Home from the quilt show

 
Last weekend was a quilt show...in the town of Colville Washington.
It is a small town with tons of charm.
This is some of my booth shots....like the wire tree full of Halloween samples of my patterns.

My daughter Selina brought her finished fall pendants...displayed on the black backdrop.

And also on her pink mannequin....I love how she set it up!

I couldn't bring it all....so I selected mainly fall and Christmas projects.

My mermaid came along...since she is pretty new.

My candy canes are always popular...some projects are classic.

My lil ghost and my orange work Halloween quilt...makes me want to decorate!!!

My raggedy gals quilt pattern and some Halloween goodies...

I love meeting people...chit chatting and laughing with new friends.

That is quite the change from a very very shy girl....who now can talk freely without feeling strange.

I got this adorable cat from Stephanie of Primitive daisy

Her booth was right next to ours so we were always talking! 

She has a shop in Kettle Falls. 

I guess I better get busy with business now....thanks for stopping by!!

A brand new item ...is her earring blanks....a 3 pack.

You can make 3 sets...to match an outfit, to show off your embroidery (the set comes with the flower embroidery pattern design) or pop in your favorite fabric.

We were both featured on the Checker distributor blog recently!

her mini hoops and my pattern that has designs for her mini hoops.

It is the perfect summer project!

This is my pattern...with 12 designs to go in the mini hoops.

I tried to come up with as many different designs as I could...to please everyone.

Mother's day freebie!

Happy Mother's day to all you moms out there!

I can't wait to see what my daughter made me...I think it will be something on her laser machine.

My mom has been gone 18 1/2 years!  My only baby was just 20 days old when she passed...I believe she willed herself to stay alive to see her!

My mother in law passed away this past year...she was a real gentle soul.

Maybe you could stitch this up quickly for mother's day....it would be a sweet gift!

*Please note that all freebies are for you to use to make a couple finished goods (no mass producing) and a couple gifts...they are still legally my designs.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

So my $5.99 child's hutch started out like this....

scruffy yet not bad....

Now...It looks like this!

I sanded it, painted it with blue chalk paint, sanded it a little again and then put some wax medium over it.  

It is now perfect for my studio to hold goodies or for display at quilt shows. 

It has a lower cabinet area too.  

I really had fun redoing this project.

Next I want to work on a few things outside....garden related. 

I had to show you my dragon in my studio...he is about to pick up the block that says..."Keep calm and carry on".

There are some days you just can't keep very calm.

These are my lil violets...I had a ton of spider plant starts that I am using for spikes in my pots. 

I found this old rusty tool box on my property...so I made it into a planter...so sweet! 

This is my enemy...

the very healthy Dandelion...

He tries to ruin my spring every year.

Here is a Sneaky Peak of my next design....stay tuned!

Froy....says to have a Happy Weekend!!!

 He also recommends laying in the grass a while.

DAncing MerMaid

Have you ever seen a mermaid dancing?

Now you have...her partner is a lovely flounder...ha ha.

I love how her top is concealed.

This would be cute stitched up and hung in a bathroom!
