This is the last post for today. I finished a mitten block swap and mailed out all my blocks. Here is a picture of a few extra ones I made for my quilt. I think this will make the cutest quilt, don't you?




Towel Swap

I have been involved in a year long tea-towel swap. The guideslines are to use a tea-towel, either decorated or used to make something. The ideas have been wonderful. I've received the cutest apron,







a purse and towels decorated to use or display. I've made placemats with attached napkin holder and napkin,






a casserole carrier, and some just decorated.



This has been a great swap!

Travel Trays

If you have not seen this cute idea before, you are about to fall in love. These gems are quick to make and fun to take. This picture is one I made for a friend for her birthday. Of course, she sings "lead" in barbershop style singing in a Sweet Adelines Chorus is Ft. Worth hence the design.









This picture shows the tray unsnapped and flat for easy packing in your suitcase. When you get to your hotel room, just snap together for a convenient tray to put your room key, watch, cell phone, etc in. Makes keeping track of those items so easy.











I also included in her gift this matching tissue holder and ID wallet.
