Sassy Purses

Sassy Purses
I have made eight of these purses for family and myself. The pink one is for a friend...she saw it... like it and asked me to make one for her. She picked out her own fabrics. The handles have screws on the ends so you can make several and just change the handle. The pattern is very easy and they come out so good. It was designed by Barb D.

Funky Folk Flowers

This is a class I took with Busy Thimble over 10 years ago. I had finished 8 blocks. This was a learning experience in learning 'how to ' do freezer paper needle-turn applique. The center blocks are 8" and 1 1/2" border. This was designed by Susan L. Powell 1998/99. I really stretched myself as far as choosing colors. The idea was funky folk.....I really am glad it is done and really like the result.

March BOM, panel, wall hanging

I have been busy the fist part of the month ...This Mini Wall Hanging is the third in a series of 12 offered FREE by  www.countryjunktion.com. I used  freezer paper and needle turn applique....machine quilted....also different colors for the clovers and gold buttons. 
 This is a kit from Keepsake Quilting in NH. I like to name my quilts and this is "Wild Animal Kingdom". It is machine quilted and bound.






















I named this one 'Bird of a Feather". I found wonderful fabrics with cardinals on a shop hop with my quilt group last year. Pattern is from Fons and Porter-Love of Quilting Nov/Dec. 2011. 18" x 52". I used various quilting designs on it. The colors and depth of it do not show up very well. It was a fun one for me to do.
