Kathleen made this bishop dress for her 11th great-grandchild....

...and a little closer...so lovely!
She also smocked this Wee Care gown....
....and the smocking detail....very nice!
Speaking of Wee Care gowns...Pearl created this sweet one...
...she incorporated many techniques, including ribbon!
She also finished her smocked cupcake....
....from the top it is so cute....
....and she added beads!
Joy made created this "3D" embroidered fleece blanket....
....it would make such a wonderful gift....
....with the stuffed bunny sleeping soundly...
....a closeup....
....surrounded by stumpwork....
....and beautiful embroidery....
....and more embroidery....
....so well done....
....I love this!
She also shared this punch needle snowman pillow that she created....
Christmas will be here before we know it!!!
Joy also recommends diamond dots as a relaxing simple to do craft...
You can find kits at Michael's, Joann's and Hobby Lobby. So cool!
Katy has been weaving....
She made this hand warmer....
....here is the bottom...
....and the closeup...
She weaved this card holder....
I love the color!
She also made a blue holder....
She made this different style hand warmer....
....and a soap holder...
I am impressed!
Katy also made this tribble...
Lots of useful gift ideas!!!
Bonnie created this lavendar rolling picnic basket...
....with a bright lining and cushion inside....
....the coasters work well....
Such a great idea!
She also made this "lamby" hat and mittens....
How cute is that!!!
....and she ran into this Ottlite with magnifier....
...a different view...
...this could definitely be helpful for closeup work!
Marsha loves her flour sack towels!
This one was inspired by her last vacation....
....Left side...
....center....
....and a pineapple to finish one side...
....and on the other half....
...a sea turtle....
...and a tropical scene...makes me want to go on vacation too!
And as always, Marsha provides so many Wee Care gowns like this white on white...
....here's the closeup of the smocking....
This blue on white stands out...
....with its blue smocking and trim.
....and of course the mini Wee Care gowns...
She made this green one....
....with its smocking detail.
This green one has a different look....
...because she chose a very different smocking design....
...a sweet heart design....
This one in aqua is a little different variation...
....the color pops...
....in the smocking pattern...
....and in the subtle treatment of the hem line....
...and the sleeves.
This purple one, although similar....
....has its own uniqueness...
....in the smocking design.
....and finally, the blue one....
....with its VanDyke stitch smocking...
....which she taught us at our February meeting. Thanks Marsha!!!!
In March, we will be learning to make smocked fish....
....they look amazing....
....the grey one...
....and its detail....can't wait!!!
KEEP CREATING!!!
