Six years ago, I fell and broke my left wrist rather badly, but the surgeon put in a plate and 8 screws in it and I was able to get back to my quilting pretty quickly. SO, I took the hard copies of the Xrays that he gave me and printed them on fabric and quilted him a wall hanging. I told him because of what HE did, I could get back to what I do. He said he had never received anything like it!

Snow White and the dwarf are so lovely! And what a good job on the costumes. I had to make a Superman outfit for my 18 yr old son - fine, but he was built like a stick of celery!! A lot of padding!!!

A friend recently asked me to make a functional bag for her mother in a care home. She wanted it to fasten onto the zimmer frame, as the only ones available were made of net and things kept falling out. It worked so well, all the other ladies wanted them!

Talking with the ladies in Chat today I was reminded of one of mine. When mama was sick (cancer) she had a port~o~potty for bedside use, but the metal bars were cold and the seat was very hard. the back was to far back. The foot rails hurt her feet. i went to local Alco store and bought 3 inch yellow foam and 8 yards of polar fleece. Dad made a wooden inset to make it sturdier then we covered every possible surface with thick foam and soft polar fleece. on the arms i used a knot and knotted fleece around it. by the time we were done she had the softest, warmest port~o~potty around. When the lid was down many visitors sat on it to talk with her.

Stethescope covers.....I loved them, but a little girl was VERY upset when she saw me wearing one with ants printed on it. Also yard stick holders and a cover for the grill on my father's boat.

I would LOVE the pattern for the surgical hats. I recently started work in a dental office at the front desk (completely different field for me & I'm 55) and would dearly love to make a bunch of these as little 'thank you's' for all the folks that have made my transition to the new job so much easier. Please, please share with us? Deb

I took a 2-day workshop with Ann St. Clair on fitting and making your own bras. Excellent! She specializes in bras to fit women who have had breast surgery/reconstruction; although I have not had such surgery, 15 of the 45 women who registered had, and they were thrilled with the results. Everyone else just hated the fit of their bras, shopping for them, paying for them (!!! - I now make bras that FIT for $10 each with top notch materials), you name it, and everyone - EVERYONE - went home with a finished bra that fit!!!
