Helpers with the Lost Ships

Molly and Clark have been helping with the Lost Ships. 

She cuts 

She irons 

And he wears my shoes

Crown Doily

Here is the completion of the crown doily

Clover Doily

I have been having fun creating my own patterns. 

Here is my clover doily 

And the center again but in green 

My very first tatting pattern

I decided today that I was a good enough tatter that I could design my own pattern. 

So far this is what I have. I am pretty pleased with it. 

I also finished the top of a castle quilt today. I will post pictures of that later. It is awesome. 

Feathers, feathers, and more feathers

I have been working on the cross stitch some more. I have been doing lots of feathers. 

Yesterday when I went to the store I decided to get some fabric to make a castle quilt. It will be smallish and maybe a wall hanging. It should be awesome. I am going to do a variation of the castle I made for Juniper. But just the castle. I will start it today. We shall see how far I get. 

Baby blanket for Cecily

Jared and Angela are having a baby girl this summer. I made them a baby blanket today. 

  

Another framed tatted piece

Here is my blue star all framed and pretty

Three in a row

I put my three identical tatted pieces in a frame. It is so cute!

Lost Ships Progress

So I am visiting my sister and I forgot my quilting ruler but my sister's ruler is working nicely. It is kinda short but hey...it works!

Lots of squares

Lots of little triangles 

This is how I am thinking I will piece it

More feathers (and a few Boston pictures)

Here it is.  The feathers are coming nicely.  Admittedly I did not work on it today. Instead I worked on the quilt. But I did not really take good pictures. Tomorrow I will post the quilt progress.

Yesterday I went to Boston. It was so fun. 

Here is the view from 50 floors high

And the view from the ride across the harbor

The peacock progresses

It is becoming more distinct as a peacock 

And I moved my hoop!

It's a peacock!

The peacock is now taking shape. 

And now I am calling it a night 

Mom's Bento Box Quilt

My mom made this quilt in its entirety. Isn't it fantastic? (I did help choose the fabric). When I asked her to send me some pictures of the quilts I made that are at her house she sent me these pictures as well.

Most of the fabric is from a fabulous little quilting store in Holt (the same place I found the back to Juniper's quilt).
