For creating all those "other" things I sew enjoy doing. I need to move things out of my other blogs, to clean them up and sort things out a bit better.This blog is for all the sewn crafts that end with a knotted thread.

Mackinsey-Childs style chairs
I wanted to redo the chair seats on these two doll chairs for some time.
Then I stumbled across the Mackinsey-childs web site. I had gotten they catalog
and love the style that they did. So…. here are the two chairs in that style
Very different for me to create, but they turned out really nice.
Then I wanted to recreate a stool I saw there. So here it is and I call it a "Tuffet".
These are for my larger dolls, they are not miniature .
Too cute!

My Little Witchy-poo
This is her little suitcase to care her overnight things, for when flying isn't a good thing. It's made out of a Nut pod, and there is a zipper across the orange top edge. She is quite the little dress up cutie.
I like these little dolls and have a number of them I made a few years back. I decided to make up one for myself as a Halloween decoration. Here is how she turned out.

The Flannel Quilt
My first and only quilt made entirely of flannel is done. I had to add prairie points and that has taken me awhile. I found a new way of doing them that added piping around the binding, and it really turned out nice. So take a look and see what you think. I still have the pillow shams and window valences to do yet, but the quilt is so nice I may make another flannel one some time in the future when I find the right kind of flannel.
This has been quilted with pumpkins and vine leaves.
And these are my quilt weights. Like paper weights, but they keep the quilt in place instead. lol. Taffy and Mischief.

I don't know if you can see the quilting or not, but there are pumpkins and leaves.

And it's Framed!
At long last the piece I did for my Dad is framed and I will be taking it over to him soon. These are Matin Marauders. My father was a bombardier in WW11. So I wanted to do something special for him and so this piece was created.I have never done anything like it before. It is 38" x 45" and done entirely of fabric. The frame is perfect as it looks like rivets around the outside edge. A one of a kind. Called

The Cat's Meow
I finished another quilt top, and this one is so colorful and playful with it's cat theme, you just have to smile. It will go to my machine quilter next month, when I pick up my flannel quilt, valences, and pillow shams.
I'm not to sure what I will be doing next, but the Glacier star I'm not ready for. lol. More than likely it will be another of the little quilts for the monthly swap. A spooky theme this time. And I know what I want to do.
So enjoy the quilt, it is the Cat's Meow!
