I’m much happier with these ones. I only just finished the blue and lilac one tonight, so it won’t be uploaded until after I’ve taken pictures tomorrow. But here’s a few more for your enjoyment:

This one’s my favorite of the current batch. I love the way the batik makes the wings all a bit different. I also think I got the wing shapes better than last time. (Listing)

I made one of these in the nano size (listing) and one in the normal size (listing). The sparkly, clear fabric and the purple satin fabric were lying beside each other in a remnants bin and I just saw how well they’d work together! It’s not reversible, since the sparkles might scratch the case.

This batik is plain, it’s got nothing exciting going on but it’s nice and simple. (listing)

And, last, these red and white cases are made with some fabric I love! They’ve got a simple white lining (but if you want red, you can check out some other cases I have on Etsy). (nano) (normal)

That’s it for tonight! I’m going to post tomorrow about the baby turkey. I just have to blur some faces from the photos, so that people will stay anonymous.

I made this already and I’m almost finished the second one. It’s much prettier in person, but since we don’t have a digital camera (real pics coming Tuesday), I had Micah scan it! (scanners don’t pick up on the nuances, unfortunately)

I haven’t yet sewed it into a case, it’s just the fabric, but I’m really liking the design!

In honor of my Dada (grandfather) who died of senile dementia in 2002, I’m working on miniature quilts for the Alzheimer’s Art Quilt Initiative project called Priority: Alzheimers.

They take quilts that are 9″ x 12″ or smaller and auction them off online to raise money for Alzheimer’s research.

My goal: To make one miniature quilt for every member of that side of family in 2002 (including Dada). That means 12 quilts. (I’m not counting one cousin by marriage.)

So far, I have 9–plus one I made in honor of a little girl, using the fabric from her Halloween costume. I’ll put that at the bottom–it’s the turkey!

I’ll be presenting these quilts to my Dada’s side of the family after Christmas and then mailing them in to be auctioned off. I’ll post here when that happens!

Listed Here on Etsy for $15 plus $1.50 S&H.

I really like this case pattern, though I’m happier with the yellow butterfly than the orange one. The definition of the orange one’s wings doesn’t show up as well in the picture as I’d like. But if you buy the case, you can always stick with your favorite side

 My favorite side:

My less-favorite side (but still kinda pretty):

And this shows you how the case looks when you flip it open:

The case fits an original iPod, or the iPod touch and iPhone. Or anything else that’s roughly its size.

I love butterflies–how they symbolically represent new life, how they’re such beautiful colors. Even their fragility is beautiful. I hope to do more such cases.
