Reflection

 

Happy New Year!

As we begin another year, we look back and are thankful for the blessings of family and  friends.  

We wish Peace for All in this New Year!

2011 was a Great Adventure!

Darling daughter and youth group traveled to Italy on Pilgrimage!

 

 

 

 

 

Then we explored America's Beautiful West and Southwest!

 

Grand Canyon at Sunset-Breathtaking!

 

Yosemite's Half Dome-Spectacular!

El Capitan-Yosemite 

 

 

More Yosemite

San Francisco Bay

It was difficult to return, but there was much work to do for shows:

 

Ball Pillow Production

 

Butterfly Flower Sachet Production

Initial Sachets with Butterfly Detail

 

 Butterfly Pillows!

Flaming Festival

Garden Deva Show

Garden Deva Neighbors

And a Blessed Christmas!

Wishing you much JOY!

HAPPY 2012!!

Life is a Ball!

One of my very favorite pillows to make is a Button Ball! Here is a velvet version, pattern available this week in ilovefiberart store:

Whether sewing it up in silk/rayon velvet or your favorite cotton or home dec fabric, this pillow is sure to be a great accent to your collection-or a fabulous gift!


There is no end to the creative finishing you can do on this sculptural treasure! I even use my pattern to make snowmen pillows every winter!

Happy Sewing 'Round & 'Round!

Round & Round- Sewing & Traveling!!

If you are like me, you enjoy having something to do with your hands while traveling...that is if you are fortunate enough to be in the passenger seat! Here, on top of my handy atlas (i love my atlas-even though my dear husband & darling daughter both have GPS on their fancy phones-I like the old fashioned visual overview of a GIANT Rand-McNally!) is a pillow I made & embellished....around & around & around!

You can always find endless uses for beautiful vintage pearl buttons! I raided my collection yet again but was entertained for many hours with this pillow!

Here is the built-in door "caddy" (I am thinking that someone should design a better travel holder! maybe a soft one with pockets to hold everything from thread, scissors to buttons?) Sounds like a good project for later!

*Note-I finally finished the pillow & was a little sad to see it go at a recent show...a nice lady purchased it plus 2 other gold ball pillows with buttons & beads to group as a set. At least they have a happy home & will all be together!!

Happy Sewing & Travel!
