Jo from Tennessee made a wonderful wedding gift. Her towels could not help but be a hit--I would have loved getting these as a gift when I was married! She used the designs from the Love and Marriage set. Thoughtful AND beautiful, Jo! |

I LOVE what Susan Skuda of Knoxville, Tennessee did with the Pumpkin Patch Hunnies. What an adorable, fun shirt to wear! Good Susan doesn't live too close--I'm afraid I'd want to borrow this shirt....permanently! Great job, Susan! |
| Nadine Schneider made curtains for a little guy named Deven using the Soccer Hunnies designs. Perfect for a little boy who loves soccer! (Great for little girls, too, since Soccer Hunnies come in both boys and girls.) You could also use ready-made curtains--what a great idea to decorate that special boy's room--bet Deven loves these! | |

Carol Sorsdahl, my good friend from Washington, made these burp pads from diapers using the Duckie Delights designs. There is a little ribbon of ducks under the design and lace on each edge. Carol found the diapers were too thick in the center to use the applique fabric, so she just used the outlines! What a great idea, fast and adorable! | |

Such a
sweet dress made by Sally Chadwick of Olathe, Kansas for her granddaughter. She used the Hallelujah Hunnies designs around the skirt bottom, finishing of with a matching band of blue fabric for the hem. What little girl wouldn't love wearing this to Sunday School? Wonderful idea and great job, Sally! |

Take a peek at these two made by Margaret Robeaux of Port Sulphur, Louisiana. She used the Dancing Darlings designs as gifts for her granddaughters for their dance review. As you can see one granddaughter is blonde and the other brunette! This was Margaret's first attempt at quilting and she did a great job--she tells me she thinks she is hooked. No wonder. Those little girls now have something very special from their grandma! Click the picture to get a larger view and close the new window to come back to this page. |

Are these little outfits too cute or what? Made using the Pocket Pets and Trains, Planes and Automobiles pocket appliqués. In case you can't tell, these designs are actual little pockets. In Trains, Planes and Automobiles, the train and airplane form the front part of the pocket and, in the Scooby design, the dog's muzzle forms the front of the pocket. Kids just love that little pocket and, you could even use these for a Tooth Fairy project. Thanks go to Carol Filbeck of San Diego, California for sharing with us. What tot wouldn't love these?!!! (And their mommies, too.) Click the picture to get a larger view and close the new window to come back to this page.

Carol Tupper of Goodland, Kansas made this fabulous jacket for her 8 year old granddaughter. Her granddaughter picked the designs. What a great gift idea! Carol tells me she has made several jackets like this for sale, using Amy's Jacket pattern. It is an adult jacket so, to bring it down to a child's size, Carol bought McCall's pattern number 4220 to use as a basic pattern and re-designed it. Carol says her granddaughter really thinks she is something wearing it, and well she should! Carol says she feels pretty cool to think her granddaughter likes this stuff. Carol's mother was always sewing something for her girls when they were little, so she is having fun keeping the tradition going. If you have any questions about this great project, Carol has given permission to e-mail her: sewnutz@st-tel.net Click the picture to get a larger view and close the new window to come back to this page. |

Here is a very special dress Leslie Duran of Mc Chord AFB, Washington. The dress was made using the Over the Rainbow Appliqué designs. It was made for a charity auction to help the families affected by hurricane Charley. Their theme was "After every storm there is a rainbow... Lets help make that rainbow brighter." As it turned out, this design set was exactly what they were looking for to convey that message. In Leslie's words, "The dress was so fun, and the little angel was the sweetest touch - she really made it special!" I think Leslie is the one who is very special and this dress is about as cute as can be, not to mention the sweetie wearing it!

Jean shorts using the 4x4 size Message of Love design from the Heavently Tidbits set. This project was easy and inexpensive to do. Using a cut off pair of jeans about worn through in the knees, I embroidered the design on one side, but I left the pocket intact. The pockets are the perfect size for a cell phone, keys, cash and such and I didn't want to take away that convenience so simply tucked the pocket up during embroidery. Then I added some purchased, glue-on jewels, though you could also use sparkles with a heat wand, too. Sewed on some eyelet lace around the leg edges and those old, worn out jeans have become favorite shorts for a special little girl. Using the same idea, you could open up the legs and trim a bit, then sew across the bottom, add a strap and you would have a fun purse. I don't know about other parts of the country, but I'm seeing the young ladies around here (Southern California) toting the jean purses and have found them in some of the local stores.
