Crafting with Sonja February 25 - March 1

Sonja came for a visit in February and did a lot of crafting.

A little pillow she made for a
friend who will be moving away. 
She will stuff it when she gets home.

She made a dragon wall hanging
for her room using batik fabrics
for the dragon then applicaying
it to the fabric she chose at Hobby Lobby.

She wanted a pin cushion so
we fussy-cut some fabric.

This is something Sonja
wanted to make for Valentin.
She said it will be a
pillow or maybe a coaster.

She picked this fabric especially for her Mom
and made this pillow with it.

Sonja thought Julia
might like this pillow and
blanket set for Baby Fuchs.

February hears of all kinds ...

I made many hearts for the IFAQH.com project. Kathy and I took some to share at a Stitching Girls Society sewing retreat in February. I hope to add a picture of a Valentine's Day card if Leslie sends me a picture of hers.

Here's a table runner I made with
miscellaneous hearts.

I made these machine embroidery
hearts with a free design from
Kreative Kiwi (Koru Heart Coaster)
and turned them into a bunting for the kitchen doorway.

Then a couple more buntings made of
scrappy hearts for around the skylight 

Seahawks crafting

In preparation for the Seattle Seahawks playing in Super Bowl LX, I made myself a cowl with yarn I've had for a while. I also made a Seahawks patch for Merwin's sweatshirt.
