Monday I made this 16" square reverse applique block.
I also made two of these 8" reverse applique blocks. I have several more to go.

Last Friday I taped episode 33 of my local access t.v. show. This is what I made during the taping, a make-up bag (notions bag, jewelry bag, etc.). My show is all about being "green," so how is this "green?" I used fabric scraps left over from my sewing projects as well as from friends' sewing projects. You can also use old t-shirts, jeans, table clothes, etc. for it as well. Maybe one day I'll use fused plastic bags for it. That would be interesting. You can also use organic cotton batting for the inside.
I am hoping to edit the 30 minute episode for viewing on you tube very soon. Until then, you can view my blog tutorial here.
I'm not finished with my first sock yet. I have about 2 to 3 more inches of the foot to go before starting on the toes. There are mistakes and it looks funny to me, but it is my first sock. I just hope that I can make a matching 2nd sock. Maybe my next pair will actually be leg warmers. It was below zero degrees out on Monday, and I sure could use a pair for under my jeans.
