News from the Shanty

     I am extremely lucky to have 2 talented friends.  Debbie Mote designs fabrics and her house blessing, which was designed as dinner napkins, has been turned into this attractive table center piece or wall hanging by Dena Praul-Gentner of Denajean-Handmade by Design.  Debbie’s design collection can be found at www.Spoonflower.com.  Look for ddmote fabric.

I really do believe  that my soul is fed by my needle and thread!

     This Child’s vest was knitted using Vanna’s Choice Yarn.  It is amazing what a few cables can turn into.

Using pre-printed book panels, colorful and quick baby quilts can be made and given with a matching soft book.   Thse have been very popular lately.

This purse is 7″ x 10″.  Perfect for Easter.  The yellow duck has a soft feel to it and was embroidered using Lana Wool Thread by Madeira.  The purse is lined with fusible polar fleece.  There is a pocket on the back.  Fringe was added by crocheting bands from Lion Brand Fun Fur.

This Irish Blessing quilt is 15 X 52 inches.  This fabric is one of 2 fabrics for this special day- the other fabric has leprechaun hats on it.  Many coordinates are available.  The sample has been sold but the fabric is still available.

Alpine wool is new from Lion Brand.  It is 100% wool roving which is idea for garments, accessories, and felting projects.  The hat pictured here is a great project for knitters who want to learn how to knit with 2 colors.  Stop by The Shanty for a demo.
