I created these designs specifically with a lap quilt in mind. But they can be used for so many things! Picture them on Pillows, clothing, a picture, a children’s apron…the list is endless. I divided them into two sets so you could get one and work on them, then get the other later on to finish the set. This is the second set. Or you can buy the Combo set for more savings.
The picture is of my quilt top. Batting and backing will be added and then it will be quilted.

Fairy gardening has become all the rage during the last few years. You can find all kinds of information and supplies to create your own Fairy Garden. But for those of us who don’t have the time, space or ambition to create one outside, you can create your own Fairy Garden for your wall or quilt! I put mine close together because I wanted the look of a garden nestled closely in a big garden. But for a quilt you could spread them out and use other flower and vegetation, fences, gates, etc. to make a large center panel.

So many of us love Dragonflies, so I thought I would dress them up a bit! You can use them as individual designs or make a picture or Art quilt. I didn’t have time, but I plan to put crystals, beads, gem stones and maybe some fibers on my picture. I will post a picture of it on the website when I get it done.
Full Instructions, Patterns and Templates are included.
I made mine as a picture without batting or quilting, but I include instructions if you want to make an Art Quilt.

I love to add beads to everything and it occurred to me a bowl is a perfect item for beads! This bowl does not need beads, but if you want to give it a try you will receive a Tutorial on how to Bead Free Standing Lace.

I love fancy pillows - both to display them and to make them. But if I keep making them, I then have to find a place to store the ones not on display. Pillow wraps solve this problem! You can make them any size to fit any pillow. They can be wide enough to almost cover the pillow as below, or make them narrower to show some of the underlying pillow. You receive full instructions with templates to make the two pillows below and three different ways to finish the back. As you can see, one of these is a continuous tube that slides over the pillow and the other closes with velcro.
These are also perfect for gifts! Make someone a basic pillow (you get instructions to make a very easy zippered pillow) and a pillow wrap. Then you always have something you can make them for other occasions.
Because all of these designs are individual, you can make any arrangement you want instead of using the templates and you can also use the designs on other fall projects. As shown below, the small designs would make a design 9.6 inches square, the medium 12 inches square and the large 14.4 inches square. If you need larger sizes, just add a few designs or spread these out a little. Please click on *Check sizes* below. A lot of the medium and large designs will fit a small hoop. I used all medium sizes for the samples.21 Designs each in 3 sizes SML Check Sizes

A customer asked if the Kokopelli Bag could be made into a wall hanging. I thought that was a great idea and this now hangs in Rick's office - a little bit of the Southwest here in New England. It is all done in the hoop and is super easy to assemble. I used ultra suede for the binding and braided hanger. You will get instructions for finishing the wall hanging as I did below.

You get lots of options with these large background designs created especially to go with our two large geishas: Masami - Graceful Geisha and Ohisa - Honorable Geisha (both sold separately). You get three large designs split for a 5x7 hoop and full instructions to easily line up the sections of the designs. Plus there are three designs that will fit a 5x7 hoop without splitting. Some of the sections of the large designs can also be used by themselves for more options. In addition you get instructions and patterns to create the fabric background below. This finished picture is 36" wide x 32" tall. It would make a dramatic wall hanging or centerpiece for a quilt. The large design will also make nice pictures as shown below!
In addition to the fabric patterns, you get full sized templates of each large design that you can use for placement.

Though based on real hummingbirds, these little guys have a touch of fantasy. You can do them in any colors you like. On the wall hanging below I changed a few of the colors to go better with the fabric background I made. The foliage too can be done in more realistic colors or get as wild as you like! After seeing them flying around the wall hanging I almost wish I had put them on the back of a vest and had a few flying around to the front. In addition to putting these designs together, they can be added with other designs for more possibilities. A Hummingbird tablecloth or quilt would be great, or use them to decorate any kind of linens, garments or totes. To make the fabric background below, I ironed Steam a Seam lite to several fabrics, cut out the shapes and ironed them to a muslin backing. Next I used a blanket stitch and a zig zag stitch to outline the shapes and then added the embroidery.

Primitive country art has a universal appeal in it's simplicity and views of all aspects of life. I think it also reminds us of a past we've had or wished we had - of a simpler time where family, friends and love were all important.
These designs can of course be stitched on all kinds of items, but you receive a split version of the barn so you can complete a large barnyard as shown below. It is easy to line up and can even be done as appliqued pieces to make it even easier! Other than the barn and flowers, which I stitched directly on the background, the other designs were stitched separately and made into applique pieces with Steam-a Seam. You will receive instructions on how I created the wall hanging. The large barn shown in medium size is 11.5x9.2 inches; the large size would be 13.8x11 inches. Please note: The large barn has changed slightly from the stitchouts shown. The cream colored bars are now a basic stitch instead of satin stitch to make it easier for all machines to sew.17 Designs each in 2 sizes ML Check Sizes

Japanese Panel - Summer is the first in a series of Japanese Panels. There are two versions - one with fully embroidered backgrounds that you stitch together similar to a Stained Glass set. The other version is individual designs you can stitch on one piece of fabric. I painted some white silk to make my sample below. You will receive an idea file that explains different methods for constructing the designs and specific instructions for creating the samples shown.
When I found the artwork for these designs I of course wanted to know what the characters mean. I asked for help on my group and a delightful lady, Deb, offered to help. Her Mother lives with her and is Japanese. Her Mother recognized *Summer* and *Persimmons* in the writing. Not being satisfied, they wrote to their family in Japan for help. Deb's cousin, his son and a young lady that teaches Japanese at a local university all replied. It seems the characters are very ancient and only a few have survived to current usage. The panel below is a combination of four calligraphy styles: Shousho, Kaisho, Gyousho and Kana. So though I still do not have a full translation, I know that it is a poem about summer and persimmons and that it is from a very ancient painting and of course we have the beauty the original artist portrayed.17 Designs each in 2 sizes ML Check Sizes

Sunsets can be magical and come in so many different colors and moods! These sunsets capture some of the different moods of the end of day - from tranquil to explosive. I can see them used as a pocket on a jacket, or small pictures grouped together.
They would also make some of the very interesting POSTCARDS that are becoming so popular! You could add some hand stitching in metallic thread or a few crystals as embellishments. Or use #3 or #5 as a background and add a silhouette either machine stitched or applied by hand.

I've always loved the Chinese embroidered pictures so I decided to create my own. You will receive an actual size template (you can see it if you scroll down this page) and instructions on how to put these designs together. They can also be used to create many other scenes, either alone or combined with other oriental designs. I plan on framing mine with a black matting and a gold frame. It would also make a great pillow or quilt center. The medium size is 17.5 inches across when finished and the large is 21 inches.

These garden designs are companion designs to the Lace Bowl & Doily - Garden Oasis. I'm going to use the two sample scenes I did below as the front and back of a big tote to carry a needle work project. They would make a great gift for the gardeners in your life. The three blocks could be used on the front of a gardening apron and the scene could be used as a pillow or picture with word's above like *Ellen's Garden*
In the samples below I used the 4x4 designs for the scene and the 5x7 blocks for the pieced picture. You could also tuck in other plant designs to create a large garden throw.
These designs are my own artwork.12 Designs each in 3 sizes SMLJ Check Sizes

You have three different scenes in this set - sky with birds and trees, a pond or lake with lots of vegetation and wildlife and an underwater scene. Or combine them all together as below to create the old fishing hole.
I have created the scene below from the fish's point of view - as you see the underwater designs are on a larger scale and they get smaller as you go up. If you get the complete set you can reverse this.
Be sure to check the sizes as many of the large designs will also fit a 5x7 hoop. You can make wall hangings, great shirt backs, a lap quilt or use these designs individually to accent any item. You could create a continuous border with the foliage designs to create great curtains for a den -adding a few flying ducks above and inserting the frog, duck and turtle in between. Experiment with colors on these designs as you can totally change the look. You could even use the grasses to adorn a seaside scene- just change the darker brown dirt with a pale sand color.
There is a matching bowl: LACE BOWL & DOILY - THE FISHIN' HOLE

Terry, one of my customers from Alaska, sent me great photos she took at the Albuquerque Balloon Festival. These designs can be used to make a scene as shown below, or they would make a great quilt for a favorite young person. I think they would make a fun denim shirt having the scene on the back and a balloon or two on the front or pockets. There is also a matching scenic bowl, Scenic Bowl & Doily - Balloon Festival.

I want to thank Judy Nixon for the artwork I used to create the bird bath and cats. I will do better justice to her work in a separate set in the future. Thanks Judy!
