Travel Art Folio



Travel Art Folio ...a good place for a young child to keep colored pencils, scissors, glue stick, colors, paper  to bring along while traveling or while watching sports events.

Splendid Sampler

My version of the Splendid Sampler took over a year to complete. I received 2 Free patterns for 6 1/2" blocks 2 times a week for a year. I didn't use all the patterns but added some  hand and machine embroidery and other pieced blocks.
I had collected purple and green fabrics for a few years and finally used some of them. I will wait a little while before I make another purple and green quilt.
I entered this in our local county fair and was pleased to receive not only a blue ribbon but an Award of Merit (yellow ribbon).

White Mystery




This is a Mystery Quilt. It has 14 open blocks along the outside of the quilt. I had not done  hand quilting before and realized this was the perfect project to try it. I found hand quilting very relaxing.
