creating Free Style Cobblestone blocks,

and adding them to the stash for my next piece.

Purse In The Mail

 Normally, for many years I have created my own purses,

but when I found the Etsy Shop of Julie Konetzki

who not only offers cute & affordable purses

and  her statement of

"easing the burden of adoption, one purchase at a time"

I ordered one right away.  It is beautiful!

Spirit/Wind Icon

 After searching for wind icons, 

this is what I chose to embroider on the verse block

of my latest piece.  Now for the inside of the block.

A Little Help

Although the quilting is almost complete, I'm still praying for direction in how to complete the Scripture block (middle right) in this piece.  Maybe a symbol on the bottom section of the light blue?  Maybe wave type shapes to represent the Spirit? Thoughts? Suggestions?

Big Stitching Free Style Cobblestones

After it's beginnings in a workshop I taught demonstrating 

Free Style Cobblestone blocks,

I'm trying out Big Stitch instead of regular hand quilting 

on this blue and green wall hanging.

Since I chose to use a really thick craft thread -

a variegated blue color

threading the needle is the hardest part.

Orange & Black Change Purse

 Another of the 4 left of the change purses

with key chain.
 I  began creating them these change purses several years ago

 for my daughter who wanted something small

 instead of a  regular purse.

 I've since created many and use them myself.   

I use mine in my purse but it's also easy to

 just take it along in my pocket.
