Halloween table runner for Julia

I followed a simple quilting pattern for this one.  I edged it with black lace after I took the photos so that doesn't show.  She can use the leaf side all through autumn and turn it over for October.





Paper Feathers

I followed a web tutorial to make wonderful feathers from sheet music and text paper.  I got the music and a huge old dictionary at Goodwill - just another way to recycle it.  I made feathers for brother Bob for his birthday, Nat for our anniversary, and am making more for Debbie L.


Aren't these pretty?


Keely's Spy bag

Keely asked me for a bag to carry here special "spy equipment."  I used a child backpack pattern and used a silvery bat fabric.  It was fun!

  This is the front.  It has a pocket.

Here is the back showing the straps.




  This shows it open with the cool silver button.
