Penny Rugs and Pillows By Marianne Michaels

Here are some more of the beautiful projects that Marianne Michaels has made.  She is very talented, especilly when working with wool.  She dyes the wool too.  If you are interested in any of the projects please check out Corn Wagon Quilt shop in Springville, Utah.  She has been working there for years and I am sure they will be more than willing to help you out.  The staff there is so friendly and the stuff they have makes you want to buy it all.  They send out great emails so you may want to be on their email list.  They also have a blog.

These pillows are nice.  They definitely are different styles and so cute.

This is a sewing kit.  There are better pictures further on down in this blog.

This is a penny rug because of the circles on the outer edge.

This is called wool crazy.  I think it is a Primitive Gatherings pattern.  I think it is darling.

This is the inside of the sewing kit.  It has a needle book and a pin cushion.  It is really nice.

Marianne uses quite a bit of wool thread.  They sell it at the Corn Wagon and she also like the pearl cotton like the Valdani.

This is a project she is working on now.

These are eggs.  Wouldn't you love to get one of these at Easter or any time.

I love this bird.

This is an amazing penny rug.

You thought you were done seeing all the wonderful things Marianne has done.  Don't miss out on the beautifully made rugs that she has hooked in my next post.

Dave's Bernina in Provo

These are photos of the quilt samples they have in Dave's Bernina.

I was in the area of Dave's Bernina on Center Street in Provo and decided to stop in.  I have a Bernina and love it.  I wanted to see what is new there also.  They do a lot with the embroidery machines.  My friend LaRetta has a couple of them and she uses every feature.  She loves the classes and really gathers  loads of information from the people who work there.  She mostly associates with the ones in St. George because it is closer.










I took these pictures up close of the blocks of a table runner.  They are just red and green blocks but they are quilted with the embroidery machine.  Isn't that darling?
I really wanted to show that quilting off.









These pin keeps are pretty.  I would love to own one of these.



There is a whole quilt out of flowers and this is just one block.  It is beautiful.






I was really impressed with this family tree.  I thought it was cross stitch until I got up close.


This looks like a kaleidoscope quilt.  I love it.



This is a new way to make a denim quilt.  Cut out a star in the center and place it over another piece of fabric.









This one was exquisite.  Really beautiful.

This runner was fun.



This reminds me of Dr. Who.  It is made with the embroidery machine.



The machine makes all these houses.  I do not own one so you will have to go to the store for details.

Just in time for Christmas is the gingerbread house.  I am quite impressed.  They also have a new long arm quilter.  I would love that but will continue to pay others to do my quilting for me.  Check them out and see if you would like one of their machines.  I do love mine.
