Bling Shoes

My whole family knows that I love Bling so it makes sense I would pass that trait onto my granddaughter right?

I just made these for my granddaughter and I thought I would share. They were very easy to make. I attached the rhinestones (sizes 5 and 3) with E-6000 glue and used double faced ribbon for the laces. I have shown two different colors of the laces and I also made her a red set. I can't wait to follow up with a photo of her wearing them!

Where Has Time Gone?

I can't believe it's been almost a year since I've posted anything. I've made several quilts plus other little projects but my newest project has been Blythe dolls and making clothes for them. Thanks to my machine quilter Krista who introduced me to these wonderful dolls. I am amazed at how many collectors there are out there and how many patterns there are for clothing! I have always collected dolls but not ones that I can make clothes for. These little girls have sparked a whole new interest in doll collecting. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or not! Anyway, here is one of the outfits I just made for Mazie. Doesn't she look cute? The pattern is from My Fair Dolly

The year of applique!

I've always wanted to learn how to applique. I tried it once but I didn't like the method and swore I would never do it again. Then I learned the needle turn method and now I'm hooked for life. I made three or four applique quilts last year and I now have several more in progress. The Hawaiian one I made on a single road trip from Seattle to Las Vegas. It holds many great memories of sights Larry and I saw and great conversations we had. The Bird on a Wire quilt was my first attempt at applique and it was the perfect quilt to start with. Because its a primitive style quilt, nothing has to be perfect! Then I got brave and made a Tisket a Tasket. It is a more detailed quilt but so much fun!

Stay tuned for more applique because I love it!!!!

I'm still creating!

I have made several projects since the last post, but haven't posted them. I'm thinking no one is even reading this so I've kind of quit posting. Anyway here is a couple more projects. One is a quilt I just finished that was a friendly competition between a friend and myself. It's called a Tisket A Tasket and is a BunnyHill Design. I loved working on this quilt! It is all hand applique and a small wall size. The other is a little hat I made for my pharmacist's new granddaughter. It is my Christmas version of Jill Eaton's Twizzle Topper.
