Tea Cup Table Runner

Tea Cup Table Runner

I bought these fat quarters and a pattern at a quilt shop in Pleasant Hill. While my father was sharpening their shears, I talked to the ladies about sewing and quilting. This will be used on our dining room table. This fabric caught my eye, because I enjoy collecting tea cups and tea pots.

Doll

Tilda Doll

I found a doll pattern in the Sew Pretty Homestyle book. I made the blue felt sweater and button print skirt for her out of scrap fabric. Her hair is made out of black yarn.

Fabric Rose

Tilda Fabric Rose

Roses can be used as an embellishment on purses, hats, and scarves. This pattern was from Sew Pretty Homestyle by Tilda. I purchased the book at Jo-Ann's Fabric.

Homemade Apple Pie

Warm Apple Pie
Pie ready to be baked!

My aunt Renea showed me how to make a pie crust from scratch. Her crusts are always tender and flaky. I learned not to over work the dough when rolling out and other valuable techniques from her. The apple pie was served for dessert after dinner. Yummy!

Cute Summer Top

My mother bought a summer dress pattern for my cousin and was not able to sew the dress this summer. So one day, I decided to work on the dress, and the dress is now a long summer top. The pink polka dot fabric is made of cotton and I used large pink buttons on the straps.

Recipe Card Holder

I have been looking for something to put recipe cards in for awhile. One day, when I was looking on sewmamasew.blogspot.com, I found a pattern for this. I stayed up late making it but it was worth it. Now I have a place to put all my recipe cards.

Purse

Yesterday, I made this purse. It is a clutch/purse. I could never figure out how to use the fat quarter that I purchased at Walmart. When I saw the pattern for a purse on www.sewmamasew.blogspot.com, I was excited and went to work on making one and this is what became of it. It is not exactly how she made her purse, since I used a velcro closure.
