Handmade Crafts
Below are samples of some of the crafts I have made in the past. Some have been for clients and others I have done for myself.
​
I enjoy being creative and am always looking for new ideas to utilize my creative thinking in the projects I am working on. If there are specific needs that you have and would like help in defining your ideas, I would be happy to help!

FABRIC PLATES -
​
The fabric plates below are plain glass, non-textured, 10" round glass plates with fabric backing, called "Fabric Backed Plates".
​
They are wonderful for service finger foods or other light food appetizers. They should be be submerged in dishwater or put in the dishwasher. However, to clean them, a light soapy sponge with a warm water rinse to the front should be sufficient.

REVERSIBLE TEA COZYS -
​
The teapots I like to use are from an online store called, The English Tea Store. They sell a variety of colors which makes color coordination fun!
​
Patterns for these Teas Cozy's are available for purchase to make on your own.
​
If you prefer to have one made with fabric of your choosing, please feel free to contact me.

HANDMADE QUILTS -
​
There are two types of quilt I prefer making the most...
-
the "Rag Quilt" (far left) and,
-
the popular "T-Shirt Quilt", which makes a great gift for savoring memories.

CLIENT PROJECTS -
​
-
Re-upholstery of loveseat bench with darkened stained legs.
-
Instead of getting rid of that comfy couch, sometimes just a re-upholstering of the cushions is all it needs to add some variety to your décor.
-
If you're sports fan and like to deck out in your favorite team's colors, why not include your pet!
-
A personalized handmade tote bag can make a great gift!

HOME IMPROVEMENTS -
​
A kitchen table's chairs can be re-upholstered if the chairs are in good condition, when the fabric gets to look worn.
​
A new fabric can brighten up the set and look almost like new. Plus, you can choose a fabric color that works well with your decor.
​
Far Right: With my artistry skills, I painted wall art on a bedroom wall.
