I have been at this sewing thing for so long. Before I started quilting seriously I made dolls for my granddaughters and then of course doll clothes. Then I made a city cat and a country cat, these were about 2 feet tall and standing upright. Then after I started quilting I was making a quilt for my new step grand daughter and I found out she liked dragons so I made her a dragon. The wings of a dragon are kind of like that quilting you do when you make narrow places and then stuff them. I can't spell the word or even say it right not but you all know what I mean.

Six years ago, I broke my left wrist, pulverized the top of the radius actually. My amazing surgeon put me back together with a a titanium plate and 8 screws. Afterward, he gave me hard copy pictures of the xrays with my new hardware. So, I printed them onto fabric and made a wall hanging with the two xrays in the centers of stars. I told him because of what HE did, I could go back to doing what I did (quilting) and I had to show my appreciation. He told me he could honestly say he had never received anything like it.

Years ago my high school age daughters & a couple of friends were riding on a float for a parade & needed mouse costumes. I made them out of grey polyester that I found on sale, including a cap with mouse ears & plastic mouse nose. I put on the first finished costume to check it out, walked into the living room & scared my dog, he jumped up, & shaking ran to the bedroom to hide under the bed.

We'll make a service dog of her yet!
