I thought I would show you what I have been making. I made the keychain for a lady here on the board and it has been sent. Then I made the black stars checkbook cover and it was mailed.
In between putting templates together and mailing them LOL I have been working on two more orders.

This one is for 3 checkbook covers and 2 eyeglass cases and 1 hotpad. Here you see the hotpad laid out to be sewn together. These are Kansas Dugout blocks. The pattern I saw in a magazine called the quilt she made Ripples. So I tend to think of Ripples when I do this pattern. Two of the tops on the right side will be eyeglass cases and the other one is a checkbook cover. Then I have 2 more checkbook covers to do.
Tomarrow I will hopefully get the hotpad done and make the tops into the checkbooks and eyeglass case.

I lay out the blocks and then sew them into 4 patches and then sew the 4 patches together and so on til I have them all sewn together into a top.

My friend Dorothy makes the Kansas Dugouts for me and then I get to sit down and play with them. Then I make them into whatever item I need them to be.

Just don't look at the mistakes!! LOL Oh well nobody is perfect!! LOL
