Cases for Smiles

These are pillowcases I made for Ryan's Cases for Smiles.

A hospital experience can be terrifying and traumatic for both a child and their family. While others strive to find a cure, Ryan’s Case for Smiles helps with the stress and emotional impact of illness in the here and now. Our whimsical pillowcases give children an emotional boost, while resources and tools help families better understand and cope with the experience.

Pennant Scarf

This is a Pennant scarf. I started with only a few stitches and increased every 6 stitches to get the  wide length. I made this for a good friend's brown coat. I showed it to her and she said it would still look good with her burgundy coat. I hope she enjoys it.

Gift for Mom

My mom, aged 92, asked for a scarf to go with her dark purple coat. This is made from Lionbrand Homespun yarn using the circus colorway.

Unicorn

This pattern is from Heidi Boyd. Wool felt. Fun little critter to make.

Baby Blanket

 I knit this blanket with Premier Yarns Parfait Layers. Oh so soft! This  yarn is 100% polyester.

Texas Row by Row

My daughter is currently  living in Texas. The summer of 2017 she visited 6 quilt shops near her and got Free patterns and purchased  kits to make the rows. I sewed the quilt top and had it machine quilted. Carolyn did an awesome job! Hopefully,  when my daughter looks at this quilt which will be a wall hanging she will have good memories of her time in Texas and visiting the 6 different shops.

Chevron batik

I made this quilt during a sew along with Alyssa Thomas of Penguin & Fish. It is a Christa Watson pattern. I had saved batiks for quite a while but never really knew what to do with them. I found the perfect pattern..Christa's Charming Chevron quilt. I haven't decided how I will quilt it.
