Metro Hoops

My Metro Hoops Quilt made with the quick curve ruler

 and using True colors by Heather Bailey. I was a little nervous to

 start cutting with the ruler but it wasn't bad once I got up the nerve.

My friend Joy did the quilting for me, Love how it turned out!

Jiffy and Grocery Bags

I had to do a bag demo for my quilt guild, so I needed a simple pattern.

 I found this free Jiffy tote pdf pattern. I made the 24" and the 40". 

you use 2 square pieces of fabric and a piece of batting, 

the way it is folded makes simple pockets on the inside. 

These grocery bags were made for my daughter so she would give mine back to me.

 These bags  are great for groceries!

 They hold a lot and I finished all the inside edges so they can be washed. 

I have made many of these bags using this pattern from Joann's (utility market tote)

Boy and Girl Shriner's

For a program at our quilt guild we colored some

 panels that had embroidered pictures of boys and girls.

I put them in a simple layout with a frame of color.

These will be going to Shriners Hospital.

Evan's Lizards

This quilt was made for the newest member of our family, Evan.

What little boy doesn't like lizards.
