Do you love Sudoku?

This unique and addictive puzzle has been around since 1979 (invented by Howard Garns in 1979 and published as Number Place in Dell Magazines). They became popular in Japan in 1986, then became an international craze in 2005.

The idea behind Sudoku is using the numbers 1-9. You can only use the number once per block, once per horizontal row and once per vertical row. This puzzle idea is incorporated into a not-so-simple 9-patch quilt with sashing to distinguish each block.

This adorable Sudoku quilt was done in shades of yellow, pink and teal with a black sashing. The sashing and border is done in a playful print that resembles pastel boomerangs. The patchwork theme was also used on the back of this quilt with a soft pastel flannel that’s perfect to snuggle under!

Machine stitched and free-hand machine quilted in a meandering design. Quality 100% cotton fabric and 100% cotton Warm & Natural batting were used. Machine wash warm; tumble dry low. Made in a smoke-free home.

I enjoyed doing this quilt so much, that I also made one in bright blues and greens. The set would be a great gift for twins!

GREAT GIFT FOR FATHER'S

These bags are made from elegant upholstery fabric and great for holiday gift-giving. This pattern developed from my desire to make all of my husband's poker friends bags for their winnings - I got tired of mending their Crown Royal bags!

I made sure the bags were durable. They are double stitched TWICE – once while originally sewing them together and the second on the outside which also serves as a decorative stitch. My husband has had over $100 in quarters in his bag with no sign of stress on the stitching! Yes, he’s got luck on his side (he married me didn’t he)!

Your order is for your choice of one of the bags listed. Please indicate your choice in the notes section when you place your order. If you want more than one or a different color, please contact me with your choices and I’ll list a custom order for you. The last photo shows additional fabric (blue floral and camouflage) these can be made from. Made in a smoke-free home.

Size: approximately 9” wide x 10.5” tall
