Splendid Sampler- More Blocks

I included blocks done with my 4" hoop embroidery machine. I hadn't used it in 2 years. It does a really nice job. The close ups are of some of my favorite blocks.

Sewing machine mat

This is a quilted sewing machine mat that I made for a Secret Sister swap. We were to make something to help us be organized. The mat sits under the sewing machine and has pockets to fit treasures: thread, scissors, bobbins or whatever you may want close at hand while sewing. My secret sister loved collecting vintage sewing machines so I thought this fabric with the treadle machine would be perfect.

Charity Baby Quilt

This is a baby quilt I made for a Charity group.
Easy and fun to make.
Sorry for the picture quality. I was looking through my photos and found this and thought I would share.

Fabric Purse

While visiting my daughter last year in Colorado we stopped at numerous quilt shops to get the "Row" for the Row by Row Experience. At one of the quilting shops I saw this neat purse pattern and awesome fabric. I used a double sided fusible, In-R Form Plus, in the bottom to make the bag stand up better. The inside lining and pockets are the same material as the handle.
My Mom liked my bag so much that she asked me to make her with some fabric she had.The flap on hers has a solid color fabric and has her initials professionally embroidered.
