"U" is for Umbrella Quiltie



The Alphabet Quiltie Swap on Fabric in Altered Arts 2 is nearing the end.  The letter for March is "U".  Penny our hostess selected the theme -Umbrella.  I found this fabric in my stash and added the geisha embroidery and a butterfly charm.  The embroidery design is from Hatched in Africa Designs.  They have some lovely oriental designs.  I was lunch enough to meet Santi at a workshop at Mulqueens here in Mesa a few years ago.  Such a lovely lady. They are based in South Africa.  If you have an embroidery machine, you might like to check out their designs.

Salsa Themed Kitchen Towels


These kitchen towels were made for my college roommate's birthday this month.  I made these "Salsa" themed kitchen towels using my Janome 11000.  The wonderful machine applique design is from Hatched in Africa.  The towels were purchased on a shopping trip to CA and were prefect for the Salsa towels. 

I also made fall leaves with my embroidery machine this past week.  I'll post pictures later.
