Merry Christmas

This Quilted Art Nativity Sold last Christmas.

Created when I was part of a Miniature Quilt Group as a monthly

challenge to paper piece one section a month.  

My style is more improvisational now

but this composition is still special to me.

Merry Christmas Grandkids!

This year's hand made gift from me to each of my grandkids

is a Child & Nana Journal. 

The idea is to write in their personal journal and maybe  add some art

and give it to them. Then they can write a note and maybe add some art

and give it back to me. And on it goes.

These 2 journals traveled to Berlin which makes this concept a bit challenging.

I plan to write my note, and maybe add some art and mail it in

a regualr envelope to Berlin and the boys can glue it into their journals.

Them they can send me photos of what they write to me.  

Sounds like a fun adventure this year!

Day 21 - Quilted Advent Calendar

One of our family's traditions is to count down the days of December

 using this Advent Calendar where we put a yellow ultra suede star 

on for each day leading up to Christmas. 

 Now my grandkidscarry on this tradition.

Advent Candle Holder From Dad

 Every Christmas for several years when he was alive, my Dad

would create something useful for each of us 7 "kids".

I use this candle holder he fashioned from

chair railing to celebrate Advent.

I am thankful for the creative heritage from my Dad.

Buttoned Up Blue Christmas Tree

Artists appreciate hand made art. 

I wish I had taken a photo of the original fabric 

of this Christmas Tree that I purchased a few years ago.

I really liked the idea even though it was an odd color of green

with gold buttons. I prefer to decorate with silver and blue.

I decided to refashion the tree using the old shape as my pattern.

Now it's quilted from blue batik fabric, white buttons,

 wood repainted black and topped with a silver bow.

Ahh, it's ready for Christmas!

2017 Have a HeART for Big Brothers Big Sisters

I had never heard of 

Have a HeART forBig Brothers Big Sisters

until last year.  And I quickly created a Quilted Art HeART

to donate for the Valentine's Day Fund Raiser event. 

This year I've started a bit early and am 

creating one very similar that will also be mounted 

on a black 10 inch X 10 in Cradle Board. 

Hand embroidery and unique buttons to be added. 

Who wants to join and create a piece as well?

Sorting Buttons

I've been sorting 3 stuffed gallon sized zipper bags of

buttons for a friend.

 It's a bit tedious but fun

to see so many unique buttons.
