Pencil Roll

This is one of my new, and recently more popular items -- the Pencil Roll. It fits 24 colored pencils, or Crayola Twist-Ups, and also fits nicely in a Library Tote! It rolls up nicely, and also lies flat when open.

7 lucky little girls got these 7 colorful bags as Christmas gifts.

Upcoming Show

I have a show coming up this Saturday, October 31 in Thurmont, MD. I will have my regular fabulous items to sell, like purses and pillowcases, as well as some new things. Over the next few days I'll post photos of the newer items. If you're interested in coming and need details, leave me a comment with your email address and I'll get you all the info. If you cannot come to the show, but would like to purchase something, leave a comment with your info as well.

Completed Quilt

Here is the finished commissioned baby quilt. It ended up being 44" square, which is large for a baby quilt. But, I think it gives room to grow.

I pieced the back, which is a new thing for me. I like the look it gives and that it has a patchwork vibe to it as well.
Here is a close up of the quilting and my fabulous label. I did a meandering stipple throughout. When it's washed, it should have really nice texture.

New Quilt

I got an order yesterday for a baby quilt. I chose these fabrics because they are sweet and soft and are tailor made for baby. I'm doing 9-Patch blocks separated by pink sashing. The border will be the pink fabric with sheep. Check back in a few days for a finished quilt top. This baby is coming in October, so the quilt needs to be done in a few weeks. It will be a very sweet quilt.

Daddy Diaper Tote

I first made this take-along bag for a baby shower. I have since modified it, and have come up with this little gem. It is the perfect size -- about 9" x 12" -- and can hold diapers, a wipes case, and a change of clothes. Why do I call it the "Daddy Diaper Tote?" When my babies need to be changed in public, and it's my husband's turn, he hates to take the whole diaper bag. He prefers just to be handed to diapers and the wipes. Many times, he came back to me, just to need the new outfit I stash in my bag. With the Daddy Diaper Tote, dads can take everything they need to change baby, and not have to come back to mom for anything extra.

If you'd like to order one, email me at jana@mollypatch.com.
