Sewed a new skirt

I love this skirt pattern. It is gathered and has elastic waist band. The fabric is a panel with a panther or some kind of big cat on it, but that does not show in this photo.

Sweet thank you note.

Scott works at the Karns Senior Center where I attend a
Crafting Social. This is their first child. We gave them a baby
shower a few weeks before the craziness began.

I used a pair of black leather shoes and pieces of denim to make these shoes. Challenge was to make each shoe look the same.

View the video about these quilts at Tennessee Thrifter YouTube

I came across some interesting quilt patterns in a book Modern Minimal Quilts and made 4 of them.
Instead of having 4 quilts separately, I used them back to back so that was 2 quilts. Quilting is expensive, so that saved me l/2. The pattern for the sailboat is one that i blew up giant size from a 20"x20" block. I enjoyed making these and love the way they turned out. Each of the minimal quilts took me about 2 hours to make from cutting the fabric to the actual sewing. The sailboat pattern took a little longer, but none took as long as a typical quilt. I found a store that quilted all 3 for $124. I furnished the backings and did the bindings.
