Birthday sewing

It was my friends birthday last week and as she doesn't do any type of craft, I always try to make her something. This year I made her a book cover. I used bright fabric in shades of teal, red and mustard. The patchwork blocks are: a nine patch, a shoo fly and a churn dash. This project also gave me the opportunity to make prairie points. I always thought they would be difficult, but they're not. I was pleasantly surprised at just how easy they were.

Also in the photo is a colourful millefiori floral polymer clay handled seam ripper that I purchased from a shop in Etsy. Angela has some beautiful items in her shop. If you would like to take a look, you can find the link HERE.
