Made these for my friend pam's birthday (although I was really late with them)  :)

some stained glass

and an octopus pouch (front, back and inside)

I really liked the pin cushion I made Lori so I made one for me too :)

For Ainsley's birthday:

black and white pin cushion:

felt book fro storing sewing needles:

I need to make some for me but here are the ones I have made for others:

pattern is a variation on one from Last Minute Patchwork and Quilted Gifts

this is a woven scarf (used my loom).  it's cotton from Liza Souza (discontinued now but soooooooo soft)

And a garter stitch scarf from my handspun.  Fat Cat merino wool fiber in italian leather sofa

asparagus gruyere tart

chery tomato, olive, chicken pasta

this is pretty much the pattern we learned in my sewing class... but the patchwork was inspired by these place mats
