Finished Projects

Things have been crazy here.  I'm not sure if it is because it is summer and we've been going to the pool almost every night or if I just have too much going on.  All I have time for is to work a little bit on a bunch of different projects.  I did finish a few and I wanted to show some final pictures.
Here is the final picture of the stepping stone for my mother-in-law.  I think she will love it.  Please don't pay any attention to all the weeds I have in my flower beds.  I'm terrible at keeping up with the weeds.

The other is some pictures of another coin purse that I made as a going away gift.  This time I used my ruffler foot on my sewing machine and did the pleat option.  I think I like the way the pleated one looks more than just the ruffle I did on the last coin purse.

Coin Purse

We have some friends that will be moving away from Texas and I wanted to make my daughter's friend a little reminder of Texas. I found this coin purse at Joann's fabric store.  I bought a bandana and cut it into strips to make a ruffle.

Then I attached the ruffle and personalized it by painting her name and the shape of Texas on it.
