Spring Doll Swap

Here is an adorable baby I made for the Spring Dinky Baby Swap...What should her name be?

Downy Quilt

I have finished a quilt to send to the Downy project, Thanks to my BF Lori who told me about this wonderful cause. They send you a qult kit and ask that you make it and then make an additional quilt to send to them, they in turn give the quilts to children in the hospitals...what a great reason to make a quilt..so here is the first quilt made from thier kit...

Dinky Babies made by me

These dolls are Dinky Babies patterns designed by Vicky Riley. I make them for fun, I sell some and take special orders. They are so fun to make!

This is a very sweet doll I made for a doll swap. I love her!

This is a special order doll, she has a wonderful new home.

The finished product from a Dinky Baby class I tought at the Community Center in Richland

Ballarina Dolls I made the pink one for my mother and the blue one for my daughter.

Doll's galore...Pattern by Meo Feroy

Faboulous bellydancer dolls I have made in past years....these are character dolls that I make from time to time.

Santa and Mrs Clause are looking quite smitten...

Growing old together has never been so fun down on the farm...

Getting married is a beg step...These dolls were a wedding gift..looks just like them too!

This is a doll I made for my mother...it looks just like her...well minus the back outfit, the boa the champaigne oh and the long wavy hair...Hmmm...Ok I did give it to my mother...I was going for the wild side of my very mellow mother.

My character dolls tend to bring out the character in the folks I make them for...I relish exaggerating things to make the dolls fun!

Belly Dancing...shimmy shimmy shimmy

This me doing a sword dance June 2009...

This is my some of my troupe that performed at Med Fest in Seattle July 2009

This is Ren Fair Richland 2009 Love our Gahwahze costumes.

So along with sewing quilts and spinning yarn I also sew and design bellydance costumes. I love the abitlity to be creative and bring fabrics to life.

For the love of Alpaca's

I dont only sew quilts but I spin yarn as well, I love Alpaca's and the local Alpaca folks in my area. I volunteer to spin fleece for the local farms in trade for the lovely fiber.

Diamond Floral Quilt

This is my diamond floral quilt, I have been peicing this one for a year now, I am slowly collecting the diamonds and placing strip by strip. I am not sure how large I am going to make this or how I will bind/finish the edges. Part of me likes the edges as they are and would like to add the backing and then just turn and hand sew the edges (lots of work) But then I could cut the edges and add a border, I even thought about doing a prairy edging...Comments thoughts...ideas would be grand!
