"CREATIVITY"

"Creativity is the mind at play with

the materials that it loves."~Carl Jung

                     A friend inspired me when she gave me a "Mini-quilted Birthday Card"       

to get out my fabric and ribbon embroidery basket.

I had made a ribbon embroidered crazy quilt pillow for my

grandaughter for Christmas as shown in a prior post.

I had some scrapes from that project left and could not bring myself

to throw them away.  So I was delighted with the idea of this little quilt.

I decided to use my scrapes to make some 4" sachet angels with lavender

seeds inside for a delicate lavender smell.

Below are pictures of two angels made from the

crazy quilt scrapes and one made with raw silk and embroidered flowers.



 

Pictured below is my "Mini-quilt Birthday Card" and some

others that my friend has made.

@ 5"x7"

I finished another crocheted baby quilt, white with a blue edge
for a friend  who has a new grandson.

 

That's it for now.  I have enjoyed keeping my hands busy making these items, now

I need to get back to painting!!!!!!!

Come back for a visit soon.....

Ribbon Embroidered Pillow, Croched Blanket and A Baby Bootee!

RIBBON EMBROIDERED HEART PILLOW

 A Christmas gift last December for my granddaughter, Ella.

I made this crazy quilt with ribbon embroidered flowers

on pretty white and off white fabrics including

silk, taffeta and satin. Of course I made all the

flowers PINK!  Ella has it hanging on her bed post.

A good friend had a baby girl in December.  I finished

a crocheted  baby quilt for the new arrival.   I also painted

a 5"x5" pink baby bootee with her name and birth date.

I'm working on some ribbon embroidered angel sachets

and will post them when I am finished. 

Also, I am crocheting a white baby blanket for the next

friends baby or grand baby.  I am getting smarter in

my old age.  I will finish off the white blanket with a

border of blue or pink whichever I need.  

Visit again soon!
