Humane Society Quilts For Dogs and Cats

It is my heart's delight to be able to sew.  It is my happy spot in life, sewing this n' that, sometimes just to sew up some pretty fabric, many times to sew something special for family or friends to make them smile, and many many times to sew up to donate.  I sew a lot for Lanette Veres, http://www.graymattersfoundation.org/, and I love to sew up little quilts for the dogs and cats at the local Humane Society.  I can use up scraps of fabric, and they do not care if the quilt is precise or fabric coordinated.  Here are some recent quilts for those fur babies.

More to come... I am working on five right now and hope to drop those off this coming week.  Concrete floors are cold, the kennels are distressing, it is heartbreaking for sweet pups and cats to wait patiently for a forever home.  Adopt.  Please adopt...!!!!! 

misc stuff

More sewing stuff that keeps me busy.  

Below are various totes which are made mostly with scrap fabrics from larger projects.

 These are zipper purses which are mega-fun to make. This project is done on my embroidery machine and a process called "in the hoop"  ...The entire purse is done in the hoop and when it is finished the only thing I need to do is tear away the stabilizer and add a little charm to the zipper pull.  You can also see a little stack of "Bulldogs" made of felt and made into key rings.  In the hoop as well.
