In this post, I show the process of making the quilt out of a pattern I talked about earlier: A rose and experimentation with quilting materials This is a pattern I’ve made for my mother. Prior to this one, I made an owl shoulder bag. That one went well and I got positive feedback so I…
This is a birthday present for my mother’s 55th birthday. Congratulations mom! She requested a bag made of red, yellow and green because it is going to be summer soon and I happily obliged. I love to work with bright colourful fabrics. The plan was to make her a bookbag such as the turtle or punk…
