My Wife Carol's Creations

15 years ago

My wife Carol is too modest to share her creations, so I'm going to do it for her! :o) I am so proud of her, and she always motivates me to create! I LOVE MY WIFE!

Below is a baby quilt Carol made for our expected granddaughter, due around April 19th! Isn't it cool?! Our son Tyler and his wife are stationed in Italy in the Army so we won't see Holley Brielle for some time... As a side note, nmgirl (aka Sylvia) on the forum sent Carol boxes of fabric and the border and backing uses the fabric she sent! Again, thank you Sylvia! All of the other fabric are scraps from other projects!

These are letters Carol made for Olivia's room. She bought wood letters at Michaels and painted the borders a cool blue. Then, she used Mod Podge to attach scrapbook paper to the letters. Olivia loves the letters! I do too! Thanks for letting me brag about my wife! Bear Hugs! Kirk

Carol, You are a WONDERFUL quilter!!!! A few years ago I was on the kick of making pillows for nieces and nephews. But now my sewing machine and station are covered with yarn and fabric. I MAY just have to pull that area out especailly over the summer and get busy.

Congratulations on the upcoming birth of your FIRST Grandchild!!!! WOW!!!! I didn't even know Tyler was married and living in Italy!....Keep us posted when the wonderful event happens.

Love, Jules

hmmm Their is a lady who makes purses in our town,.There was a great story about how she had received a playhouse as a child.Im talkin an A frame more like a guest cottage. Anyway her kids grew and she started sewing and made a purse for her beautician. Someone saw the purse and begged her to sell it to her so she did and made another for the beautician with others begging for purses. She decided to turn her little play house into her sewing /craft room. It is still at her mom's house.She makes things for pets too. The house is so cute all gingerbready and flowers.

My Wife Bought Me a Rain Chain
Q
Comments (11)
The rain chain is so cool...Carol did well! Countrygrl, I placed it where I noticed the rain coming off the roof. We have rain gutters but at this particular section the gutter has a leak! (I keep fixing it!) Each cup in the chain is open at the bottom, and the water flows through and down. Makes a pretty sound and looks neat! (Rain chains are all different. I've seen some that are closed cups that when they fill up they overflow to the next cup.) I have one hanging at another part of our house, thinking the rain would come down there. It doesn't as the gutter is doing its job! Oh well, it looks pretty and sways in the wind! HA! :o) Karen, you made me laugh about "baking" a rain chain! :o) Kirk

My Wife's Beaded Ornament
Q
Comments (12)
Wow! Karen (aka purplemoon) was so right when she told me the people on the Holidays forum are so encouraging! Sorry I haven't posted back sooner...our computer blew up (smoking and everything! Old computer!) so we are awaiting our new computer, and I am posting this at the library! Carol used a pattern from the bead store called The Birthday Ornament. It looks like a doilie when finished and drapes over the top of the ornament. She uses clear ornaments and puts a glitter paint inside and shakes it up. My wife is so creative! I love bragging about her!!!! I'll attach a link of a few other things she has created. She's a quilter too. (Check out her quilted, raggy Christmas skirt!) Thank you for your kind words! Bear Hugs!

Carol, I have always wanted to do a quilt, but have always shied away from it. I love this quilt you have made. It is special. And the letters are sweet. I have the same ones for my Zoe, but have yet to do anything with them. Great job.

I am always in awe of your wonderful quilt creations! My grandmother quilted and I never learned the craft, but I do love looking at other's work. Your granddaughter's quilt is just lovely and I'm sure your son and DIL will treasure it! And I love Olivia's letters. Very, very cool! Thanks so much for sharing them with us!

All carol's things are wonderful! We just want to SEE!
My Grandmother quilted. I never have...
I can remember her quilting frame hanging on her porch.
It was on a pulley so she could raise it to the ceiling, and lower it.

I have always admired quilters, their patience in designing putting it together, sewing each piece so that it comes together with such artistry.
