    Wow! You are a clever lady! They are all great but I especially love the nativity tree skirt (just adorable), the bible cover (how precious), the boot ornaments are so cute and the tote bag and handbags and jumper are all great too! Wow, I just love it all. I would stitch in the ditch w/the bow tie quilt. Have a couple hundred neckties from the family have been saving to do a quilt on the "to do" list that there's not enough time to do it all but will get to some on the list. lol. ;) :D ;) :thumbup:

    Really like the use of the ties in the Bow Tie Quilt and you certainly make good the recycling bit. Y When I thing of all the stuff that I throw away....well, now where would I put those items until I can get around to them? You do great work.
