About Me:: I love fiber arts of all sorts! I like learning new things and experimenting with new fibers and techniques.

A few things I do

I took these pictures of this squirrel retrieving a peach which had fallen on our side of the fence. As he started across the fence to the tree he dropped the peach but caught it just in time and I snapped this photo of him.

This is a wall quilt I made from pictures of my Grandmother along with all her mementos, hankies, lace, old buttons & jewelry.

A quilted jacket I made for me!!

This is Ragnor the troll doll I made last winter. He is anxiously awaiting his mate, but...........I just haven't gotten around to creating her YET!! He is getting lonely so I must get busy.

I haven't been very good at blogging lately. I got a new Janome 6600 machine and I've been bonding with it. I think it's awesome and just about have it figured out. I've been taking classes on all the bells & whistles and how to properly use them to their maximum extent.

I've loaded some more pictures some of recent projects and others done a few years back.

I took the doodle class with Susan @ Joggles but it just doesn't seem to be my "thing". I'm hoping it's just "now" tha

At 11:03am on October 19, 2007, Patsy said…: No Gunnel nor Eva are relatives!! The yarn around the neck of the jacket is actually a knit scarf. Also super simple to make. You take one strand of thin yarn like mohair, one strand of ribbon yarn, and one of ladderback yarn/ribbon, knit five stitches on size 15 needle when you get to the end take the 3 yarns and measure 3" fold back to the needle and tie a knot,pick up the yarns & continue to purl across to the other side,measure 3" again, fold back and tie a knot. It rolls into it's self and makes a scarf.

The jacket sounds great! I may have to try it. Thanks for the directions. You have a lot of yarn or threads or something at the neckline. Was that easy??

At 9:25am on October 19, 2007, Judy Carpenter said…: Where do your Swedish relatives live Patsy? Mine are in the Bastad area. My Swedish cousin Eva also has a blog. You MADE your jacket? I misunderstood and thought it was a gift. It is so lovely!!!
