Now. I know a lot of my readers know a lot of things, but I’m hoping someone can tell me where to find good Mannequin heads, and possibly arms/hands… I’m going to be making some scarves and I want to use those as a display. Any clues? I see them on eBay, but I was wondering if anyone knew of anywhere else?
Thanks in advance!
It took about 7 hours on mindless sewing and watching almost the entire first season of Bates Motel, but here it is! All Finished! I used quite a bit of clothesline, about 200 feet, and it was nice to use of some of my fabric scraps, and I cut some strips to add in as well in some of the fabric colors I like. Once I teach a class on it, it will end up in front of my stove. Best thing about it that it is machine washable! Now I want to make on for the landing at the top of my stairs!
I hate holiday shipping! I finally got the fabric though! I love the blues I got in the mail! I was a little worried they wouldn’t be saturated enough, but they are just so cute! A couple are even from Joann’s when I went a little out of control during the moonlight madness sale! Great way to use some of it up!
Isn’t it just fabulous! I’m tying all the colors in my kitchen. Lots of greens, and browns and a little black and grey! I can’t wait to finish it!
Everyone knows I’m taking a small break from sewing quilts as the holiday season made me a little burnt up. Also, I’m sick as a dog, so no fancy sewing for a day or two. Alas, even though all I want to do is lye in bed, I still feel the need to sew something, so I made these…
Aren’t they cute! I’ll post a tutorial soon! Also, I think I might make a rug! Wish me luck!
Just so no one thinks I’m slacking off I posted the picture of it finished on Christmas Eve morning, but I just didn’t get a chance to put it up on here. I used quite a bit of glow in the dark thread to do a tight stippling in the some of the tetris blocks, and then I also used the glow in the dark thread on one of the borders. I think it turned out marvelous!
I finished it! Well, the quilt top is finished, but that’s what the customer ordered, so I’m so happy it turned out great! I just love this color pattern! It has already been mailed out, so I can start work on my last quilt before Christmas! Tetris! Wish me luck! Not much sleep for me until after the holidays!
It took quite a while, but I finally got around to quilting it! Considering I made the quilt top many moons ago, it has been sitting on the end table in my guest room for quite some time, and I just couldn’t take it anymore! It had to be quilted so here it is! I actually have enough fabric already cut to do a matching queen size quilt for my room! I used a gorgeous simple purple mottled fabric for the backing as well as the binding. It just turned out so perfect, and it is now hanging up in the shop I work at! I can’t wait to make the queen sized one!
I’m sorry I haven’t posted much lately. I’ve been sewing like I’m getting paid for it or something… Oh wait, I am… I’ve been sloshed with commissions and I’m down to my final two before Christmas! I actually sewed quite a bit more than what these pictures show, but it is totally amazing and I’ll post those pictures later! Wish me luck!
I know I haven’t posted anything quilt related lately, but I’ve just been so busy. I just finished this the other night and I’m mailing it out today. Now tonight I have to make a Full size quilt top to mail out on Wednesday. Wish me luck!
