I've created many Bowl Cozies; and I love sewing. These are made with 100% cotton fabrics, cotton batting and cotton threads.

++Great for holding popcorn, candy, nuts, a bowl of cold ice cream, a bowl of warm soup and more.
Machine washable and dryable.

These make GREAT Christmas gifts; and are practical for any time of the year.

 

I added the hanging tab for your convenience.

 

 

 

My fingers were itching to applique. 

It won't be long 'till hearts will flutter for each other, again.

Do you ever get that itch to apply one pretty fabric atop another?

I created the heart template {not shown here} from an old box.

The red background squares are 10 1/2 inches.

 

I h a n d - a p p l i q u e d  the hearts utilizing the needle-turn applique method.

I decided to get ahead of the 'season' and create a few fun blocks.

++ A quilt that I made for my grand-daughter. ++

  

She wanted random quarter moons spread across the quilt.

 

 

I drew a pattern, then cut and hand appliqued the moons.

 Christmas Trees -  Quilt Blocks

 

 

Apprx. 11 1/4 x 9 1/2 inches each.

I enjoyed making these.

 

 

These were first hand-appliqued, and then top-stitched

 

The backs aren't messy at all.

 

The trees are embellished with buttons and red ribbons.

 

No two trees are alike.

 

Aren't these lovely?

 

 

Did the one above fall - over, or what??

 

 

Notice the variance in some of the background fabrics, as well.

 

Have trees, year-round !!!
