Snowman - Casserole Cover

This was such a fun project. Embroidered and little white buttons. 10" x 12"....This will go in my Black/White kitchen in the winter. cute...cute!!!

This is a casserole cover to hold those large 9" x 12" pans you want to carry. Just recently I was headed to a quilt gathering and I had a hot gingerbread in a 'round' casserole holder. Well, you know what happened when I got out of the car. It went crashing down on the driveway pavement and broke into many pieces and of course, I slivered a finger that bled and bled and I was near tears. I decided that I would make a cover and that would not happen again. So I found this wonderful 'rooster fabric' and lo and behold here it is. Now I can safely transport that large glass dish. It was quick and easy to make. I cross-hatched it with stitching first with warm and natural and then cut it out.

A very popular 'show and tell' was the quilt holder by Bev. It is done with approx 23 2 1/2" strips and it opens up with ties on the sides.Really neat idea and probably will be a workshop next year.

Here it Is!!

This is my third and final entry for tonight.

People have been asking to see my new 'black/white kitchen....my hubby went out of town for 4 days so I got 'paint happy'...still have more to do but will get it done eventually. I really like it.

I have a long kitchen (26' x 11') and this breaks it up.

These are similar to the curtains I had before. I redesigned them.

Of course I would have a pile of something on the table..(smile)

Sassy Snappy Purse

This was a fun project that we did at Casey Quilters last week. This 'Sassy Snappy Purse' designed by Barb D of Pleasant Pond Studios. Handles are removable and so you can have lots of different designs. Simple to make with Fat quarters and a handle from Hobby & Land. They can be fancy, fun etc. We all were very pleased with our particular one.

This is my design. I carried it this week and had many positive remarks. It certainly was a conversational piece. I intend to make many more.

Winters Medley 2010

Our local chapter Tacoma had block drawings each month. I won the January ones and have finally finished them. They were all different sizes so it took awhile to figure out what I was going to do. This is the final product designed and quilted by me. Sue B design
