A ragged edge bull's eye made almost totally from sewing themed materials. I originally learned this as a split bull's eye (cut each square into quarters and sew with 'new' friends) but we liked the material so much we decided not to split them up. Circles are hand-cut (no template) and the 'back' part cut out so the thickness

made out of a charm pack (plus a few) from the "mama said sew" collection. Fun for the first try with the template and using my new quilting machine!
-
made with 1 set of a jelly roll (plus the extra for an outside border and binding. Backed in Minky for a super-soft & cuddly quilt. Quick & easy to make; it took more time to iron the seams than anything else.

dear Hubby got an iPad for his 35th anniversary gift from his company. Couldn't BELIEVE the prices for covers in the stores, so I found this one (chicaandjo.com) and made it up with a leather-look mat'l and used foam board on the inside. Super-easy to make!

a project I'd wanted to try - a package of layer cakes (flannel) plus a few extra flannel pieces that I had. I didn't use any batting, since it is also flannel backed. 1/2-inch seams (that was hardest to remember) and all seams 'up', then clipped for that raggedy look. Cut the 10-in squares into 8-inch squares for a better size.

great fun and pretty easy to make; I used 3 magnetic snaps instead of velcro (pattern calls for either). Also used wof for handles rather than piecing them.

the large tree took 84 yo-yo's, using the middle size circle of the yo-yo maker, OR if you're making without that template, I used 4-1/2 inch squares. These are on the styrofoam forms typically found in the floral dept. I used what was their biggest and middle size. The angel tree-toppers came from the dollar store. I also used a piece of mat'l

the pieces can be purchased - they come pre-cut with iron-on to add to your own material choice. I sewed down the black (just don't trust the iron on to stay), then shadow quilted using invisible thread. Added a few embellishments on haloes, stars and kings. Made bias tape binding (so it would like nice around the top curve). Also used floral wiring

the last of 4 Courthouse Steps quilts I did for my two God-sons kidlets. The 4 quilts used material from their great-grandmother, their grandmother and me.

I saw this at one of my favorite quilt shops and thought, "Wow, what a great idea!" So of course, I bought another tote pattern. I choose to make the large one (pattern comes with 3 pattern sizes). Once I understood the directions, it went together quickly. Used up material a friend sent from Germany, so it will be a reminder.
