This was my first. It's a Cut it Up Sisters bag. The technique that you use can be adapted to other uses. We were given a table top mat that uses the same plastic template that would make a great Christmas gift with a matching candle for the middle.

I've never been a Smother Mother but I am having a little bit of trouble with the flying from the nest stuff. Good thing I have an interesting hobby to keep me occupied!

I like the pattern that you used for your picture, what is the name of it and where could I get it. thanks

Quilter7X I like the pattern that you used for your picture, what is the name of it and where could I get it. thanks

Quilter7X: I too love the pattern you use and would love to have a copy of it so I can make it. Would you please tell me the name so I can find the pattern and make it.

The pattern in my avi is called Center Stage put out by Pieced Tree Patterns. It's a little laminated card, around 3 1/2" X 5 1/2" with the pattern picture on one side and the directions on the other side. The patterns are simple, mostly table runners. I think they're around $3.50 each.

Hope you make some, they make great gifts! :D

Keep looking. I'm sure you will find them somewhere.

Thanks, I did!
