Quilts and Crafts for Gifts

I'm sure I've shown you some of these before but I'm going to show them again. We stopped at my sisters in Idaho on our way home and I just love seeing some of the things I've made and gifted her with. The lighting was not good when I took these photos as the sun was going down.

I gave this to her last month for her birthday.

I must have given her this when blue and mauve were popular colors! LOL

I've gifted quite a few penny rugs.

I have a pillow just like this at my house!

I don't recall where I got this quilt. I'm assuming it is from the 60's or 70's. The fabric is all cotton and very thin batting.

Thanks for coming along with me this week during my travels! We should be home late today!

 

Penny Rugs and Wool Applique

This is one of my favorite wool applique that I've done. Unfortunately I cannot remember who the designer was. Such a simple piece but elegant too.
This is the last penny rug I made. Ugh! I love it, but I would really like to find an easier way to cut the pennies. I heard that you can use a Sizzix machine, but I don't know anything about them and wouldn't know which one to get. (any help here?) Also, I actually had a design planned out with the color placement, but I mixed it up somehow, which shouldn't surprise me because I do that all the time putting quilt blocks together in rows.
I hope you aren't getting bored with the woollies yet.
