Shopping


All the little goodies I got at Michaels on sale two week`s ago.I was shocked that it still came to $100 .I need it for Gerry`s block!

As the Blue Willow was the Inspiration, I printed it on fabric and used a butterfly fabric with it to make my mirror and use the same white fabric for the handle.To finish it I used 2 porcelain beads.This was another wonderful Block that got finished and is on it`s way home.

These blue and white fabrics just screamed for a Kimono and here it is.

Blue Willow


This is the finished Asian Block for Darlene. Her colors where blue and white with the blue willow as inspiration.My first addition was a blue cherry blossom with white velvet leafs from Japan.

Time fly`s


Time just seams to fly,I was finally able to finish Gerry`s Encrusted Block. Her theme was Queen of hearts with soft pinks and cream. I just loved this combination.First I needle felted with pink and white wool around the Queen of hearts picture,added beads,buttons and charms. Made a heart flower twig on the top,tatted heart with beads on the right.The charm bracelet and a little Bling with crown on the lower right finished this block.
