Fun blogging again!

Is it ever too late to start blogging again? I've blogged on my business blog http://www.PawsitiveStepsSeattle.com, but haven't really been sharing personal and creative things in years. Not that I have many readers, nor does that matter...I just like having a timeline of finishing projects. I don't journal, obviously, or this blogging stuff would probably be easy. Plus, with Google+ taking over, it is nice to have things linked.

I have been quite busy...lots of knitting, a little crochet, some embroidery, a bit of bunka sishu, and recently I have finally began to quilt! I have always wanted to quilt! combining embroidery with quilting...triple fun!

So much to learn! Oh my!

I made this on a chocolate brown t-shirt for a client's daughter for Christmas. I don't give many clients a gift for the holidays, but this family is special, besides I think kids in particular should get spoiled a bit at Christmas.

With the help of this particular family, or shall I say the mom who is an amazing quilter and is a great teacher,we finished this wall hanging for them.

I designed it, embroidered the pieces, and after days of working on it took it to their house and she showed me a million shortcuts on putting it together! Of course, she accomplished it in no time. Very cool!





 I am attempting to make a few more, as I'd like one for myself... but my dogs would figure out how to flip the bone so it always says "Hungry" on it! Maybe I'll even post a pattern when I perfect it. If anyone wants info on it, please leave a comment and I will happily send it to you.
