Knit sweater for Julia

When we visited Emelie and family in Nebraska in May, I knit this little sweater for Julia. She was able to watch me do the knitting and seemed to like it when it was done

Then I made one for Sonja since I had more of this beautiful Bernat Softee Baby yarn. I still have one more skein to find a use for.

The sweater is called Wonder Wave, a DROPS Design:

Machine embroidery embellished t-shirt

Here's the shirt I embellished for Merwin for his birthday. I got the idea from a Life is Good shirt but wanted to do my own. (Oops, I don't seem to have a picture. I'll have to edit to add later.)

I think this is the right one ...

Easter napkins

I thought I should have some Easter napkins. It was quite a search for the fabric, but it's by one of my favorite artists, Susan Winget. I have four plates with different bunnies. Found them one year at Hobby Lobby.

Barn quilt

Grandmother's Flower Garden
in memory of Grandmother.

Kathy and I decided we should have some barn quilts on our houses. Merwin built the forms and put the first coats of primer on, then Kathy and I had a painting day in our garage. It took a couple more days to get them completed. Kathy doesn't have hers hung up yet.

Kathy thinks of barn quilts as a "secret handshake" between quilters.

It looks so tiny!

And here's Kathy's

Hanging kitchen towels

Hanging towels were requested by Leslie, and she selected this fabric. I was very lucky to find some towels at Walmart to coordinate beautifully with her fabric.

The first (machine embroidery) attempt at a towel topper was much too small, so I made a towel for Sonja's little kitchen.

Hooded bath towels

For Easter, I made this hooded bath towel for Valentin, then it seemed Julia could use one, too, so I made her one with a Frozen theme (at her request). The colors of the towels are much prettier than the pictures reflect.

Quilted wall hangings

I made a moose in the window wall hanging for Leslie in 2014. She picked out this pattern for a bear in the window, and I finished it for her for her birthday in 2021. The background is a panel and I had just enough of the fabric left from the moose to use for the sashing and border. I used an edge-to-edge machine embroidery quilt design with trees and bears from designsbyjuju.com.
