Many of us have the best of intentions.  We purchase the (sometimes very costly) materials, and (sometimes) begin to craft with the best of intentions: a birthday gift, baby shower present, holiday giving.  If your plan was to make gifts this year for your friends and family, there's still time.  Here are a few of the projects I have in the works this week: A picnic blanket using a flat sheet from my childhood as the backing. Adorable zipper pouches, perfect for pencils, makeup, etc.  Find the pattern  here . A quilt top (ready for batting and backing).  Find the pattern  here.   This is a great project for scrap fabric. A zipper pouch made from fabric that I screened and dyed. Eyemasks galore! More of the sweetest zipper pouches. A fantastic baby blanket, toddler blanket, throw blanket, or whatever you want to call it.  It's made with Moda's Berenstain Bears fabric, and couldn't be more perfect.
