Scripture Cover

A few weeks ago I did a post about my first adventures on Pinterest.
I found a book cover and really wanted to make it for my scriptures. I got a new set for my birthday and wanted to keep them nice from the start.  I really liked this tutorial and found the pattern quite easy to follow. I added my own flap so that it would close around front, just to protect the pages and little more. It really was simple and easy and a fun day project.

Applique

I have many techniques to learn, but that's what excites me about quilting. I'm not sure that I could ever feel complacent. I am amazed at the ideas others come up with. Each new style of quilting adds to my joy of accomplishment, and total awe of others.

I've started a very basic quilt for my little girl. I made-up a simple pattern, consisting of Fat Quarters and larger blocks of fabric. I plan to add embellishment this quilt by adding applique flowers and butterflies. To start out I found this website "Sew Momma Sew" . I thought it to be very helpful with tutorials.

This is a picture of her applique lesson.

I also love that it has great free patterns and covers over lapping appliques in lesson 2.
