Snowy Days

Wnter is a wonderous time!  It'a a great excuse to begin a new project and spend hours in my sewing room.  Just finished up a pillow project and am now in the process of creating another custom quilt.

If you are thinking of having something warm and cozy made, give me a call or email to get this started for you.

Mother's day, graduation, Father's day are all approaching and great ways to celebrate those special ocassions with a special gift of a personalized quilt.

Looking forward to more snow days!!

Remembrance of a loved one

These memory quilts were recently finished and will be a wonderful way to honor and remember the loved one lost this past year.  They turned out very nice with all quilt squares made out of articles of clothing and tan fabric used as the binding and backing.

To start the new year off, I'm going to be tackling yet again another type of quilt.  It's a keepsake quilt and will hopefully be fun to make and preserve the childhood of a little girl.

Open for more projects in 2013!!  Never too soon to start planning for a graduation quilt.

Post Christmas

Sitting in a coffee shop with my youngest daughter enjoying the slower time after Christmas.  For those of you I did not see or wish, Happy Holidays!!

Thank you to all of my friends and clients for your business over this past year!  It has been wonderful being able to sew or quilt that special project for you and seeing how you have been pleased with how nice the item has turned out.  Some of the projects have been posted, others will soon be posted.

For me, the projects that I'm most proud of are the ones that have an emotional element to it and that I can be a part of their joy or happiness when it's completed.  It really makes me feel good inside!

If there is anything that I can make for you now or in the future,  feel free to call me at 612-432-6474

Christmas is around the corner

Time has been flying by since Thanks Giving and only a few short weeks away until the holidays are upon us!  The employee bazaar at work last week went very well and I was happy to take on several new projects for my coworkers and friends.  With that being said...there is still time for others to get an order completed before Christmas!

NFL and collegiate pillowcases and blankets have been a huge interest for gift giving this year.  If there are other longer term projects that you are looking to have created, give me a call or email me to discuss the details.

I look forward to creating something special for you.  lanenberg@q.com

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.
