NEW PROJECTS





These photos are of my latest projects. I've had fun making a lined jacket for my granddaughter who lives in Alaska. This was my first attempt at lining something and it turned out quite good. She'll stay nice and warm!
The bright green shirt was my own pattern because I like a lower neckline and a longer hem. My daughter surprised me with the material and said: "Do something with it!" So, I did!
The earrings are my latest - dreamcatchers (a fiery red, orange & yellow) and the gold medallions with red, faceted 4 & 6mm beads.
I love creating new things and I got the chance with this beautiful turquoise and sterling silver rosary. I used a 24 gauge eyepin to support the use this could get and 10 links of chain for the spaces.
If you have any questions on how to make any of my projects just leave a comment or email me and I'll be happy to help with your own endeavor. Enjoy yourselves!
Made With Love As Always,
Karen

FINISHED QUILT BLOCK




This is the first finished block in my granddaughter's quilt. It not only has embroidery, but I added a few beads as well. I had a lot of fun making this purple block. My next one is blue... so when I get going with the bunny in the middle, I'll give you a peek!
Made With Love As Always,
