Engineer Daughter who lives in Ogden, Utah has done some fun embroidery. These are not recent projects, her most recent baby gifting is the first initial of a new baby's name on the front of the onesie. I think these are so fun. I'm proud of her. She is very busy, but makes giving handmade a priority. Her designs are original, too!<div>
Take Care.<br /><br /></div>

As Nancy's mom, I love everything she makes. Seeing her creativity flow is so very satisfying. Often I give her a 'problem' that I need help with on a project, watching her sketch, figure and solve on paper is amazing. We enjoy working on the same project, sharing the required duties. Pictured below are some of her goodies and a link to her easy store. If you are looking for something fun for you or for gift giving, go there!!! :) You will find hand embroidered pillowcases w/ elephants, a "green arrow" table runner, etc.</div>

I've made three three! quiet books in my lifetime, one of them twice (quiet book makeover). I guess that makes sense - one for each of my children (cheerin' as my dad calls them). Contained herein this post are pictures of the most recent...for the Crump family of Waddell, AZ. Blonde friend and I feverishly labored together, more enjoyable that way and can share in the supplies and materials.<br />

These are the best dog collars I've ever come upon! I just love them. Each collar is handmade with care using heavy weave nylon webbing, sturdy plastic hardware, a D-ring and embellished with ribbon and flower. There are three different sizes- small, medium and large. The collars come in all different styles and colors with new ones added frequently. If you are interested in getting a sweet collar for your doggie, I could even sweet talk her into a custom collar if you have a certain color scheme you desire!<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The flowers are layered with a circle of closed cell foam to ensure that they hold their shape, and are then sewn to the collar. Unless otherwise noted, any of the flower colors can be used on any of the collars, or no flower at all.</span><br />

Michiko, my Japanese friend, and I went to work cutting and piecing blue scraps.<a href="http://www.crazymomquilt.blogspot.com/"> Amanda Jean</a> would be proud of us. She inspires us all to use our fabric scraps. I find it a lot of fun and satisfying. The only part I don't love is having to iron before cutting, but we didn't have a lot that needed ironing...yeah!

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">This picture shows the scrappy binding that we used. Michiko's hand work is perfect. She stitches down the binding and likes to be able to do that last step of the quilt. The backing is soft flannel, white and blue gingham and was pre-washed. The last two baby quilts that I've backed with flannel have behaved very well for the machine quilting. I am happy about that. I seem to want to use flannel now more than ever. This was in my stash just waiting to be used. :) Take Care~~ </span><span style="font-size: small;"></span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr>

The minute I heard that my <span style="font-size: large;">'back row at church acquaintance'</span> had a new baby girl, this white and pink scrappy quilt popped into my mind. I knew I wanted to make this quilt, and quick. I just happened to see this little baby girl named Addison, who, is beautiful, at the grocery store with her mama. I was able to hook up with them later and deliver the quilt when it was completed.<br />

I'm please with how well it worked for this quilt. For the quilting, I used my favorite stitch, the Serpentine #3 on Bernina. I worked it in a large grid, passing through every other stripe of fabric, horizontally and vertically, edge to edge. I wish the picture showed the quilting. I hope Addison and mommy Katie, get a great amount of use in this quilt...and that someday, when Addison has a baby girl, she can use it then too. That's the beauty of good quality quilting fabric!</span></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr>

The grey structure below, was the local creamery/cheese factory in it's former life. Now it is a summer home to the owners. Occasionally, during the off season, I am fortunate enough to stay here. It is usually for girls' weekends, and boy do we have a great time! Thanks Nicole!<br />

This is an original from her. I don't know how she thought of making these, but I'm glad she did! Last year, I had her make several of these for me to give to friends and family. Handmade ornaments are the best. Do you give your kids a new one each year?<br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/85582870/embroidered-pillow-ornament"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 252px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683913122221443730" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Vx7FmLJak7w/TuFQ3rgwypI/AAAAAAAABmw/POt38v_oX_A/s320/Pillow4.JPG" border="0" /></a>Nancy and I made these little <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Embroidered Tree Ornaments</span></span> several years back.

I want to post about this quilt before I'm really late for the Christmas party(s)! Quite a while ago, I purchased a kit from Moda Bake Shop tutorials. The kit contained enough fabric for 2 quilts.
