Making Turkeys

Making turkeys is a two-part project, as I envision it. First I build the base, as outlined below. Then I send it on out to the recipients, to finish, using fabric paints, pipe-cleaners or their favorite fabric/art supplies. Then it's ready for a Holiday Table!


Making the 'body shape' using brown base and side colors.

Adding the head and tail, I did 2 styles

Sewing it all together, needs a face and feathers. Perfect 'kid' job!

As you can see, 2 tail types. Backing has been added and topstitched.

Holiday Project Begun

Holiday Place Mats is the current project

My next project is beginning! I will continue to update this space as I finish more. I think that I need about 60 to finish this project. They can be 'finished' as is or be decorated with fabric paint, pipe-cleaners, or small decorations found at any dollar store or Hobby Lobby kind of place! All are double sided and top-stitched.

Folk Art placemats coming along, something for everyone

Turkeys!

Holiday and Seasonal Themes

Pumpkins can be made into Jack-o-lanterns

They are all fun, and the reverse are non-seasonal

So much variety!

There's a lot of fun, and the backs make them all-year,
