For our friend Judy

What I have been doing for a week!!

Okay, the fabric was getting a little messy on my shelves. Not a lot mind you. So I straightened one pile. Well of course the rest looked really bad now and I went on refolding and straightening all my fabric. I do get myself into these cleaning situations sometimes. At least it looks all neat now. Till I decide to use it and have to go thru it all and mess it up again! LOL

pindolls for this month

This is the pin I made for my partner on the Cloth Doll Artistry list on ning. She is about 4 1/2 inches tall. The swap was part of the pin doll studio which I help moderate for Connie who is the group owner. My partner is Shirley and she lives in Canada where this little gal will be mailed off to tomorrow.

Whimsical hats was this month's theme for pin doll alley group. I ended up making three hats. The yellow one has the pin back. Here are some close ups.


This is a beret to which I added trim and ribbons and beads. It is about 2 1/2 inches around
This is the yellow hat with trims and beads. It is about 1 1/2 inches high.

this one is also about 1 1/2 inches high. Lots of beads and a gold bow!

Button Fairies

I made some button fairies for a swap for Doll Street Dreamers. I had so much fun that I made three more. They are pretty easy. You can find out how to make them here.

These two are for the swap at Dollstreet

These are for the fun of it ones I made!

Fairy and Pixie

Well I finally finished my working fairy challenge. It can't be shown until after the challenge is over. I am glad I got it done. I do however have a pixie to show you. She Allison Morano's pattern called the bookshelf pixie. I have made it before but gave that doll away so wanted to make myself one.

Isn't she a saucy little thing! LOL used dyed silk for the dress and hat, batik for the legs and doe suede for the rest of body and head. She has mohair locks for hair.

I think her little hat is cute! It is embellished with beads and ribbon.

Turtle Quilt

Three turtles walking across the quilt!
Close up of turtle and quilting

This is the quilt I made for my son-in-law for his birthday. He loves turtles. I pieced the background from 2 1/2 inch strips and then machine appliqued the turtles and leaves. I added a couple of turtle beads and buttons.
