I purchased a few sets from A Country Church Mouse and also used a lot of freebies in my stash. I then worked all the layouts for each block in my software............... each block has a certain theme with bears at play or work the idea was you could make up your own story just by looking at the blocks. My youngest GD is 81/2 Mths old & is just starting to take notice of the embroidery on blocks she sits there and talks to the Teddy's on her Quilt her Mum says she's so cute when she dose it.

| "I made the purse from a pair of red jeans that was headed to the dump after a yard sale which they didn't sale. The lining is made with Red Chili Peppers print. The zipper was taken from a baby's PJs that also was headed to the dump. The handle was made by taking the parts cut off from the legs and covering a Karate belt and sewing it on to the Jeans. The turtle design of an "Artist Painting a Canvas" was a free design from Ann the Gran's, and the Initials are those built into the PE150, both are done in Sulky's 24 karate gold thread. All the pockets are open and usable and the pants' zipper opens where you have an extra hiding place in between the outside of the jeans and the lining. The tassel is out of the drapery department at Walmart. I use it everyday and it's not empty, I weigh it one day and it weighed 12 pounds with all the junk in it. " | ||

| "I just recently
made a purse (my first ever purse including the technique was a first).
My best friends DD was turning 30 and feeling a little frumpy since
she has been a sahm and doesn't get out much. So I wanted to make
her something to make her feel sassy. She absolutely adored it and
even more so since I made it especially for her. I saw this technique on simply quilts and just had to purchase the book. Although the only thing I used the book for was the dimensions of the purse. The rest I adlibbed and just went with the flow. This was so much fun since I could do what moved me and didn't have to follow strict guidelines. LOL I used so many different fabrics to create this purse including cottons, satin, silk, lame',velour, faux fur. The book that was my inspiration was "Crazy Quilting with Attitude" by Barbara Randles. I embroidered her name on the bag as well as her 3 kids names and her DH name scattered around the bag on different patches" |

on the top shelf, I used fabric autographed by Debbie Mumm at a book
signing, the ivy and hydrangea petals were done with steam a seam,
then individually attached. The photos in the bottom right are my
husband and me at our wedding, then again 35 years later. This is

It was quite a task for me as I haven't sewn anything like that before--challenging but interesting. It involved printing & resizing some of their wedding & reception photos and putting them on fabric prepared for the inkjet printer.

sister likes cats and my new brother in law likes eagles (he has a
motorbike; that seems to go "together"). I digitized (I'm NO good at that) both animals and used a downloaded applique heart. Afke (who has never used a needle and thread) sew the buttons on a piece of fabric, being rocks, which I appliqued on "my" fabric. From this I made a cover for a photo album in which they can glue their wedding pictures." |

blouse and jacket. Used mostly stash fabrics and had a great time
doing this. This was before my D-1 with embroidery capabilities, but
I did have a great Bernina with lots of embroidery stitches on it
so used that to outline each block. I pieced everything on muslin.
Did some paper pieced blocks on the bodice of the jumper. Also made
the bias binding and the chinese knot buttons. I loved making this
so much that I made another one in shades of purple. That has a bit
more embroidery on it but I don't have a picture right now - and have
to obey the rules of one entry per person:-))." |

| "This is just one of the crazy patchwork stockings that I have made for all 12 of my grandchildren. They are very time consuming and most of the fabrics are velvet, satin, rayon, and different colors of lame. I used 3 designs that were free on the web. Sorry I can't come up with where they came from. Maybe someone will recognize them. I used a paper the shape of the stocking only larger and sewed the fabrics together until it filled the paper. I embroidered the designs before sewing them. Sewed different charms, embroidered fancy stitches on the seams or used a braid or ribbon. Used red velvet for the back. Lined them with a white polyester lining after embroidering the name of the child, date and made by grandmother on the lining. After sewing it together and turning it I hand sewed a string of gold beads around the outside and put 4 different colors of ribbon streamers on to hang it up. These are really showy as the picture do not do it justice'" | ||
