Pat's Quilt

This was a quilt that Pat pieced and appliqued.  It seems to have a star theme.

I did each block individually to have it's own look.

Victoria's Nursery Items

My daughter is having her first child in a couple of months.  So I am helping her with her decor by knitting.  This cute elephant is sitting on a shelf in her nursery.  He was pretty fun to knit up and is very soft and cuddly.

He even has a little tail.

My Ravelry link.  The pattern is free.

And here is Mr. Fox.  I used the pattern from Little Cotton Rabbits. But I used worsted weight yarn which makes him a little larger.

I revised the pattern for the short pants and added straps.

Wouldn't you like these for your nursery?

What I'm Working On - Applique

These are pics of ongoing projects that I've been doing over the last several months.  That means that I don't work on them a lot but they have been great for the summer.  The smaller one especially is easy to take with me or sit out on the porch with as I work on it.

These are both Hawaiian projects.  This is the border of the smaller one.

This one is a king size quilt for my bed.  I have the center finished and am just working on the outside edges.  This project is large as it is one piece and I only do it on the weekends.  It's a great one for watching golf or football on the TV.

 My method of basting is pinning with safety pins.  No pokes there.

Dragonflies and Daisies

This is a baby quilt that I copied from a magazine that is years old.  I am trying to just use my stash and this worked for that.  I started with the border fabric and picked the rest from there.

Daisies in the border and so there had to be daisies in the  quilt.

The dragonflies add a nice touch.  It is all fused applique.

Dear Jane

These are the first blocks in my second set that I am doing.  They are 1,2,3 in D,E,F.  

This set has a lot of blue.  We'll have to wait and see how they look when it all comes together.

Crocheted Animals

These are all future prizes for some little children.  It seems that they are a hit.

All of these, except for the mouse in the leaf come from a website with free patterns called Amigurumi Today.  Most are not listed on Ravelry.

Timmy the Dog

This is a dog cupcake.  It mixes the best of both worlds - pets and sweet treats.

All of these are crocheted with sport weight yarn.  It keeps them a little smaller which I like.

This little mouse is from a different website but is also a free pattern.

He is very tiny and very fast to crochet up.

Watermelon Turtles.  Mom and baby.

Cuddle Me Panda

Cuddle Me Lion

Cuddle Me Elephant

Hopefully these will last a little while before I need to make more.
