Clover USA » Make It » 9 patch diamonds and squares abstract table center piece
9 Patch can happen in all sorts of applications...  Here is a clever use of yo yo in varied
types of fabrics to include voile & cottons with the 9 patch clusters joined with juxtaposing
the squares and diamonds...  In this case I can share what the designer was thinking (cause I
designed it)..  I keep going back to it cause I'm not over wondering if it needs 'something else'
like the sheer black used as a single round around the the whole piece.  Pond
ering!!

One thing leads to another...

filzfelt    I ran across this gem while I was looking at Martha's pages... they have a sweet felt bag showcased...

Whitney Houston ~ R.I.P ~

Whitney, your gift of song was truly something special....  Thank you for sharing...

 

I've never been one to have a care for what a celebrity thinks or does...  however...  I can't imagine going to my x-wife's funeral...  and because there isn't room for my 9 person entourage, leaving!!!  bobby brown is a real POS...

YoYoYo

My Yo Yo designs shown on the Clover Site...


The top design is from a table runner I made for Mom's dining room table off the formal living room... For this I used  rich gold, creme and burgundy satins.


the top right piece is really fun to look at and is a candle mat with a twist...


This piece to the right is pretty big and interesting.
I was considering adding and edge in one color. I enjoy using chiffon type fabric for a hint of shine and glitz- this picture doesn't do the piece and justice.  Thank you to Clover for recognizing my work!!

Bags for the Ladies who Lunch & play golf...

This was a fun project... My cousin Cher gave me a project for constructing 3 tote bags for her friends with whom she plays golf... Just a fun project, with no fuss.
Here are the final products... They were actually fun to make!!

tick tick tick ~ get hopping

You know, when you think about it, it's kind of weird writing words that you really have no idea whether any one is reading or not...  You sit in front of the p.c. spilling out your guts to who??  Maybe someone will stumble across your blog, but will they return??  There are so many amazing blogs out there...  I think it's clear though, the most successful are ones with sponsors...  sooooo  here I am sponsors....  get to know me : )...
That was fun!!

So back to the tick, tick, tick....  I love, love, love the Fab ShopHop http://www.fabshophop.com/  this link will take  you to right page...  Check out the prizes and the fun that goes on...  In February I was a winner of a bonus drawing where I won $100.00 credit at one of the HopShops....  How fun it was !!!!!
