Delicate Disappearing 4-Patch

Kim, a co-worker at Quilt Cove, made this super cute quilt for Claudia, her grandson's girlfriend. 

It's a disappearing 4-patch made from soft-hued batiks:

Star Wars 7 Quilt

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

Regina made this quilt for her grandson who will be turning 8 years old. His twin sister will get the Shopkins quilt posted on my last blog, here.

Shopkins Quilt

Do you know what Shopkins are?! They are 1" high collectible plastic figures based on supermarket items, with faces and names. There are a lot of them for children to collect and play supermarket with. 
     Regina made this adorable Shopkins quilt for a little girl's birthday.

Square Peg Mini Quilt

I made another mini for our quilt gallery! The pattern is "Square Peg Miniature Quilt" from the book, "A Piece of Cake" by Peta Peace of She Quilts A Lot blog.

The quilts in this book are made from layer cakes. But this mini quilt is made from a 2 1/2" Candy Charm pack and finishes 15" square. (There's a larger version that uses a layer cake.)

Jane made this bright, educational quilt for a young boy's birthday gift.

Christmas Table Runner 🏃 Finish

Jennifer, of The Inquiring Quilter blog, posted this free table runner 🏃 pattern as her stop on the "12 Days of Christmas in July Blog Hop". You can find the table runner pattern on her blog, along with a full size quilt pattern now, The Inquiring Quilter.

I custom quilted mine with swirls, point-to-point quilting, meandering and figure 8 quilting. But with all that sparkle and pattern going on the stitches aren't very visible:

50 Needle Cases for OCC!

Our family loves making shoebox gifts for Operation Christmas Child! This involves packing a shoebox full of gifts for a child in need. We have prepared 50 shoeboxes for girls, ages 10-14 this year. I made these cute needle cases to add to the boxes, pattern by Natalie Barnes of Beyond the Reef, Teeny Simple Needle Cases for Friendship Group.

Here's the assembly line-up. I discovered that strip piecing the shorter way, with four strips rather than with 6, makes the needle holder fold easier.

Quilted Puzzle

Judy made this amazing puzzle of a t-shirt quilt for her daughter's high school graduation.

A New Handbag 👜

Yay! I made a new handbag! One of the perks of working at my LQS, Quilt Cove, is that I can take classes for free. Last Saturday I joined a handbag class and made this. I had it partially done at the end of class. I went home and sewed until midnight to finish it: 

The pattern is The Essential Tote by Around the Bobbin:
