I love making quilted Valentine cards and mug rugs, using walking foot quilting and trapunto techniques.  Hearts can be quilted in so many different ways.

This is one of many Valentine mug rugs that I’ve made.

What could be more fun than quilted Christmas cards?  The walking foot makes it easy, and there are so many ways to quilt a tree.

Luggage tags are one of my favorite small projects, and they are fun in so many different fabrics.  Here are a few made from Charley Harper fabrics.

Silk scraps from a men’s tie factory were used to make a wallet, zipper pouch and key fob.  The rich colors and soft fabric create spectacular pieces. The wallet was made with the Diva Wallet pattern by Sew Many Creations.

Perfectly sized for papers, notebooks or books, the lovely quilted and embroidered case keeps the contents secure. 

This large zippered bag is the right size for keeping papers and notebooks safe. The embroidery design is from Embroidery Library.

I made this for a dear son-in-law. Inside the quilted cover is a special disc-bound notebook. The embroidery design is from Embroidery Library.

Cheerful bordered hexagon pincushions were foundation pieced.

This nicely sized and weighted pincushion holds scissors, a needle book and a seam ripper along with pins.

Fun pencil cases feature two fabrics - one inside and one outside - and interesting boxed ends.

I love to make zipper bags in all sizes and shapes. The glasses cases are made with a foam base for padding.

I love fabric gift bags, in all sizes and shapes. Here is a fun tiny one, recycled in our family year after year.

A motif was cut from fabric to which a paper-back fusible had been applied. The motif was fused to a small bag, a ribbon was added, and an instantly beautiful package results!
