and the binding done. Maybe she will live on etsy tomorrow!!
I have also started a new line for my shop. They are felty marine animals. I simply love fish - gee, I own 5 tanks after downgrading from the 8 that I had! I see lots of plushy felt animals on etsy, but outside of the occasional fish or seahorse, there isn't much of a selection. So, I had this baby shower to go to last weekend and the mom wanted plushy toys for the baby. I hate buying toys when I am very capable of making them, so her baby got the first starfish, squid, sand dollar, octopus and clam. They were just so cute and such a hit at the shower that I want to incorporate them into my shop! Stay tuned....
Orchid In Window Progress
I am so excited to almost be done with this quilted wallhanging! It was inspired by a picture of a quilt I have seen in a book before with non-descript flowers in a pot. After the wheels started turning and several drawings and graphings later, the quilt was on it's birthing journey. It is constructed of various fabrics from my fabric stash with a 100% cotton batting. I have machine quilted the background (otherwise, it would have taken me over a year to quilt!) and handquilted the details. The quilt is embellished with beads, which may not show clearly in the picture. The leaves, stems and dirt holes in the flowerpot is where you will find the beads. To give the effect of spanish moss at the top of the pot, I have embellished with a fancy yarn. Looks Sweet! Now....off to make the orchid flowers!
