I found even a name for it: " My Rainbow Flower Garden"! Very proud of me - you know I always ask YOU to name my quilts! Here it is on the floor. It measures 75''. Since I made this mini quilt a few months … [Read more...]

Not me! First, I bought a color card - just to be sure that I will … [Read more...]

New Faux Leather Bags

One for me and one for my sister Nina. The colors are even more beautiful than the ones in these pictures. Nina wanted a zipper closure. It is not hard to sew it but I like magnetic snaps more.
