This is a Hussif I made

This is a Hussif I made in a class with Gloria Mc Kinnon from Australia on one of her visits to the US. This class was where I learned to make a husif and I have made 7 of them. It is so much fun to chose the fabric and all the colors of thread to make them.  Embellishing the outside is almost as much fun as the inside.

This is the inside of the husif, where there is a spot for scissors, a tape measure, a thimble pocket a pincushion and a needle keeper.  This was all made in brazilian embroidery and  done by hand except for the quilting on the bottom piece.

This painting of a ballerina

This painting of a ballerina was painted in oils about 20 years ago. I found a greeting card with this beautiful ballerina and so I painted her,  I love ballerina’s and the graceful way they dance is beautiful. I never signed her could never figure out what  name I wanted to use.


This second ballerina was also done in oils but much more colorful than the one above, this one also was done about 20 years ago, this one also remains unsigned.
