Child's patchwork bag. An ITH experiment to see what I could fit into my 8 x 8 hoop. All made in one hooping (except the handle.)

This is Ed bear (or is he a mouse?) He is a development from my baby doll design as suggested by Beth (dionnahawkins).

Its a girl after all! I thought the baby was a boy but then I had the idea for this cute little dress. The fabric is cut on the bias which adds a certain je ne sais quois.

I've been having another look through the Secret Santa pictures and I have realised that we fall into two categories. We are either turned on by fabric or by thread. So, if you had to choose, which would it be? I'll start by saying fabric.

ITH case for Mike's Nintendo DS - Mike drew the cartoon rabbit for me to digitise. I made three different expressions and used the design on this ITH case (which was a freebie from Sew Forum.)

Improved baby. I decided the head was too small on version 1 so I redid it and added some "hair" (also on the back). And yes, there is also a navel! Time to stop now.

Secret Santa is no more! I have made an executive decision and the scheme will be known as The Cute Secret Sisterhood from now on. Shirlene started using that expression the other day and I think it is brilliant as well as apt. We have just three gi

I couldn't resist one more doll. This makes four this week! This one is jointed and posable and fits in the 5 x 7 hoop. I'm not sure how to do the hair so any suggestions are welcome - somehow woolly plaits or bunches won't quite work.

Dolly now has clothes. This is my first attempt at a dress made in the hoop. I'm quite pleased with it although it could do with being a tad bigger. I hand stitched the felt shoes to match. (The dress was a bit plain so I added the little flowers which a

Another in the hoop rag doll. I managed to digitise my own face this time and fiddled with the outline to make the arms longer. Now I think the feet are too big and the arms are too thin! My family is growing by trial and error. I hope my next attempt wil

African memories. The photographs were taken on a holiday in East Africa (10 years ago). I printed them using the bubblejet 2000 method and the printed fabrics came from South Africa via the Birmingham Quilt Show (Thanks Caroline!)The finished product is

In the hoop rag doll. This is my first attempt at digitising (I had Embird for Christmas). I was in a hurry to test the design so I used a face I already had. It is a bit out of proportion so I'm off back to the drawing board.
