Sorting Through Photos

I decided today was the day I needed to sort through and organize a pile of photos!!! I ran across some finished project photos I had completed last year and totally forgot about! It was fun remembering how I did each one and maybe not so fun as I remembered the time I spent completing some of them. Here's a few I had to share! These pics were taken before I had a digital camera, so the picture is not as clear as I would like, but enjoy anyway!! :-) What would we do without technology??!!

This is a chef quilt I designed and stitched for someone as a Christmas gift. This should have taken me a few weeks to do with all the stitching and embroidery involved, but since I started it on December 16th, I finished it in 4 days (& nights :-))!!

A lady brought me 4 chef shirts and 1 pair of black and white checkered pants which I was supposed to make a full size quilt! So I added several blocks with chef embroidery designs, chef print fabric, catchy menu sayings in various shapes and chili pepper fabric with hot & spicy embroidery designs! It was fun to create; yes, even when it was 1 am!! See close-up photos here.

Hide your vacuum sweeper with a farm lady wearing a denim dress and print apron! Add a straw hat, some brown yarn for hair, buttons for eyes and draw a mouth and nose and she is complete. This took a lot of time but it was an interesting break from my normal sewing that I do. See more details here.

These snowmen are paper pieced for a wintry wall hanging. I stitched this for my aunt over a year ago. There even is a birdhouse with embroidered bluebirds fluttering above! See a close-up here.
