BAGLE the Beagle

This was my cherished Bagle.  He lived with me for 13 years.  He was the best natured dog I have ever known.

New Quilt

Hanging at the Senior  Center.  This quilt was made in 2005 and it was made from a photo that was taken in Italy.

Senior Citizens Center

The Senior Citizen Center in Lexington,

Ky will be holding their Holiday Open House and Craft Bazaar on Friday, December 15, 2017, from 9:00 to 3:00 pm.   I will be selling my Jewelry all made of Fabric. 

Necklace Sample

This is a sample of my fabric necklace.  I'm going to be selling them at the Senior Citizens Center in November.  Will keep you posted as to the day and time.

This quilt is on display at the new Senior Citizens Center, where I am teaching Quilting.
This quilt was made after a trip to Istanbul, Turkey.  It is called Turkist Delight.

This quilt is called Sisters.  It is made in honor my two sisters.   The pattern in the background is called Seven Sisters.  I'm going to be teaching a Log Cabin class next Monday at the new Senior Citizen Center here in Lexington, Ky.

This is a quilt I made sometime ago.  However, I am teaching a Landscaping class at the new Senior Citizens Center and I just thought I would share.

This is how it looked out my front window about noon today.  Grateful for a nice warm house!!!

I am BACK.    I started this quilt perhaps two years ago, but had so many problems because my vision was so bad that I decided to try it another way.  So, I turned all the pieces under and I was still not happy with it, so put it aside.  Then several months ago I had cataract surgery on both eyes, which was a miracle!!!!!  I guess I didn't realize how bad my vision really was.  I was very determined to finish this quilt, and started taking each piece off and put it on a new background.  By doing it this way, it created some technical problems that I was not able to correct---- but I really like it to view and it is finally finished.  I haven't even named it yet.  I'm open to suggestions.

It has been a while since I posted something, but I'm back!!!  Working on two larger quilts,  but took a class on Crafty, called Stupendous Stitching by Carol Ann Waugh.

What fun.  I started with a hand dyed fabric, then couched on it, then did machine embroidery, then hand embroidery.  I then stretched it over a canvas.

New Post card

Just playing with ideas for Post cards.

TEE SHIRT NECKLAS

 Here is another necklas made with a tee shirt.
I simply took the neck and cut it part way around, then left an amount in the front.  I then sliced the fabric from the bottom up to the neck  added pony beads and knots.  How simple is that?  I think I will make some more of these in different colors.  It just slides over your head.

Copper Pendant

 This was done by using a piece of cardboard and covering it with batik fabric.  Then stamping with paint and wrapping with copper wire and beads.

Kroger pendent

 Here is another pendent made from a Kroger bag and gold wire. 

Grocery Bag pendent

 I saw this technique on You Tube severak months ago and made several using colored plastic bags and wire.

New Project

 I've been playing with a new idea for bracelets.
This one is made from the seam of an old pair of jeans.  Strung with wire and beads added.  I've make quite a few and will share one at a time. 

Another new piece of jewelry

 Just finished this piece.  Again I used hand dyed strips of tee shirt fabric and then adorned it with some glittsy threads.

New Piece

 I'm still working on new ideas for jewelry.
This is made of strips of handdyed tee shirt fabric.
I felt it needed a little glitz to glued on some crystals.

NEW FABRIC JEWELRY PIECES

As some of you know, I have been playing with the possibilities of Fiber  Jewelry.
The first piece is made using a scrap of Batik fabric, backed with black felt and ribbon for a tie.

The second piece is made from strips of felt with rinestones attached.  Very fun to do, and will wear one to Quilting Guild meeting tonight and see what kind of a reaction I get.
