Art Folder for my Grandson

I came up with this idea for a Christmas present for my drawing/writing grandson.
I had some Moleskin small blank books I got on a great sale so I thought I could just measure and sew up a useful way to carry the book and a few pens or pencils.



I also like to draw in small books so I tried to be careful not to add bulk or unnecessary seams on the covering of the book itself.

Finished 100 Modern Blocks

I am pretty pumped!  I finished the last of my 100 Modern Quilt Blocks from the book by Tula Pink.


I precut the individual blocks and laid them out on my handy graph paper pad and scribbled on numbers so as not to get them confused. ;)


Then laid them out carefully - ok, I will admit there was some ripping out going on.  Hey, the blocks just look better when the fabric is in the right order....



And so it went.  I now have a lovely pile of 100 blocks - now for figuring out the quilt layout.
