Mini Quilt
#21
LOL It won't be quite this small of work but I used to make diaper bags back then and I made a quilt with this size blocks and snapped the quilt on the diaper bag from the front to the back so the quilt went over the opening and laid close to the bag. This was for a changing pad that could be unsnapped and used. I don't do the hand work like that anymore. I don't have the time it takes to do those.
Thanks I am glad you like them. I have a thing about challenging myself to do smaller and smaller things. I get bored so easily!!
Here are some hearts I make. I like to see how small I can go. The ones in the circle are give or take 1" and the one in the middle is about 3/4"
I make cloth hearts every year for valentine's day and my mom likes to give them as gifts. Plus she and I have them in wooden trays for decoration.

I am so glad you like my work. It feeds my ego!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Makes me feel good about myself that I did something right. That is the payoff for me. I tell people if I never sold another thing I would still be quilting. It feeds my soul!! I have to quilt!! It is an extension of me. I am sending out little bits of me in everything I make.
Even if noone knows who made the things I have sold- even if everything I have made falls apart - I know I have brightened someone's day and shared the beauty and that is so important to me.

Rhonda--everythime I see your work I am amazed--your workmanship is superb! :-D
I just finished some bookmarks and had an :idea: . After sewing the front and back together, I ironed on a piece of lite HeatNBond just an 1/8th to a 1/4th inch smaller than the finished piece to the wrong side of the back. Then turned the bookmark and pressed. The HNB gave a little extra body to the bookmark. Thanks for all your good ideas

It's like WunderUnder; a fusible web. HeatNBond comes in Lite and regular. I use the Lite for sew through projects and no I it's not hard to turn. I can find it in a 5 yard roll at Walmart.
I downloaded my first pics--not bad for this Luddite--just hope they have come up correctly!--Keychain and bookmark are in the subject.
