tape measure pouch

 

Yes, it’s a pouch made out of tape measures!  I have been wanting to make a little holder for my small Kindle but this Christmas present is perfect!  Our daughter works at the Luther College book store and they get the most interesting merchandise.  I love it!  I’m off the hook for making something now.

However, here’s a fun tutorial for an e-reader carrier.

Here’s a couple pictures of the quilt I’m working on.  It’s a cheater quilt we found in my sister’s closet!  I’m having lots of fun quilting different designs in the middle of each flower.  It’s hard to photograph when it’s still on the longarm, you can click the picture for a better view!

Linda's Poppies Plus

 

 

This is another large original quilt by Linda P. using poppy panels and lots of random piecing.  I love how she used multiple fabrics and pieced elements to make this quilt.  The quilting is a mixture of freehand “drawings”.  Each element has it’s own style of texture.  Enjoy the pics!

And Linda never fails to surprise me with her “everything but the kitchen sink” backs.

T-Shirt Quilts

Dave and quilt

 

Dave's T-Shirt quiltLast year, I was honored to make a surprise Christmas present for a very special person.  The t-shirts had two themes – clowning or The Hamburg Inn.  Some of the shirts were one of a kind and rare!

A t-shirt quilt is a great way to “keep” those special shirts that you can’t throw away but no longer want to wear them.

I love the shirts that are very worn or have stains on them!  Adds character!

The Burg and Clowns

Last summer, I quilted Julie’s quilt for her college bound daughter, Maggie.  She choose a BQ3 pattern to set the t-shirts, which gives it a totally different look.  The cow tail and small patches applied are a couple fun details, too!

Do you have a favorite T-Shirt quilt making method?

If you find yourself in Iowa City, IA, be sure to dine at The Hamburg Inn, it’s an experience you won’t regret or forget.  Some people walk miles to enjoy their cuisine!

Still time to enter my book giveaway, here’s the link.  🙂 Linda

Horseshoes Quilt

 

This quilt was made for a hubby who loves to play horseshoes!

The big triangles were fun to add whimsical, custom designs.  I hope he liked it!

My quilting buddy, Candace, finished another butterfly quilt for her latest granddaughter Kinsey.  The other quilts are pink, purple and yellow.  Here’s a link to their pictures.

This is a fun quilt to “quilt”!  I try to keep the same designs as the others but even with pictures and diary, each one is unique!
