This is my latest leaf bowl - one I plan to keep for myself. The Koala fabric was given to me by a dear friend who visited her family in Australia, and brought back a little piece as a souvenir for her sewing buddies. I didn't know what to do with it until I received this pattern for CQA leaves. I fussy cut it so the mommy bear was in the middle surrounded by her family - LOL. Have a good day.

More place mats! The theme is birds in the garden. The middle is the birds surrounded by green grass and flower gardens on two sides. Then the brown is the fence (or the trees) around this garden.
I got the pattern from the web Isn't Google wonderful?
  I have started to make items for our store. We will open May 24 w/e. We have a new sign, all new items, and hope to have a good year again.

Myrna's quilt

Hooray!!! The quilt is done!! I did not make the top - just quilted it by hand over the last three months. And I am  happy with the results too. Here it is:    First is an overall; second is the quilting of the side triangles, and the third is s close-up of the fuchsia block.

I finished my leaf for the CQA today. I think I will make another one for myself - I rather like it.

This is the block I made for Ellen's heart quilt at Guild. It was composed by Lauren and is not the traditional "heart",
But I like it very much. Of course I had to take one of the little blocks out - had it turned the wrong way!
