    I'm attaching a few things I've made lately. You'll instantly realize that I'm trying to use up a lot of blue print scraps. These were part of my mother's stash and she died 12 years ago. Inspiration comes slowly to me.

    I started with a table runner, then placemats, then a cover for the sewing machine, then an organizer with pockets that hangs over the edge in front of the machine, then a tote bag, potholders and finally my first quilt which I finished Saturday.

    I loved making the quilt and plan to stick with small easy quilts or wall hangings for awhile. I used fleece on the back of the quilt and am very happy with it.
