Pam's Shower

Pam's ward friends held a baby shower for her in their home in Edmonds. They are so sweet to her. I'm sorry I only have this one pictures, because the everything was so cute. This little baby will be their first boy, so there were lots of little blue clothes and blankets. And it was my birthday!

Marnie's Bear

 Elizabeth Hartman has a great collection of patterns dedicated to animals. Marnie wanted to do this big bear block and it turned out so cute. You can see how many pieces are needed, so it's no beginner pattern. She finished it into a pillow. Friend-shaped.

Range Backpack

 I was asked by the LaConner Quilt Museum to teach a Range Backpack class. I put these two together for samples. The orange fabric is from the shop in Anchorage. Isn't it awesome? Required hardware for this pattern is minimal, just D-rings or plastic clips. I used one type for each bag. Remember when making bags like this to use a heavy duty fabric, preferably in a dark color. For fabrics with directional patterns, you will need to pre-plan.
