Tibetan inspired pillows

Made these great pillows from Tibetan aprons. Just folded in half and stuffed them. They are beautiful!

Babies, babies, babies - New project

Quite a few of my friends in Nepal were making babies while we were there. This is for another friend of mine who actually just had her baby but of course, I am behind.... Her hubby is a Navy man so I think this will be cute.

Finally....

I found this completed quilt top when I was unpacking my sewing room. I sewed the border on this evening and just ordered some backing fabric. Hope to get it mailed off this week to be quilted and binded. Nice little surprise - I totally forgot about this project :-).

DIY re-upholstered office chair

Look what I did today! This chair is in my kitchen and was disgustingly dirty. I bought this upholstery fabric at Joann's (took 2 yards) and covered it with no sewing. A little fabric glue, staple gun and a screw driver. I love it! Happy 4th of July to me. It only took me about an hour to complete this project. Good luck!

Joanna's Baby Stuff complete

I finished and mailed these about a month ago but I forgot to post pictures. I have 2 more friends having or that have had babies this year so I have 2 more little quilts on the way. I'm almost motivated.....

I tried out a different binding on this one and I love it! I think they will all look like this from now on :-).

I'm back at it.....

My craft room is finally organized and no longer the unpacking room for everyone in my house. I have bought shelves and baskets and attempted to throw away all the old stuff (dried up paints). I am not sure if I realized how much craft stuff I had - funny thing is, all of it went to Nepal and I probably sewed 3 times the whole 2 years we were there.

Well I'm back! Last weekend I spent about 3 hours wandering around Joann's looking at all the new stuff and trying to re-inspire myself to do something, anything..... I think I did it! I met a wonderful life long friend in Nepal that happens to be pregnant and she chose monkeys as here them - in luck, still have tons of left over yardage from my cousins baby quilt - and of course bought some more stuff last weekend too..... SO today I have cut out the whole top and I am slowly piecing it all together.

New Wine Bags

I created these bags with traditional Nepali fabrics. Love them!! I made both of these in about 10 minutes. Super Easy.

Wine Bag

We are headed to a friends tonight and I remembered we still don't have any wine bags. I made this in about 10 minutes and I love it. Super easy and I didn't measure anything just wrapped it around the bottle, made a few cuts and sewed it all together.
