Patchwork Sewing Kit

This pattern is one that I admired for a long time before making it, being uncertain of my patchwork and quilting skills. But after making a small quilt for my dog a while back, I decided I should give it a shot!

patchwork key fob (+ pattern)

My younger sister was staying in some dorms for a summer program recently, and requested a key fob. So I decided to make one, of course! This key fob has a key ring on one side, and a clasp on the other, so that it can be both clipped inside a bag and folded to fit around your wrist. I'm keeping this one, but another is in the works for her. These would make wonderful gifts, as they are small and quick to make, but very practical.

First Ever Quilt!

I made my first quilt! It's quite small, about 2.5' x 3' and intended for my dog and kitty. They both adore blankets and I figured this way if it turned out super bad it'd still be okay, because animals tend not to be too picky.

The quilt is hand-pieced and hand-quilted, and made entirely from my cotton-prints-I-found-in-the-remnants-bin collection. It's backed with a plaid flannel that I think is especially sweet because it matches both my black and white dog and my black and white kitty!
