Pin Keep

This was crossed stitched on a cream linen.
With a pocket and some sweet little charms I found at the local Chinese market.  Some thread rings.  It was a little kit my friend Janita put together for us girls at our local stitch and bitch.

Crocheted Bells

I made these for Christmas presents for my friends.
 They were stiffened with a sugar water.  My mom used to make these when I was young so I wanted to do something to remember her.  Lovely aren't they?

More Progress.  I am now half finished.  Very easy and am loving the flow of the pattern.

Civil War quilt Blocks and Applique

These are Micheal's Victory quilt blocks from the Civil War era.  I am using them as a center piece for some applique vines and flowers.









Here is the center piece and progress so far.




More to come..........
