Another Ipad cover

New Years dinner was at my house this year.  My daughter and her family enjoyed fresh ham, scalloped potatoes, cream corn and green peas.  My son had to work as he had Christmas off.  I had my whole family here for brunch on Christmas minus two of my grand-children.  Maybe one year it will be a complete whole family.

My oldest grand-daughter got an Ipad for Christmas and when she saw the cover I had made for mine she decided that it would be a good idea for me to make her one also.  She picked the fabric from my stash.  She chose green fairy frost.  I guess that is typical for a young teenager.

Hunter Star Quilt is finished and other things

I finished the Hunter Star Quilt the other day and since it was mild out and no much snow I was able to hang it up outside and take a decent picture of it.  It is made with the "Deb Tucker Rapid Fire Hunter Star Ruler".  This ruler is really a great tool to make this quilt.

I am a little disappointed with the colours since the deep brown star doesn't show up as much as I thought it would, but I am still happy with it.

I also got an Ipad for Christmas (I'm spoiled, I know) so I wanted to make a cover for it to give it some protection.  I looked around the Internet for a pattern and decided on this one from One Shabby Chick.  Her tutorial is very easy to follow and it actually fits my Ipad.

I have had this fabric for a while and

thought it was just perfect,

very elegant.



I also made a new bag for a friend for her groceries.  She is like me and hates to pay the 5 cents for a bag so I made her one to carry in her purse or car to have handy when she needs one.

This bag is lined and ready to go.

I have made this bag pattern many times.  I got it off the Internet many years ago and I can't find the pattern again to link it to this post.  It is called "The Greatest Bag Tutorial Ever?"  I make it a little larger than the pattern calls for.  I make it 16x17 and the pattern calls for 13 1/2 x 12.  I made it that size once and it is too small so not I make it the larger size.

I found the link: here it is.
