Here's another horse especially for toogie. The dowel is a 1" size. You make a stuffed little round pillow that you attach to the dowel with strong thread. You can also use glue in addition to the thread. This is what is placed in the horses head af
I made these for Carmen and Jethro as a going away gift. Their family has been staying with us for the past seven months. They head out to Florida this weekend. I bought the pattern from an Etsy merchant at the link below.
My deaf-blind grandson has had a blanket since he was three when he was adopted by my daughter and son-in-law. She asked if I could salvage any of it. It was not much more than a rag. The four whitish squares with the black redwork type designs are the
Here's a mug tote of a different style. I added a pair of scissors and an awl to show the pockets for storing teabags, sugar, spoons.....

I made my sister a pillow for her birthday. The butterflies and humming bird are from Embroidery Library. The medallion type design is from my general unidentified stash.
A few projects I've been working on. Daughter and SIL have returned from 2 1/2 years in Austria and are here for an extended stay of several months, so I try to keep the grand-children supplied with items to keep them busy. I also made a cloak for Jeth
Here's the information for the Cutie who asked about when to add the poker chip to an embroidered stuffed item. You add it after the stuffing but before you sew the turn through area closed. Here are a couple of pictures to help you visualize the proc
Post Christmas wedding. A dear friend asked if I could cover a large box for gift cards for her daughter's wedding. This was the result.
