Ipad slip case

 When the new Ipad came out, I decided to get one of the old Ipad2's at a reduced price.  I've been having fun learning to use it.  Naturally, it needed a padded case, so that it will be protected when I take it along on trips. 
I spent quite a bit of time searching the internet for a free pattern.  There are a lot of patterns out there.  I decided that I liked this one the best. It is a free pattern by Pat Bravo found here.
Instead of using 3 different fabrics as in the directions, I decided to use just 2. I am very pleased with how nice the case turned out. 
Now my Ipad has a nice cozy padded case to protect it on our travels.

Earth, Wind, and Water

My latest project is the Earth, Wind, and Water table runner.  I have had this pattern for a couple of years.  It was featured online at Quiltmaker.com.  This table runner uses the off-center pineapple block from the Great Balls of Fire quilt which appeared in Quiltmaker Sept/Oct '09. I used Dark Blue, Burgandy, Medium blue, light blue, and a white background in my version.

Log Cabin Quilt

Today I put the final border on my Log Cabin Quilt.  I've been working on it for about 3 years when we are in our 5th Wheel.  This has been my take-along project.  The blocks are tiny 3" squares with 17 pieces in each block.  There are 502 of these blocks! When I do the math on this, it adds up to 8534 pieces. 

I really enjoy looking at the fabrics because they remind me of the many friends who have given me little pieces of fabric to put into it. Only the inside border was made from yardage.  Everything else was made from pieces that were intended to be thrown away.  This photo below gives a good perspective of how small the pieces are in comparison to the quarter.
