A few November finishes...

I had some tea toweling by the yard and 

thought it was time to cut them into tea towel lengths, 

hem them and 

add some embroidery and crochet edgings...

The snowmen a Bird Brain Designs Pattern #699

Snowmen by the Dozen.

I'm not sure where I got the kitten design...

I've had it for years.

and another one...

This Snowgal is 1 of 2 Bird Brain Designs found in the

Winter issue of Quilts and More magazine.

I used an Aunt Martha tea towel.

Wish I could find my magazine...I was hoping to stitch a few more.

I have been searching my house for 3 days...

I don't know where else to look.  

I'll keep looking for another few days...

if I can't find it I'll have to buy another copy.

Some of the toweling didn't have plain areas to add embroidery,

but they do have a crochet edging.

I completed my ALYOF November goal...

The ZEN pattern was in the February 2009 issue of 

American Patchwork and Quilting magazine.  

 It is a quick and easy quilt to make.

My November goal for ALYoF

I am making a second Zen quilt...I've made progress this month,

from this...

to this.  

 It has been a WIP for awhile.

I finished the first Zen quilt in May 2015.  

The pattern is from the February 2009
American Patchwork & Quilting magazine.  

My November goal is to have it quilted and bound for the

ALYoF Finishing Party.

October's Goal for ALYoF and WIP Wednesday...

I'm racing against the clock again to join these two linky parties...

The Raggedy Ann dolls were started many many moons ago...

It seems I never make just one of anything...

I made 6 bodies about 15 years ago

...yes that's many moons ago.

I made Annie dolls for our grandgirls for their 1st birthdays...
Leah is now 13 and Rylee is 8.  How time flies!!!
My October goal for ALYoF is completely finish one Annie
and give hair dos to the bald Annie's .
I have 2 bald bodies, 
yes I found another one today after this picture was taken...
that makes 3 that needs clothes and 2 need hair dos.
The one on the right with the poker straight hair is mine .
The pattern is by Dianna Marcum, the dolls are 19" 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My project for WIP Wednesday is another batik quilt called ZEN...

I have 27 blocks cut and stitched
...still have 36 more to cut and stitch.
This is the first ZEN I made
...some of the fabrics will be the same.
The two ZEN's will live in the same house...one for her, one for him...

I'm hoping to find a hour or so to work on the Annies tomorrow.

A sucessful finish for ALYoF and more...

...I finished the batik quilt and gifted it to Todd and Noreen.

They were packing up the car 

to go to Niagara-on-the-Lake for the weekend.

I just had to take a picture with Noreen's new Mini Cooper...

it's sweet...Noreen was camera shy!!

...and a picture in their back yard.

The quilt back is a green batik with a hint of lavender.

They loved it...I'm now cutting the pieces to make a second quilt.
It is a quick and easy pattern in the February 2009
American Patchwork & Quilting .  

My Hands2Help challenge quilt is also finished and ready to mail.

I used a Bear Country School layer cake and charm pack by Moda.
The quilt measures 48" x 56" .

 

The lilac bushes are gorgeous this year...

I can't believe I've finished it 3 weeks before I have to mail it.

I have till June 12...I've got time to make another one,
but I have lots of other projects on my 'to do' list...
we would like to be moved back to Canada by the end of the year!!
Still procrastinating...
