hat (you can see it on my ravelry notebook) I made for my daughter in the fall found a new home with a friend of hers, so what was I to do but knit a new one.
This one was quick and easy. It is on the cover of the fall 2011 Knit Simple magazine.

The Lord's Prayer is pieced together
I finally finished the Lord's Prayer Quilt to the binding. I felt I was quite inspired with my machine quilting and it went quickly.
This is just the beginning but I managed to take the quilted sandwich to my Mom's for a bit of a show and tell, as she is my guiding light and the one who started me down this quilting road. Anyways, I also managed to leave it at her house and then I visited again and still forgot to get it into my truck. So now it is a couple of provinces away from me and my sewing machine. It will make it's way home I am sure and then I will add the binding and have another photo op.
