CIVIL WAR QUILT
I cheated with this one and used a stripe fabric for the foundation and then appliqued the star with hand blanket stitch.
I have had lots of fun making these Swatch Books. The pattern is by Keyka Lou
and it's great! The blue and green ones I made for my stitching friends.
This is the one I made for myself, it's already stuffed full of fabric and patterns AND.....
my quilting calculator! Quilter's FabriCalc.
I have made a little business card wallet, pattern also by Keyka Lou. I have filled it with all of those rewards cards you seem to collect. Keyka Lou does have a great pattern for a proper Loyalty Card folder, which I will also make when I find time:-)
