The Sun Sets

It has been almost a year since I worked on M Designs' The Sun Sets. I forgot how pretty this design is (and the fabric it's stitched on). I might stitch on it until it's finished...

Quilter's Palette Online Class Quilt

Over the last couple of weeks, I've been taking an online class called The Quilter's Palette, offered by Annie Smith. So far, we've pieced 4 blocks, and I'm really learning a lot!

Easy Breezy Backsack

It took me two whole days, but I managed to sew this Easy Breezy Backsack (by LizzieB Cre8ive). It's so cute, you can't make just one. :)

Melissa, aka Doodle-head Hello! I'm Doodle-head, otherwise known as Melissa. It's a nickname affectionately bestowed by my wonderfully supportive husband, because of all of my hobbies. I'm always busy working on something, whether it is some form of needlework or quilting, my house, my web site... mostly though, it's some form of needlework.

I first learned how to cross stitch in 1982, in Home Ec class. Little did my teacher, Mrs. Tenpenny, know what sort of an obsession this would create.

My other needlework hobbies include quilting, crochet, beginner-knitting, bead work, and some other occasional sewing. I also love to read, play video games, watch lots of tv, listen to music, and visit with my stitchin' buddies.
