What's Willie Making?

Willie used the Me and You Batiks from Hoffman to make this quilt!  The pattern is "Set Sail" from Jaybird Quilts!

Willie used the "Sweet Tooth " pattern from Jaybird Quilts for this quilt!

The "Fold and Stitch Wreath" that Willie made will look great on a table this Fall season!!

She also made placemats perfect for the whole Fall season!

Someone's toiletries will look great in this dopp bag that Willie made for someone on her list!  Or is it for quilting notions?  Only the recipient will know for sure!
