ok i am back at it.

first i want to thank everyone for their lovely comment about the dolls. the dolls that have the arms and leg made out of coat hanger, that is not my original design. someone that i know made one and i just tried making it myself. now the other dolls are from a book call, cloth doll artistry. the clothes are my own design. i am still working on perfecting this. i need to work on the hands, legs. and mostly try making faces for these dolls.

now someone also asked about the scarves that i helped my niece make. the scarf is my nieces design. their is no pattern. and the direction that you asked about are right. enough said about that and i am not helping her anymore.

ok, i am back, at it and it is because i was surround by my quilting sistah's at guild meeting this weekend.  i gusess by just getting a break from home and work and not think about my personal life for a few hours just got my creative mojo working.   i even took my granddaughter with me and she had a great time and by the end of the guild meeting she was asking if she could join.  we have young girls under14 as members.
so when i got home i started working on the PRINCE piece.  for the past two months i have mess up fabric trying to do other people.  i dropped out of a challenge because i could not do the person that i was trying to do.  my mind was somewhere else.  but now i am back so let me show you what i have been doing,

here is the picture of prince that i was using to get my idea from.

1. shaping the face.

2.working around the eyes and around the frame of the face.

3.  added the eyes, lips and hair.

4,  add his symbol and back ground fabric.  i have not decided as to how i am going to quilt this and whether or not i am going to add a border.  i am going to think on this for a while.

i hope you like it.

dolls

i haven't been quilting for about two months.  it is not like i haven't tried, for some reason i just keep messing up fabric.  so i decided my hands into making dolls and i like it.  quilting is still my first love, but for some reason my creative flow in not into my quilts.  life is kind of crazy right now for me.  my personal life still have somethings that need solving and that should be cleared up by the end of the month.  so check out my dolls and i hope you like it.

the first three dolls, arms and legs were made from coat hanger's. the other dolls were made by following a book and i added my little changes to it. i am not good at making their cloths. this will be something that i will have to work on. oh i forgot, the hair is real dreadlocks. and no they are not my locs.  the hair was give to me by my locitian.

stitches for now.

busy life

for those of you that are waiting for me to finish projects for them, i am sorry but i have a family emergency and some of my projects are behind.   i have been sick, but i also have a family member that is ill and need my attention right now.  going back and forth to doctors and going to work kinds of drains me and make me tire.  so i find myself messing up quilt pieces.  here is a piece that i have been working on for a month.  i had to do this piece over about three times.  most of the time i and make this in a couple of hours. my creative energy was just not there. but i finally got it as close as i could.  the person is picking this up this weekend.  i am also trying to make xmas gifts and i am also messing those up also.  here is a picture of the couple that i did.  i hope they like it.

i want to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday. i properly won't post until next month.  be safe and happy stitches.

WHY DID I VOLUNTEER

I volunteer to help my niece make these lovely scarfs and i am dreaming about these these.  she is going to be selling these at Sister's Only event in dc at the convention center this Saturday November 6.  making these have taken all my time to the point where i have not done any quilting.  i love my niece, but right now my shoulders are starting to hurt and i have not finish this second pile that she has given me.  and to top it off i have started knitting again, just because i don't have any hand work to do.  i brought this cute little headband that can keep your ears warm and you can also wear it to keep your neck warm also.  i decided that i could make some more instead of  buying a hand full of them.  i am working on this while i ride to and from work on the bus. it takes my mind off all those scarves that i have to make when i get home.   i found a free pattern on the Internet.  it didn't have a flower on the side like the one i brought.  i will add the flower to it.  i will be glad when saturday is over so that i can get back to my quilting.  i have a lot to do.  i have a few challenge quilts that i need to complete. i will keep my mouth shut about helping someone with something like this. it is a whole lot different from quilting.  quilting relaxes me, but doing this is just a lot a stress on me. saturday please hurry up and get here.


stitches for now.

oh and one more thing if you happen to be a the sister's only event stop by and say hi!

the skirt

LOL when i saw carol's coment in the last post, i had to LOL.  girl i started to post  a picture of the skirt.  i was just to lazy to take a picture.  one reason i didn't post the clothes because i thought people would rather see quilts. someone else also ask me why i didn't show the skirt.  the pattern is call "stella strip skirt"  no. 103, by serendipity studio.  their web address is SewSerendipity.com.  i made the skirt long. the pattern looked hard to me, but it was quite easy.  so here it is and also a picture the top that i made that is to big.

stitches,

carol, you are right i did take the pledge to show the steps of my work and i will.
