Custom Pillows

As promised, I'm including photos of custom pillows that I recently finished for a client.  These were custom sizes, made with velvet for the three pillows with a self welted trim.  They turned out wonderfully and were fun to create as well.  Enjoy.

Sewing Projects

Working on multiple projects and getting close to being done with them.  Watch for those finished project to be posted soon.

Just posted the drapery pics that I completed.  They look great hung over the windows. 

There is still time for holiday projects to be sewn if anyone is looking for that personal gift.  If you are considering something more personal, like a memory quilt, this does take a little extra time.  Keep in mind graduation, baby, wedding giftts...these are great ocassions to add those personal touches to a gift.

Welcome Back

Well it's been about a year since I've posted something new and exciting on my blog.  I'm back up and running with some new projects.  Started off the fall season with a nice Viking's fleece blanket, then moved right into drapery hemming & alterations.

This weekend will be devoted to custom pillow covers.  I hope it stays cold outside so I won't feel compelled to leave the sewing machine.

Watch for new posts and photos.  The holidays are just around the corner and there are many great ideas to customized gifts for your family and friends.  I'm looking for new projects.

Holiday Cheer

Wow, it has been some time since I've last posted anything. Well the summer flew by and now it's already holiday time.

I'm eagerly taking on those holiday gift projects, so don't wait until it's Christmas eve to place your order.

See the most recent project...a Twin's tie blanket. It's very warm and cozy for any sports fan in your family.

Happy Holidays!

Spring Flowers have arrived

Finally spring has arrived in MN! Finished up an adorable baby blanket while sitting outside and enjoying the weather. That's the way to sew, on the deck while basking in the sun!

Looking for new projects, so if you have a special event coming up and need that personal touch, contact me to create that one of a kind gift.

Twins Season

If you're a Twins fan, get your pillows ready! I can create really cute washable T-shirt pillow covers with your old or new Twins (or any sports team) t-shirts.

See some of the recent pillows created for a local Twins fan. It's not too late to get one or two for this season.

Go Twins!

Memory Quilts Finished

Since my last post, I have now finished all five memory quilts for a family who recently lost their father. It was such a nice way to honor their father's memory by incorporating pieces of his clothing into quilts specifically made for each one of his children. The other unique element in designing these quilts was to find material that linked this person's memory of them to their father. See some of the different panels or blocks within each quilt as examples of this.

Now, looking for my next project. Hopefully, more t-shirt pillows for those die hard Twins fans!

Contact me if you have any special project in mind. Nothing is too big or small.
