For my favorite quilter

Jo Beth and I were next-door neighbors and only 12 days apart in age. (She loves reminding me that I'm the oldest!) A couple years ago she and her quilting friends made a beautiful quilt for the Hospice Association auction. I thought that was especially thoughtful since she now lives in GA and I am in WA. I was in Atlanta this week on business and got to have dinner with her. I gave her this necklace as a long overdue thank you for the quilt.

At first she thought one of the charms was an ice cream scoop--it's a rotary cutter--and she didn't notice that the pendant is actually a quilting piece. She liked it regardless and thinks her quilting friends will be jealous. My wish is that she will wear it and feel my gratitude.

Love this bracelet

Old wrist but new bracelet! Love this design that I put together with sliced wine corks. (I have an unlimited supply!) Found some cute buttons and there ya go!

Unintentional

Wasn't planning on making this necklace but the beads called me. I was in a hurry so the picture is crude. Alice made this pendant too.

For me

Bought this beautiful pendant on etsy. It is polymer clay. Put some simple beads together to make this piece for me.

Alice's raku pendant

I really liked using the pendant that Alice made to make a necklace for my sister-in-law, Barbara--truly a collective effort.

Purple pop

My sister-in-law, Marlene, likes purple, so I've been collecting purple beads for awhile to make her a necklace. Couldn't find the right focal piece so I made one using polymer clay, silver paint and beads. I hope she likes it!
