| "Nativity A
Child Is Born" "I saw this design in Quilter's Newsletter
Magazine Quilt It ForChristmas 2003 and wanted to try it. The biggest
challenge for thisproject is to find the background fabrics with all
the colors. I changeda couple of things about mine from the directions.
I squared the top andbottom so it would be easier to hang. I have
also made just the centersquare as a wall hanging and the center square
with the top. This wasdesigned by Dilys Fronks, she is well known
for her silhouetteappliques." |

| "This is what I did with the Geisha you sent me. There are beads in her hair at the headdress line and in the petals of the 3-d flowers. Also, the butterflies are 3-D. The background is a screenprint from Cindy Loosekamp from 2000. I used built in stitches that I tweaked for the flowers and leaves on the arbor. I also free motion stitched grass on top of the screenprint grass. The borders are dark grey and deep purple/magenta silk." | ||

| "At one time,
this geisha design was free on the Viking Emnet website but it is
no longer there. The design was split and stitched in two hoopings.
She hangs in my guest bathroom along with another framed and matted
geisha in the same size." |

The design came from Emblibrary and stitches out beautifully. I stitched it on a piece of Rayon moire with a couple of non tear away pieces of stabilizer as it is a dense design. I cut it out around the design leaving just enough not to cut the stitches. Left all the stabilizer on the back. Put it on another piece of rayon moire and framed it. |

"I am sending a picture of a quilt I made as a graduation
present. I embroidered each lighthouse on white with silver flecks.
Then I attached a colored piece to the top with an oval cut out.
Next, I sewed quick bias around the oval to "frame" each
lighthouse. All the lighthouses are from Cactus Punch except the
Hilton Head. I digitized it because it was a favorite of the recipient.
It is my one and only digitizing experience." |

"I am attaching a picture of a Wall Hanging I have made.
I call it Sayonara Okinawa. The woman was on a Japanese hand towel
. I drew her face and appliquéd by hand the Kimono using
a Kimono that was made for our daughter when we lived on Okinawa
in the 1950's. The red was the lining of the Kimono." |

"I have attached the scan of a cotton throw which I just
completed with a free design from Carolinadesigns (If I remember
correctly). You can't see it in the scan, but in the water I used
an irridescent thread in a blue tone to give a realistic effect
to the brook. I don't have a digital camera at this time, so a scan
is the only way I can enter. |

It was a fun project to do and I hung it in my entrance hall to greet my guests when they visited over the holiday season. " | ||

The other picture is of a baby crib quilt that I made I embroidered teddy bears in each block. This is the first quilt that I have ever made. I'm sure it will not be my last. I enjoyed making it so much!!! " | ||

| "Here's my
Acadia Barn. I got the barn from a web site that sells house plans.
The woodie is from George' web site. I made the scene look 3d by embroidering
over the trees in the downloaded picture. The trees are from Amazing
Designs. I added buttons for "cuteness". It is called Acadia
Barn because the barn reminded me of Acadia National Park in Maine
where we go every summer to camp. Sorry for the grainy shots. I am using my web cam while my digital camera is in for repair. " |

| I got the patterns several years ago, which were free at that time, from sherio.com. they are all machine cross-stitched. I started stitching them and they were so cute I decided to put them together and make a patchwork quilt. | ||

| I took some Precious Moments hand cross stitch designs and did them up in my Pattern Maker Pro and then stitched them out on Kona snow material. I made these two baby quilts and matching diaper bag for my son-in-laws sister, she is having fraternal twins, as a gift. The quilt blocks surrounding the cross stitch designs were from a quilt block swap I was in, using 1930's fabric and our choice of six inch block patterns. The pattern for the diaper bag is a McCall's pattern #P253, I did have to make some alterations to the pattern so I could work in the "There was an old lady" on the front...........On the inside of the diaper bag I added a quilted pouch for everyday items and on each end inside I made a pouch for each of the baby's bottles. Between layers I used the iron on vinyl to protect the material if a baby bottle decides to leak.. | ||

| When my father died
a few years ago, we had a room at a funeral parlor. Most places like this have a cold type black board they put the family name on an easel. My friend and I used a place mat and put some words on it. For a short time it sat outside the room on the easel. Then he was cremated and so we put it next to the urn and flag later. The owners of the mortuary said they had never seen anything so nice as that in their entire business life, also many others commented on how nice it was. We had a very large family with 9 children so we could not begin to fit all the names, so we kept it simple. A person can put any words they want on one. Then I made the same type thing when my niece got married on a boat. It had the names, date, and place, along with an embroidered picture of the old style paddle boat. In both occasions there was a picture to immortalize the event forever. The wedding announcement had that same boat on it as was on the picture. For embroiders it is a nice gift to make for what ever the occasion may be. If you can copy the information on the invitations that is nice, if you cant then it is nice to fill it with a lace type scroll of some kind. For most occasions I would keep small so it can be hung on a wall by the wedding pictures or other events like a graduation diploma etc. I would not get any bigger than a 10'' x 13'' frame. Matting also makes it look very nice and professional too it also helps to save a lot of work on the edges. I would advise in most occasions to keep the colors and matting neutral, so it wont clash with anything, unless in a school color event I would use the school colors for the sewing part. |

| I did this wall
hanigng for a color theory class I am taking. The task this time was to use only neutrals. I loved this picture I found on-line so I translated it to fabric. The moose and his shadow are done out of ultra suede. |
