Quilted Coasters

Posted by Jen on Monday Feb 28, 2011 Under Sewing

These are some coasters I made for my first quilting project.  I learned how to quilt through watching You Tube videos.  It was a bit difficult at first, but I have since enjoyed it and plan to quilt several more items.

Each bear is designed specially for its new home.  Custom colors, sizes, and accessories such as sweaters, hats, and blankets are also available.  These take 1-2 weeks to make so please take this into consideration if you are ordering one.  I also sell my bear patterns and bear kits upon request.  Please contact me with any questions you may have.

Woven Quilt

Posted by Jen on Tuesday Feb 17, 2009 Under Sewing

I have no idea how to quilt, so this is my humble attempt at doing so.  I have sewn squares together to make throws and such, but I wanted something a little more in depth.  I came across a bunch of fabric that my MIL didn’t want any more and I wanted to put it to good use.  I took strips and I hand sewn them together after weaving them in and out of each other and pinning a LOT.   This took more time than I think taking a proper quilting class would have taken because where all the sections meet are sewn by hand.  We are all too scared to put this in the wash as we think that it may fall apart, so it is just a decoration for now.

Sling Purse

Posted by Jen on Tuesday Feb 17, 2009 Under Sewing

This is a purse that I have wanted for a long time.  Hubbs helped me to design the pattern.  There is a lot of hand sewing that goes into it, but well worth the time and effort.  I would like to make another smaller later on.
