Tatted bookmark




I'm participating in a tatted bookmark exchange. Here is the bookmark that I made for Katia. It is made with Clark's size 30 threads. Both the green and the yellow threads are varigated. The pattern is Jane Eborall's Flowery SCMR Bookmark. It is approx. 1.5" x 7" plus tassel.

Tatted hearts


These little hearts are made using Betsy Evans pattern and Caron Wildflower thread, color Tropic Seas. They measure about 1.75" across. They are going to Colorado to encourage the family of Lynn H. Lynn is currently undergoing treatment for ovarian cancer.

Baby quilts


These baby quilts were finished earlier this year and are being donated this week to my guild's baby quilt project.
The pink one is backed with pink fleece. This quilt is 36" x 42" and is comprised of 2", 3" and 6" squares plus borders. I felt that the fleece would make a sufficient weight so did not use any batting.
The blue log cabin is a large reversible block with the front and back being the same. Its size is 31" x 37".
Making baby quilts is a great way to use scraps and also practice machine quilting.
