Projects I'm rather pleased with




You can't really tell from the picture, but by far the best are the little turquoise Mary Janes. Sweeeet!

Jenny's first Quilt

You may remember that last year I wrote complete instructions for how to make an easy and virtually free patchwork quilt. I'm really pleased to report that Jenny has now finished her first quilt using the instructions. Here's the photo she has sent me:



The idea behind the quilt was to scrounge fabric sample books from curtain shops, which they often give away for free, and recycle the pieces to make a simple lap quilt.

I'm really impressed by Jenny's results - the quilting lines are nice and straight, and there aren't any wrinkles. The binding looks great too. I would give Jenny an A+. She says in her email that she is starting a new quilt soon. Can't wait to see the results!

I also had an email from a teacher requesting to use my instructions in her crafting class at school. It's nice to know that I can be of some use occasionally.
