This is a block I worked on for Marya in my Crazy Quilting Internation online cq group. I hand dyed the vintage lace band and the crocheted heart. Ithen added a ribbon ruched pansy, a butterfly charm and a metal heart finding that I beaded. I did some seam variations with beads as well. Enjoy!

Purse
Finally, this is the purse I created for the purse contest at CQI last year! This is the front with a mother earth type silkie and beaded trees and flowers! The back continues with a lighter treatment using lace motifs and embroidery. Now to list it over at Etsy! Enjoy!
Landscape Wall Hanging
I have been negligent in getting this posted. It is a piece that was in a round robin at CQI (Crazy Quilting International). Some awesome work was done on this block! I especially loved Gerry's lady and geese! They are such a wonderful touch! I had to complete it when it got home by adding the tree and a few more touches! Thanks once again to all my cq buddies that helped create an awesome treasure for my wall!
Dr R's wall hanging
This is a completed wall hanging for my vet! He has been wondrful with us and doing things for little to no charge at times which is unheard of today. So, I decided he needed a long lasting reminder of his beautiful furboy, Puck! I tried to incorporate the mountains they love and qualities that we find here in Colorado. Hopefully he will enjoy it!
Cherry quilt hangers
This is one of many sets of quilt hangers that my dear husband made. I love these with the carving detail on them! They are made of cherry.
These next ones are made of mahogany and are for larger quilts.
I will be soon selling pairs of these on an Etsy shop which i'll direct folks too once its up and going! These are WONDERFUL for hanging small pieces and avoids the need for a quilt sleeve! VBG! Enjoy!

I am in a rr at CQI (Crazy Quilting International) that is focused on faces. Nicki is enamoured with UTS so I tried to bring in a bit of that flavor for her. I have taken pics of both her block and then one of all her blocks together! She's got a start for a wallhanging! Enjoy!

Debbie's block
Finished up Debbies block! I was enamoured by a vintage postcard that had a car full of dolls and teddy at the wheel, so I adapted it to a front on view! I used an old earring for the steering wheel, sewed down mop buttons for the headlights and glued shisha mirrors on top of that. Hope you like it Deb!

Dimitys 2nd Block
I finally finished Dimity's (aka Diane) second block in the faces rr at CQI. I used re-purposed necklace for the head piece and a re-purposed earring for the necklace. I then embroidered the hair, secured Dimity's cloisonne' face with a peyote cabachon treatmentand beaded things up! I hope that she enjoys the block!

Special Wall Hanging!

Christmas Fairies - sort of
Just a bit of whimsy I thought I would share! I have fallen in love with these little fairies that are made by Mark Roberts. They aren't all specifically Christmas but I just had to add them in with their other friends! One is a sugar plum fairy chef, another a gardner and a pumpkin.... they are all sooo fun! Enjoy!
Todd & Melissa
Debbie Quirion's son and daughter in law recently lost their home to fire. I decided to create a wall hanging for them based on their wedding picture. I added a cq frame, printed the picture on cotton, beaded the bodice and veil or the bride and embellished the frame! Now to get it off in the mail!
Wall hanging
I am stitching my fingers off, completing small gifts for crazy quilting friends. This is for a friend....can't say "who" right now. VBG! This is a silkie printed from a Mucha poster and embellished. I'm rather fond of this one...must be the tree! LOL!!

Quirion Fur baby 1
A good friend of mine that lives in Maine as several boys. One of them, Todd is married to Melissa. Just after Debbie returned to Maine from the CQI retreat here in Colorado, Todd and Melissa's home burned down taking their two fur babies as well. At CQI we decided to shower them with special handmade ornaments for Christmas. I made two ornies..... one of each fur baby
and am also working on two small wall hangings for them. One is a wedding pic printed on cotton which I will bead. I framed it in CQ and will embellish it. The second one is a few special pics of all the fur kiddos they have had. I am stitching the "silkies" of them down to a batik background I have stamped with paw prints. I will then bead or trim up around each picture and quilt the rest. Got a little ways to go, but wanted to share this project. Tis close to my heart.

Kerry's Christmas Skirt Wedge
This is one of the wedges of a wonderful tree skirt that Kerry was sending around for the Christmas RR we are in together! I tried my hand at waste cloth with the stars....think I need some schooling in that department! LOL!! MUCH easier to free hand embroider! Anyway, I tried to keep my stitching more elegant and subtle in this in keeping with the feel of the block! I hope you like it Kerry!
RoseAnnes Goddess of Light
I have just finished up my "angel stitching" for RoseAnne on her block! She askedfor celestial beings, soI gave her the goddess of light! Tis alllll beaded and very sparkley! Hope you enjoy her, Rose Anne!
