Fruit and cheese pie

 I used a frozen pie crust, leftover cream cheese filling from the cheese pie recipe, nectarines, strawberries, then baked for 40-50 minutes at 350. Then I added leftover sour cream topping (again from the cheese pie) and baked for 10 minutes at 425. Basically I made cheese pie on a regular pie crust with a layer of fruit in between.

Hmm. Interesting. I mean, it tasted ok, but I think it would have worked better if I put the fruit either on top or on the bottom, not in the middle.

Hazelwood Stars, brights

 I finally finished! I used my Jazz II to partially quilt and do the binding. It's about 7x6 feet and has fairly thick batting.

You can kind of see my quilting skills (or lack thereof) but I've decided it's part of the "handmade" and also that I probably would need a completely different space/tools to get a smooth quilting done so this is as good as it gets!

Red Hazelwood Stars part 2

 Well, that only took two years... Finally finished this lap quilt as part of a set with pillows and a full-size quilt. I am still working with my Jazz II so the back of the quilting did not go completely smoothly, but it came out decent enough to hold together.

Ladybug Quilt

 This was all my ladybug quilt pieces mixed together with red. I managed to run some simple quilting lines across it with my Jazz II, but I still need a lot more practice with the machine, so I used my faithful old Babylock Crafter to finish off the binding. It's about 5x5 feet and I've giving it to one of my nieces.

Vintage nine-patch

I had a whole bunch of finished and unfinished quilt blocks that were hand-pieced by my great-great grandmother. I took all the nine-patches and pieces of fabric and made a small quilt, about 2x3 feet. My mom recognized lots of the pieces - she says they were from aprons.

small flannel quilt

 I made a mini that was very similar to this, but this one is about 2 feet square. I'm saving it for a baby gift at some future time.
