scrappy

This is a quilt that I made this summer out of precious scraps. It now covers Izza's bed.

I spent nearly the entire weekend working on a quilt for our bed. I am thankful that I was able to devote precious time to work on it, and I am now starting to assemble the top! 

I can see that quilting could become a bit of an addiction. :)

happy new year

It's been ages since I have blogged.... I'm now back and anxious to share what I create!  I am kicking myself for not taking pictures of everything that I have made since I left off last. I may go back through old pictures and will make every attempt to capture & share my creations.

 Izza is wearing her Christmas dress that I made out of super soft red corduroy. 

bittersweet good-byes

June 1st was the last day of my career as an occupational therapist at Gundersen Lutheran in LaCrosse.  I made a little something for each of my dear co-workers: jewelry pouches for the gals and coasters for the guys.

Not just any dress

I made this dress for Izza for Easter... and had grand intentions of taking a picture of her in it.

She wore it yesterday for Chris's graduation from seminary and again I did not get the perfect shot to feature the dress, but this picture captures everything that I wanted her dress to be! 

Here she is peering over the balcony in Central Lutheran Church in Minneapolis, MN watching her daddy walk down the aisle after he received his Master's of Divinity degree!

Now what should she wear for her daddy's ordination?  If only my sewing machine wasn't packed up quite yet!

Mother's Day gifts

Baby Gift

I made this for a sweet co-worker of mine, who is expecting a baby boy.

Mod Log

I had so much fun making these table runners. 

The pattern is a modern twist on the log cabin quilt.
