Cute Dolls for Charity

I had these started quite some time ago but was waiting to get some fabric pens to do the faces with. These will be going to Relief Share which is asking for soft toys. But.....only after I knit a few woven balls. I'm thinking maybe 6 of them.

Self-mitered Log Cabin


This baby is paper pieced. And what a lot of paper tearing off! This is pretty big; I think I'll keep it for myself and put it on my bed when the set of RED sheets get here from Amazon. Gotta love that one-click shopping.
This is from a book by Anita Solomon Grossman or is it Anita Grossman Solomon. The strips are 1 1/2" and I really like it. It's so scrappy, just what I love.

Disappearing 4-Patch, back and front

 This is UFO finish #3 for 2013 although this project doesn't have much age to it. Think I started it in December.
The squares in the 4-patch measured either 7 or 7 1/2", can't remember which, then sliced both ways 1 1/2" away from center seam. Instructions for a smaller block are on the Missouri Star Quilt Co. website.




On to work on the next UFO.

First 2 Finishes of 2013 Yes!


These 2 HeartStrings tops have been waiting since sometime last summer to get finished. I quilted them a couple of weeks ago and did the binding today. I'm working on more blocks and hopefully they will be finished sooner rather than later.

Finally...............a quilt finish


This quilt top is over a year old. I went a little overboard cutting bricks so I've been able to make several of these quilts. One more and I'll be done with the Bricks and Stepping Stones.
This is a Bonnie Hunter pattern except I think she used 2" squares instead of the 2 1/2" that I have used.

Zipper Purses Done

Here are some of the dozen zipper purses I finished today. I like that they are lined and there are no raw seams on the inside.

Hey, Second Post in One Day

 11 recycled books. I did as many as I felt like cutting pages for. The covers measure 4" x 4", the pages are 3 13/16" square. The neat gadget that punches the holes and then bends the wires closed is a Bind it All.
