Bootleg Bonnet

I call this my bootleg bonnet. Don't ask 'cause I'm not telling--its a long story.

Anyway, I've had the kit for a while and finally made it up today. It was pretty easy and went together quick and I think it turned out really cute. With the embroidered cross on the back it would make a great christening bonnet.

Heirloom Baby Diaper Set

I made this little outfit as a shower gift. Isn't it just too cute!?!

I make custom heirloom christening gowns, daygowns, slips, bonnets, booties, layettes, in all natural fibers.

Special Quilts

These are two heirloom quilts I've made in Martha Pullen heirloom classes taught by Lisa. They go in my hope chest to pass on to future generations someday. These quilts combine my love of heirlooming, embroidery, and quilting.

Heirloom Vest

This is the heirloom vest I made last year at a Martha Pullen retreat taught by Lisa and Carol. Its made of white linen with ecru and white laces and ribbon. We used all sorts of heirloom techniques like lace shaping, stippling, bridging, entreduex, puffing, tucks, cathedral windows... I love being able to wear what I create.

I finished my Jacket!!

Well, I finally finished this jacket from the Martha Pullen School of Art Fashion. Now all 4 of my projects are done! Yay! I changed most of the fabrics given to us in our kits and I changed some of the design elements, like the hemline, neckline... and I did a rickrack braid technique instead of the iron on scroll. I also added some decorative stitching and an applique embroidery. It turned out to be a lot of work and I'm glad I finished it. Whew! Now on to other unfinished projects.

Teddy Bear's Tea Party

My Artista bears are having a tea party on my Cottage Rose quilt. I made the quilt. The designs are from a Jenny Haskins embroidery disk.

Memory Envelope

I make these for weddings, bridal or baby showers, and birthdays. This one is made of ivory silk dupioni. Inside, I personalize them with the names and date of the event. These are a lot of fun to make.
