Storage Pods

 



These are cute storage pods.  The top three were made for my friend Carol.  I sent them to her with the mug rug I made.  Have a couple of these in my sewing room to hold odds and ends.  Have all my clips in one. 


Mug Rug

 




Made this for my friend Carol.  Bought a panel while on the Island last time with some very nice sayings.  



Wendy's Throw Quilt


 

When I was last on the Island, both Wendy and I got this pattern.  At that time I didn't realize that the blocks end up being 18 inches!!!  Made with my existing batik stash.  Just had enough of the beige to do the backing.  Actually had to look among my scraps to get the last piece.  Backing is a lovely green.  

Had a problem with the center squares.  They ended up being about 1/2 inch too big.  Must have measured wrong :(  Had to undo a couple of the blocks to get it right as I didn't clue in right away on the first block.



Christmas Log Cabin Throw Quilt

 


Bought a package of these strips a few years ago.  Finally made something out of them.  Did a throw quilt with a red fleece backing.  Will be nice to cuddle up with on cold nights around Christmas time.


Christmas Placemats

 


A set of 4 placemats.  My neighbor Dy-Anna bought a few panels and gave me one.  I needed Christmas placemats as I didn't have any.  The panel also included 4 coasters to make, but decided I didn't need them at this time - can always make them later.

Emma, Ava and Mia's Cuddle Quilts

 Made three cuddle quilts for my nephew's girls - Emma, Ava and Mia.  Each gave me their color and I went from there.  Did a disappearing nine patch for the quilts.  They are the same except for the main color.  Emma's is yellow, Ava's is purple and Mia's is blue.  The other colors are from my stash.  I think it is finally starting to go down!  LOL

Squares were cut 4".  This made for a 10" block.







Jaye's Cuddle Quilt

 


I received a package of batik layer cakes from my neighbor for my birthday.  Made my daughter in law a cuddle quilt out of it.  Pattern is tricky triangles, although it was called something else too.  Hope she gets a lot of use out of it.
