Texas Ornaments - Charity

I made these ornaments and donated them to a Bee group for their church fund raising. They were really fun to make. I had bought quite a few yards of RWB fabric when there was a sale at Joanne's so they came in real handy for this project. I will definitely make more and donate them.

Charity Quilt - 4

Another scrappy quilt from donated fabrics for charity. This is actually my first free motion quilting practise quilt. I did the stars and was very happy with the outcome. Enjoyed the process and getting a better hang of free motion quilting. Prefer it much more than having to mark the patterns.

Charity Quilt - 3

This is one of the first quilt I made for charity after taking up quilting. The redwork are actually printed fabrics. I was so glad to find remnants of fabrics that matched well with each other.

Mosiac Stepping Stone

I have been wanting to try mosaic for ages.

After my house was built, the builder left 4 stepping stones in my tiny sideyard and it was just plain red concrete, the ones you get from home depot.

So I decided to try mosaic on them. Went to the store and got my supplies, and started the chinese character one first. It turned out nice and I was hooked and excited.

So I became more adventurous and did the lizard and that came out really nice and I was really inspired by now to finish all 4 steps. Then I did the dragonfly and love it.



For the last one, I wanted something different so I settle on flowers and I love this one too.

I just love my mosaic steps and I love the process of making them. They really brighten up my garden and I feel very good walking on them.

Charity Quilt - 2

This quilt top center piece is actually a remnant piece of house printed fabric.

The colorful borders are 1 1/2" stripes.

An older lady of a bee group actually helped pieced the borders and we had alot of fun making this quilt. All the fabrics were from stash and donated fabrics.

I can't wait to find sometime to do the quilting. It will be a good challenge and practise for me.
