Quilted Cosmetic Bags


I needed to make something to put in a raffle basket so I found 
the tutorial from Crafty Gemini to make these cosmetic bags. They 
were pretty easy to make and the tutorial is very good. 


I made them with grey tones so they will hopefully appeal to more people.



I used a fleur di lis design for the lining of both bags.


I think I am going to make some for myself now!

Windows


I have another charity quilt for our local crisis center.
I went a little modern with this one, I think it looks 
like  a row of windows.


I did straight line quilting on this quilt.


I think it looks pretty good on my old metal lawn chair.

Abstract


This is my attempt at an abstract quilt, I think it turned out well
 but I want to continue to try even more abstract quilts soon. 


I had this orange material that looks very 60's to me 
so I thought it had to go on the back. This quilt makes 
me think of a Dreamsicle.


You can see I have two different colors on my binding.
 I wanted white on the back and orange on the front. 


I cut the orange material 1 inch and the white 
material 2 inches and sewed them together. That gave me a 
2 1/2 inch binding. It is very easy and looks nice too.
