| This is a hand embroidered spider on a crazy block. Rather than just having 3 layers (back, batting, and pieced top) Robin added a 4th layer of a tulle-like webbing to add to the Halloween theme. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| These are 2 of the 14 pillows that were made from the clothing of Bradley James Brennan (Robin's cousin). Brad was going to be 25 in January 2002. He died in a car accident in November 2001. To help his family get thru this,as well as Robin herself, she made pillows of his shirts, his favorite football team towel and some fabrics of the team colors (gold & purple for the Vikings). This was one of the hardest things I ever had to do. I miss him so much. It helps me to know that the pillows helped our family and friends sleep at night and feel they had something to hold and hug while we cried. - Robin |

| This hand embroidered crazy pillow was inspired by an antique crazy quilt owned by one of Robin's friends. The strawberry is adorable and had to be replicated. Robin plans to teach crazy quilt embellishing soon. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| A better look at the strawberry plant shows the flower too. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Watch for more embellishing of the crazy blocks... machine embroidering, charms, appliqued silk flowers, velvet embossing, and more | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
