A selection of projects with nothing in common but fun!

Cheep Housing for the whole neighborhood.  Five birdhouses and four quick blocks and you have a little town for the birdies. A narrow border surrounded by scrappy squares will complete this 34″ x 40″ wallhanging.  Just right for fat quarters or for using up your scraps.

Simple piecing and a bit of applique are found in this Apple Pattern tabletopper.  

It’s the right time of year for Lil’ Friends Hooded Jacket.  Fusible web puppies are made happy with little button bones.  Fusible web kitties have some mice to chase after.  A hood to keep the head warm and side pockets to keep the hands warm (or to store a puppy treat!) and your little one is all ready to head outside.

No Carb Sampler will fit right in with your diet!   This 48″ wall hanging is made of 25 blocks and will look good in many different color ways.  The black background makes the bright colors stand out.  A white background with pastels would be very pretty.  Just two colors would be another look.  And you just might discover a new favorite block in the process.

The Star Tote pattern comes in two sizes with two different stars.  The smaller size will work great for a “green” lunch bag . . .  a sandwich, chips and a cookie or two, and no paper bag to throw away.   The larger bag is 9 x 9 x 14.  Just right for a trip to the library, or holding a sewing project or even a casual purse.  Make all four – you can never have too many totes.

Welcome back to Monday Madness – an eclectic selection of patterns.
