Those are great! I can't imagine sewing on that small of a scale! Love the all!

What is QuiltCampus, and do you ever teach in person? I get the general idea of some of it, but I am such a visual learner. I don't have time to do all that I need to do, let alone, the things, I want to do, but these just keep coming back to me. Do you think you will ever do a book? (with lots of pics, lol) :D

Do these little purses have zippers? They are so cute!!

I also have to see it to retain it or to make sense of it. My husband does better if he hears it.

Quilt Campus is an online site that offers classes on quilting. I have 4 classes coming up in the very near future. I think the students will be able to sign up here pretty soon. I have a checkbook cover using a "star block" done like the Boston Block and a coin purse done with the "wing block" and a tote bag done with my version of the Drunkard's Path.

Actually I just finished writing an e book on the Boston Blocks that I used in the bookmarks. It should be available in the near future I believe. If you like I can let you know when I know more.

I don't want anyone to think I am being pushy but since you asked...

I use velcro now. I used to make purses and I used zippers but when I went to the smaller stuff the zippers started being made only in plastic and fewer and fewer in metal. I don't care for the plastic ones too much and the velcro is easier to do.

I have recycled zippers but then I would get ones that were sticky and that can be a pain to use soap or wax on them to get them to loosen up. I also had problems with the zipper breaking. The velcro is easier to replace by hand if you need to when it wears out which they do if you use it alot.

It 's all a matter of which you prefer. I teach the velcro because it is easier. Zippers freak some people out.
Anyone wants to learn to put zippers in I can teach it that way.

Thanks for the compliments! But the fact that I have made over 700 hotpads in the last 11 years and I don't remember how many of the checkbook covers and coin purses etc. has something to do with it!!

It's mostly that I do the same things over and over again!!
