I have all these layer cakes that I rarely use so I wanted to make something with at least one pack. I looked through Jenny's past tutorials and decided the double slice would use one up nicely and fast and easy! Really liked the colors and believe my granddaughters will also. Something they can snuggle up with in the TV room/sewing room.

Falling Charms Quilt

This is the first of two identical twin quilts for my visiting granddaughter's bedrooms. Changed from full size to twin because they are at that age where they don't want to share a bed. Liked the look of the bright colors with this pattern.

Charm Xmas Tree Skirt

This is another Jenny Doan tutorial from MSQC. Large skirt that will take the place of the embarrassingly plastic one we have used for the last 5 years.

Fence Rail & Nine Patch Quilt

This is another one of Jenny Doan's tutorials I had to make. I had so many nine patches left over from the Irish Chain Quilt and the background pieces already cut that I used them to make this quilt. I only had to make the fence rail pieces and the borders. I still have so many nine patches and 6 1/2" background pieces already cut that I could probably make another one of these! Haven't quilted it yet. Waiting on the Westalee ruler foot and sampler templates to arrive so I can do something other than stitch in the ditch.

Irish Chain Quilt

Saw this tutorial from Jenny Doan of Missouri Star Quilt Company and it reminded me of a quilt from my childhood my great grandmother had on her bed. Had to make it! Although still a beginner and having problems with the stated quantity of material (had to reorder fabric) I am happy with the almost finished project. Still have to bind the quilt and quess what, I need more fabric for the binding. It has been a UFO for a couple of months and once I figure out what to do about the binding It will be complete.

Black & White Flying Geese Quilt

I love the contrast between black & white and this is the second quilt I have made using these two colors only. I decided to make the background fabric split down the middle of the quilt also. One of my guest rooms is black & white and now I have the perfect quilt for it.

Weighted Pincushion w/Scrap Bag

I saw the tutorial from Rob Appell of Man Sewing and knew I had to make one. I used some fabric I bought online (Not MSQC!) that I knew I was not going to use for quilting. It feels like outdoor fabric with some kind of stain resistant coating on it and look at the size of those polka dots! Rob used boneing around the edge of the scrap bag but made a really helpful suggestion on using strapping from warehouse packaging. I can get that every night free at work so I used it and it worked perfectly. Ordered the crushed walnut shells from MSQC and knocked it out quickly. This was my test bag so I used white thread and once it was done and I loved it I wished I had used red. Will be making one for each of my machines. I have no friends or relatives still living who sew at all so no one else to make one for as a gift. I didn't use a different fabric for the inside as Rob did but I really wanted to just see if I could make one first. Consider this a test and I love it warts and all! I am already using it by putting my clipped threads in. No that is not a nest, it is really thread garbage.

Zipper Quilt

I made this quilt for my 12 year old granddaughter. She picked the fabrics and wraps her self in it practically everyday including right before I took this picture.

Improv Tote Bag

Loved the tutorial with Jenny Doan and the Crafty Gemini. I used fabric left over from the 10 Minute Quilt Block I made. Really like the bag and that is where my scraps will be used from now on.

One Bit Two Bit Quilt

I am proud of this quilt because I got the sashing better than I ever have. Liked the feminine colors. Used red for the backing. It is for a long twin because I added extra blocks to make it so.
