Of Dragons and Kings

A hand painted dragon will become a nunchaku case for George's BD. I'm just going to add a little relief quilting and then make a long skinny draw string bag with it and line with wool felt.

The Dragon Slayer... a project for an upcoming swap... running a little behind as usual. Next up will be a Gees Bend mini swap.

... And King Carl, modeling the Fort Hudson Employee of the Year outfit.

Shower Away!


The shower curtain is finally done... and mailed away. Can't wait to see it in her bathroom!

I used buttonholes this time instead of grommets. I wanted to try my hand (and new machine) at something new.


And, here's the ball of yard... it finally turned into a hat...


A little pillow for a quick birthday gift last weekend...
And now, time to get busy on 4 mini quilts for the 6-12" mini quilt swap!

Mr. Q in the Kitchen

Not a hat...

There's just no way that this can ever become anything that would fit a head... thinking (after 4 x's working and ripping out again) that there's some "dec sc's" missing. the pattern has a mistake... The ball of yarn has maybe one more life in it, so i'm cutting my losses and trying a different pattern from the book!

A break from crafting...

Stopping to take a break from quilting and such to help Mr. Q build a workbench... about time we did a little organizing in that garage!

Making space...

Mr. Q's drill bites the dust...
Off to Lowe's for a new one...

apparently, green drills work better...
