Big Boys & Their Toys

This is my baby son the youngest of my three boys. He loves toys as you can see. Now he is a great family man and a dedicated Coast Guardsman and he just love those helicopters (big and small) !! He spends his time repairing and hoisting in the Coast Guard and in his spare time, which isn't much, he flies the little helicopters. He just can't get enough of them. I took this picture of him with his latest one in front of my house. This one was a bargain from a friend in Alaska. Of course he couln't pass up a bargain. LOL Cute!

Gorgeous Dahlia Quilt Top

Well this is such a lovely quilt top and it is begging to be quilted on your long arm machine. I made this top in 2003 for my husband. Well he went on to be with God before I could get someone to quilt it. I am letting it go now as I don't need it for my bed anymore. The workmanship is excellent if I say so myself. It is listed in my Etsy shop and you can see it there. Let me know if you want this and make me an offer so it won't suffer anymore with being wrapped up in my closet.

Wonderful T-Shirt Quilt

I just finished this wonderful T-shirt quilt for one of my customers. The blocks include him and his children. His wife had this made for his birthday which is this next week so I will be shipping it today. The little dress is from his daughter along with a Yankee baseball shirt and some really nice other shirts. I actually had a hard time cutting these up as they were so nice and the little dress was so sweet. I tried to keep as much of it intact as possible. I am sure he will like it and his wife is very excited.

Great Gift For A Friend

I wished I had such a devoted friend that would give me such a beautiful gift as this T-shirt quilt. She wanted me to use tie dye fabric and I found some from fabricsandtrimmings shop on Etsy. I just think this turned out so pretty. I hope she likes it as well as I do. I sure had fun making it.

Trey's Quilt

I had made a really pretty quilt for this guy's wife a couple of years ago and when they got married he liked it so well that he wanted one. His t-shirts were very nice to work with and I used the colors he asked me to use, black, white, orange-rust. Heh Trey do you like it?

Music To My Ears

I just created this instrument case for this customer last week. I had never made anything like this nor had I ever seen an instrument like this before either. I used prequilted paisley fabric in a rich maroon to match the history of the instrument. I believe he told me this one was made in Austria. This man plays at dances, concerts and anywhere he is able to. I also believe he flies out to visit his daughter and they both play and have a lot of fun. He calls it a "hurdy gurdy". It sounds very pretty and I can tell you he knows his music. Thanks, Theo for letting me make this case for you!!

When my sisters and I were very young all three of us loved to make things. I think that was the way kids entertained themselves in those days. Our mother sat us down with old clothes and needles and thread and we made our dolls clothes.
My creativity grew from there and I found myself in high school making all of my own clothes. I did get a lot of attention with my matching outfits including hats. Since I was shy maybe that was my way of creating my own world and at the same time getting attention.
I finally did get tired of making clothes and went into quilting. The first year I quilted I made every family member quilts, quilts and more quilts.
You can only make so many quilts and so many bags before you have no space left. What is a very nutty creative person going to do about this?? Well you are going to open an ETSY shop and sell some of this stuff, right?? http://fabricartist21.etsy.com/
My neighbor asked me to make her a T-Shirt Quilt and I have been doing that for over a year now. I take special orders through my Etsy shop. I have become very busy with this business and will continue to create t-shirt quilts as long as their are customers that want them.
