Seam Treatment Book




This is the seam treatment book cover I made for the chinese auction at the CQI retreat. Laurie B. ended up with it! The book is a hard covered notebook with graph paper inside.

Lace Book Worm


How do you like my little book worm? I made it in class the other day at Rocky Mountain Crazy Quilter's meeting. I made a mistake that I won't point out (if you can't see it, it's not there!) -- besides, it just gives him character and keeps me humble!
