Contained here are pictures mostly of sewing and quilting projects, but a few knitting and crafts too.
Lots of Prom dresses! 
Heather's wedding dress.
Jolie was the flower girl in Becky's wedding. Becky asked me to copy her dress in a size 2 for Jolie. It was beaded and sequined, with puffy sleeves and a peplum skirt.
With a team of three moms, we made 80 reversible vests for the Olympia Brown Elementary School Choir.
Robin asked me to make her a rainbow wall hanging for her brand-new dance studio, fresh out of college.
I designed this unicorn and painted it on Jolie's nursery wall. There was a cute wallpaper border below it. Right before I painted it out (and changing to a solar system theme), I thought I'd better photograph it.
Here are Sandy and me as "White Glove Ladies" at one of the Lighthouse Quilters Guild, standing in front of our entries for that year.
Although this isn't something I made, I am including it here. Luanne, Shirley, Jayne, Mom, and I and a few others got together and held a fundraiser quilt show at church open to the public on the downtown First Friday event. Over 100 people came.
When Matix was born, they lived in Arizona, and I believed that with his fair skin, he would need hats, so I made several. I had so much fun learning how to use the buckram.
And a sweater..
New floor-length bedspread and pillow shams with piping, and new valances.
Here's my antique sled decoration I put together for my front porch for winter.
Here are two of the stoles I made, one for Tony Larsen, our minister, and one for Hannah Roberts (who is REALLY TALL!)
Here's a closeup of Tony's.
And this one was made for Morgan McLean. Both of these girls grew up in our church, and later became ordained UU Ministers. Morgan wanted hers short, to wear with a skirt suit.
This is an old wood window that Louie took out of the house on 31, and I cleaned it up, painted it, and made it into a picture frame. We've added a new kid since then!
I made this little jacket and hat for Jessie with Seminole strip-piecing when Jessie was a baby.
Thirty years later, when Lullaby came, Jessie wanted to learn how to make some dresses, so we worked together on these.
This is one I made and embellished with ribbon roses and piping.
And for Alexandra. First I made this for her. I tried to showcase all the little ballerinas, but she didn't like them, or the ruffles.
So she described what she would like better, and we ended up with this. Lots of sparkly tulle, at her request!
I made this one for her later on. She wore it to her 4th birthday party.
The next 11 pictures are my creations for other members of the OBUUC Art Group project "In the Manner of," in which each person chose an artist or a style of art, and made a book or box. Then we passed these around, made them a project in our own medium, but "In the Manner of" their artist. These are my contributions:
Kandinsky Circles (96 pieces on each side.)
Blue Nude, Matisse
Joan Miró, (this was for Craig, so I made his to look like him and Tony.)
Victorian, about 3"x 6" and has 13 pieces, all velvets and satins, plus silk ribbon embroidery.
I did another tiny quilt for a lady whose theme was "Collages."
Marimekko
Illuminated Manuscripts
Lovers, Klimt
One of the members had Maps for their theme, so I did a miniature Compass Rose quilt. It's 3" square, 50 pieces, paper-pieced, hand-quilted. (She's also a quilter, so she appreciated it.)
Another member of the Art Group requested trees. So I put everyone's names in the bark.
My theme was "Jacobean Art" and this is the embroidered project I made for my own set.
This is the sheet I provided as background for my theme.
Here are several sets of pillowcases I embroidered. White on white,
I made these for Louie and me during our engagement.
These were a gift to Mom to go with the first quilt she made, green and yellow.
This was my "Reading Throne" at school, when we had an initiative to encourage parents and the community to come in and read aloud to the kids.
Fused wall-hanging Tony asked me to make for church. It hung in the sanctuary for many years. It is my design (and my hand). The hands are fused, not appliquéd.
Blue-jean cushions with raw edges exposed and frayed. Over the years I also made a few picnic blankets like this.
This is one of the picnic blankets, but it's so crooked, I really couldn't get the edges into the photo!
Here's my submission for another group art project for the (formerly OBUUC) Art Group. Our inspiration was to be fall leaves from a photo we voted on.
I made these party poppers when I went to Hawaii at Easter time in 2017. I filled them with Easter goodies. The kids had a good time with them.
These cool coasters fascinated me when I saw them, so I had to make some, of course. They can be used for stemware or any other glass.
Here's a word portrait I made on some website. I love this.
This is a paper bag book I made at one of our workshops in the Art Group in March of 2016. I made it with a fall theme, and only have it out around Thanksgiving. The kids enjoy looking at it and finding their pictures.
When I was a little girl, my Great-Aunt Lee (Lela May) gave me a set of 15 or so costume dolls from her travels to foreign countries. My Mom called them my "Look At Dolls," not for playing with like a baby doll. They were the only thing I left at home for safe-keeping when I moved away to college. Several years later when my Dad sold the house, he asked me if there was anything left there that I wanted, and I forgot all about my costume dolls and told him no. They were sold and I have regretted that ever since! It was my fault, and no one else's. In 2016 I decided that I would make my own new costume dolls, some from countries I have visited, and some to copy my memories of Auntie Lee's doll collection. Doing this is so fun, because of all the detail, but also as a solution to my mistake so many years ago. My first one was from Norway, and the rest can be seen on the dolls page here.
During the Coronavirus Pandemic in 2020, I made some masks. Jolie made a lot for her sewing business.
Not my best look! This is my COVID-19 (no-)haircut!
I made two of these Advent calendars for Jessie and Jolie to use with their children. They weren't quilted like I made for them when they were little, but in my opinion, these are better, because they are larger, and easier to find gifties to fill them. I embroidered the December dates leading up to Christmas. So fun!
I made these 5 quilted mats for the AAUW Craft Fair 2025. My friend Mary Piper made me one years ago, and I replicated hers. Then I found out it was a popular pattern in the 1980's, with many variations.
I made dozens and dozens of these Christmas tree napkins, and gave some to the kids, put some in the ADK Auction and the AAUW Craft Fair, and I have 8 for home. They are really just a half-circle.
