Five Days of Favs - Day Two

Today I'm sharing two of my favorite tools. One is a compass & protractor combo with circle stencils. I found it at my local office supply store. I other one is a bunch of plastic circles that range from 1/4 inch to 2 inches that I picked up at a quilt shop. I use them both for hand applique, wool projects and crazy quilting.

Some of my favorite things

I'm trying to get a hand quilted wall hanging finished. Since I won't have a lot of finished projects to post this week I thought I would post some of my favorite things. I will start off first with my new favorite magazine. I am a little obsessed with bags and pincushions so it's no surprise I was attracted to this magazine.


I picked this up at my local quilt shop, but have since seen it at JoAnn Fabric and a local grocery store. It has some really fun projects inside along with full size patterns.

The Great Pumpkin

This is a pumpkin that will be making its rounds to four other people in a round robin group on crazy quilt international yahoo group I'm in. I know it doesn't look like much now, but when I get it back it will be embellished and will look fantastic.

Spring time Postcards

Here are a few more postcards. One is for a birthday and the other for the springtime swap on stitchin fingers.

More doll dress blocks

Here are two more dresses for the doll dress swap for my local small 30's group.
