David's first sewing project

David made this travel pillow for the car before his last trip home. He sent me a picture last night of two others that he made. He is getting really good at making a nice closure seam. He sent me a picture and asked if I could see where he closed it....hahaha. He is hooked!

I'm a girly girl

I'm working on making a girly shirt out of this man's work shirt.  I don't have anything on the front yet.  I'll post more pictures as I progress.

I'm changing the title

In case you haven't noticed, I changed the title of our blog to "Liz's Legacy".   Way back when, this blog was started by me, Kim, and Candi as a way to have a sister's show and tell.  But since then, the contributors of the blog has grown to include many who are not our sisters.

Liz was a nickname lovingly given to our mom when she started her own business in the Toll Painting world.  She was an exceptional crafter, and we often talk about how those of us who are her descendants inherited her creativity.  We are now renaming our crafting website in her honor and memory.

But we still feel like we are all sisters!

I bought the double diamond ruler on the shop hop that Sharon, Krisha and I went on in West VA. I finally decided to make the wall hanging that came with the set as it goes so well with my room which is done in Southwest theme. ANYWAY here it is

Reversable Poncho




I made a few of these infant/baby ponchos, then decided to venture out on my own and see if I could make a reversable version. I love the way it turned out. There is not a lace, but a snap at the neck, and the faux lace with pom poms loops around the snap, so it is removable if the parent does not want that. It is made of fleece and jersey knit.

What I have been up to

I finally finished the wavy flag kit that Candi gave me.










And Today I made this shopping bag from a pattern I saw when Sharon, Candi and I went to Parkersburg for embroidery club.
