Block from class # 3.....

I have to make 3 more and put them together to make a 12 inch block.   It was a fun one to make and not as hard as I thought it would be.  The hardest part was putting it together correctly and it took a few tries!

I started another project.....

...but it is a secret!!

Only thing I can post is that it comes from the Liberated Quiltmaking book.  Quick and easy, so it should be finished soon.

I finished all the Classy Quilted Bottles.....


I know it is a funny name for them, they are not really classy, but certainly nicer than the usual bottle most of us carry around!  I am hoping they sell well........anyone interested??.....http://www.etsy.com/people/firstfruitsdesign?ref=si_pr

Another Candle Mat.....



Very autumn/Thanksgiving on the front, but the back is more Christmas with holly leaves.  This is one of the candles we made.  Chai Latte scent - certainly hope she likes it!!

Quilted Bottles........



Trying my hand at something a little bit different for the Etsy shop.  I cleaned out old empty prescription bottles, spray painted the cap black and glued a stone on it.  Then I quilted a small rectangle and glued it on the bottle with some trim to cover up the raw edges. 
I still have some work to do to make it nicer before I make any for Etsy though.

I figure that most women carry around a bottle for tylenol etc.  Also great for small items like paper clips or push pins.  I thought I might even add a small spool of thread and some needles and make a to-go sewing kit. 

Any comments or suggestions........please feel free to let me know what you think,
