Fall and Breast Cancer Tealights

These fall and breast cancer tealights are just the right accent for your fall decorating.
The lights will last up to 120 hours, and are very reasonable in price to replace. The lights make the cover stand up, so they are easily replaced.

And these are the breast cancer tealights. My mom passed away from breast cancer in Oct.,so I always like to do something special for Breast Cancer month.


These are available for purchase at my Etsy store, lenibvs, if you are interested.

Thanksgiving tablerunner

I made this tablerunner for my sister-in-law's birthday. It was a bit late (shame on me), but she liked it anyway.  There are not a lot of patterns for Thanksgiving, and this one is really cute.  I will also be making these for sale.

Dog Bone Pet Stocking

I know it is a little early to be thinking about Christmas, but when you sew, you think about it all year. I saw these cute dog bone stockings on Emblibrary's site.  They are the best site for any kind of embroidery you might be looking for.  Plus, they add projects too.  My dog needs a new stocking this year, so this is perfect.  I will be selling them on my Etsy site for $20.00 each.  They are machine quilted so they will last a long time.
The stocking is 18 1/2 long and 11 inches wide at the widest and longest points. A 2x2  picture fits this one, but the square can be made into a rectangle if needed. Maximum would be 3 1/2 x 2 1/4.  They can be personalized with your pets name.

3D Purse

I didn't think I would ever find a fabric that was 3D, but it is out there.  I didn't really believe it until the lady at the quilt shop gave me the 3D glasses.  I don't really like 3D movies so I was hesitant to even look through them.

Of course, most people won't know the fabric is 3D unless they happen to have the glasses.lol. Most unlikely.

The pattern I used is 'Penelope'.  I have made 5 purses with this pattern, so you could say I really like it.

Red,black and white quilt

This quilt only took me about a month from start to finish, which is a miracle, and I love it.  When I saw this fabric I knew it was perfect for the living room.  The furniture is red, and there is one red wall.

Breast Cancer Quilt

I have had this quilt laying in my UFO box for the last 2 years. I guess I am on a roll this year because this is the second quilt I have finished since the beginning of the year.  Maybe I will finish up the other 2 that are still waiting.

This quilt is done in Moda breast cancer awareness fabrics.  I had the ribbon digitized by Gina at Splinters and Threads.  She does great redwork designs.  I also love her name designs. They are fun to put on personalized items.

This is a close-up of the square of the heart of the quilt.

Star Quilt

I've been working on this quilt for a few years. It is finally done!!!!!!!!!!!!!1  You can't see the bottom tips of the star because of the couch.  But they are there. lol.  This is the first large quilt I have machine quilted. Not easy to do with a large quilt.  I'm just sooo glad it is done.

Double Diamond Tote Bag

I love the double diamond ruler.  I really like how it looks in this tote bag. Adds alot of pizzazz to the black.  There are 4 columns of the dd design with basic black in between.
Measurements are 17 1/2 wide, 14 tall, and 5 inch deep.  Straps also  have the dd design and are 28 inches long. A very comfortable bag to carry.  Interior pockets around the width of bag.

Few purses since Christmas

I've had time to make 2 bags since all the holiday stuff settled down.  It was nice to sew without a time limit.  The plum colored one is for my neices bd. This is her 2nd bag from this pattern. It is intended to be a grocery bag. Not sure what she has in mind for it.










The second bag is for my son's girlfriend's mom.  I made Kathryn one for Christmas. Her mom liked it so well, I made her one too.
