A few things I do
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.

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??
