"Avonlea"

A companion piece for "Anthony" and "Kristen."

Stardust - "Bonnie"

This piece was requested for my cousin, who reportedly likes "angels and country churches."  The church was entirely handmade of felt, except for the Vintaj brass accents.  The stained glass was made with seed beads.  The angel was a button, and the spray of stardust was made with individually stitched seed beads, matching the original pattern of the fabric.  Some were reflective and other clear to give it a slight shimmery effect.  The lining is cotton quilting fabric.

Austen I - "Amy"

This commission required that I combine three loves of Jane Austen, music, and the color sky blue.  The master design is a needlepoint rendering of the musical notation of Adeste Fidelis in Gregorian chant.  The crest is decorated with tassels and satin covered buttons.

Highlander x2 - "Anthony" and "Kristen"

This request was for the "Highlander" design, but full-sized and with name tags.  The linings were also changed to Christmas cotton quilting fabric, one with poinsettias and the other with snowflakes.

Peppermint Riot ~ $35

Made of an ivory cotton blend fabric with a red satin lining, a combination of several different ribbons and trims, sixteen tassels, eight small red bows with faux pearls, and eight handmade lampwork glass peppermint beads.

Blue Countess ~ $20 (SOLD)

This was a relatively simple design, made of blue lace over blue crushed velvet with a sort of choker design at the top.  It is approximately 14" long with a blue satin lining.

First Frost ~ $25

First Frost is made of the ever-popular ivory cotton blend damask.  It is approximately 14" long with a silver satin lining.  It is decorated with glass beads in crystal and teardrop shapes, white Swarovski crystals, seed beads, and one clear plastic snowflake.

A matching name tag can be made if desired.

Highlander ~ $40

Highlander is made of a light cotton plaid with a few red and green sparkle threads running through it.  It is approximately 14" long with a red satin lining.  Decorated with small silver-tone jingle bells, glass seed beads and a plastic dog button.  It was an experiment with a more whimsical buckle design.

A matching name tag can be made if desired.

Starry Night ~ $30

Starry Night is a simple design, approximately 14" long, made of a sturdy cotton blend.   The lining is made of pale gold textured satin.  I'm not sure why it has a pink tinge in the pictures.  It looks better in person, trust me.

A matching name tag can be created if desired.

First Stocking

This was my first attempt to recreate the traditional family stocking design for my husband.  It is approximately 20" long, made of royal purple/burgundy velvet with gold accent trim and white satin lining.

The details were tailored more to his interests than the Christmas season.

The Austrian Imperial eagle, made of felt, ribbon, and glass seed beads.

Beer stein with holly sprig, also made of felt and glass beads.

The crown of Charlemagne, made of double-thickness felt (for depth) and glass seed beads.  

And a bag of coal, just for fun.
