quilt bracelet


I made the last piece for my mom's 90th birthday. It is a quilt bracelet with photos of mom and us 4 kids taken last summer. Each section is a tiny quilt with the photo and embellished with Saworski crystals. Of course it has to have a love charm also.

miniature quilts




I'm so excited!!! I'm making a series of miniature quilts for my mom's 90th birthday next month. I'm using old photos of her at various stages of her life. The first one is ano old baby picture of her and the second is mom when she graduated "normal School" with her teaching credential at 17. The third is in the works and features a casual snapshot of her at about the same age. Both of these need a little hand work to complete. Beading holds on much of the embellishment. They are turning out better than I expected.

Another RR doll leaves



Here she is as she arrived and as she departed. I built on her basic gown using her as a dress form.
