Happy Birthday Elaine

We celebrated Elaine's birthday last night. I hope she enjoys the present as much as I enjoyed making the desk. I purchased the pattern from Lorri. I used the matchbox die to make the desk. The small items were part of the pattern.

We each put a trinket in a drawer. I changed the pattern slightly. I folded the desk top to create a pocket for gift cards. It also makes the desk more stable.

I spent today working on a new quilting course: it's going to be a hand applique technique class. I finished designing the pattern for a small Baltimore Album style block that teaches a variety (seven) of applique techniques. The class will meet one hour a week for three weeks.  Stay tuned to see the sample.
