Flat dolls and things





Hi M,   Ramses helped with your cuddle blanket.  


Some inside out doll pieces.


Some half finished dolls.



A wine bottle tote.


I need to remake these mittens.  A special Christmas ornament to my mom from her aunt.  


And I added some embroidery floss hangers to these wooden snowflake ornaments my sister gave to my mom.

Not pictured are some linen napkins that I made for my sister and sisters in law (or sister in laws?).  I made sets of 6 and did a satin stitch along the edges.  One each in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. It was a little tricky because I had to get close to the edges but still stay on the fabric.  I ended up cutting off the little bit that was leftover and it made a huge mess.  It would have been easier if I had a serger to do the job.  Wondering if I should add one to my wish list? 

Edit-I forgot about the felt ornaments we made for different family members.  I used red and green felt and used rows of the fancy stitches on my machine to make designs.  Here's the link I used.

Shhhhh



My next project.  I won't be posting any more information until it's done.  

I was able to get most of it from my own stash (thanks to a grab bag from Fat Quarter Shop I bought a while ago) but needed some fabric for the backing and binding from the store.   I need to cut up these strips and then sew them back together again.  Monday night was spent recovering from a cold.  Last night was doing homework with three kids.  I really hope I can get to it tonight....

Yup

Still lacking in big girl camera photos of a finished quilt.  I made some stuff for Christmas gifts.  Some I have photos of and some I don't.  I also have some new things I'm working on.
A new baby quilt and bunch of dolls for all the nephews in my life.
