Obsessive compulsive bags

I found this bag pattern in all the ones that I have bought in the past few years. It is fun to make and there are so many possibilities with it. It takes 2 fat quarters to make it. Fat quarters are another item that I seem to have accumulated over the years. Now I can use them without hesitation.

Lauren's Moon and Star Quilt

I made this lap quilt for my godchild. She majored in earth science. The seahorses captured her interest. I also included quilt squares that are called Moon and Star. I thought these were appropriate since her last name is Moon. I used some different techniques on this quilt such as silkscreen and spray dye.

Ann Marie's Tote Bag

This is a tote bag that I made for my sister-in-law for Christmas. Since she lives in south Florida, I made it more tropical looking

Emma's Ruffled Sweater

Just completed this little sweater for Emma. I found some pink leggings and a matching turtle neck to wear with it. This is for her 4th birthday on November 20th.

Emma's Napper

Emma, my granddaughter, went to see Toy Story. She loves Woody and Buzz. So much so that while wearing her princess tiara insisted her mother buy her boots with the characters on them that were in the boys shoes. I made her a new napper for her naps at day care. It has a sheet attached as well as a pillow and it rolls up to tie for caring it home.

Three Cousins circa 1922

I have always loved this photograph of my mother (right) and her sister with their cousin from Virginia. I printed it on fabric. For the background I used some of my discharged fabric with leaves and evergreen needles on it. I added stamped images of leaves. On the left there is an orange produce bag with leaves "free-motion" sewn over it.

Peyton's Trees

This quilt is based on one of Peyton's paintings that he did for his senior show at Atlanta College of Art. I used the discharge method to create the negative space. Since this is an whole cloth quilt, I quilted in the negative space.
