A table runner to keep the bird placemats company! The birds are all headed for the birdhouse – will they all fit in it? Did I mention I’m on vacation this week? Actually a staycation, so I’ve had time to play and use some of the bird...

Here is the first thing I’ve made from the birds who have come to live in Las Vegas – placemats. My husband loves blue so I used a Moda Marbles blue for the borders. The green birds are his placemat and the pink ones are mine. Next is a table...

I am the comfort quilt coordinator for our guild, and we put together fabric kits for our members to make charity quilts. I am always on the lookout for simple patterns which utilize the donated fabric we receive. One of my favorite sources of fabric are the sales samples which a local fabric representative gives us at the end...
