Made another smallish quilt, probably for gifting; shades of Turquoise, fabrics mostly from a neighbor's scraps, some of our discarded clothes, and one vintage sheet I bout around 2010. Handsewing with thread from my grandmother's stash.

I made the backpack below as a custom order in 2009. And the owner loved it, so she sent me a second identical backpack, and asked me to put the same photo on it, just in case something happened to the first! It's not identical, but it's very similar.
