Firstly I'd like to thank everyone for the informative comments on my question about quilting over stitchery or not, it's so wonderful to have a big group to pull knowledge from. What I decided is that it wouldn't be a good idea to quilt over the stitchery for fear of snagging the handwork. Having said that the stitchery blocks would puff out like balloons if they didn't have any quilting, so what I'll do is quilt around the handwork closely to have an all over even quilting.
Here's a little project I finished a couple of weeks ago. Any guesses what it might be, here is the front.
And a flower garden and little house on the back. Anyone know what this might be?
It's a key cover or as my hubby said "it's a quilt for my keys". The keys slide up inside when hanging by the door and then I slip them out to use them. Notice how the string connected to the button is hanging out from the roof when the keys are inside and then the button sits on the roof when the keys are in use.
A little snowman table mat I've been working on, just need to finish the blanket stitch around the outside. This will be a sample at the Quilted Bear. The pattern has 4 cute designs for all seasons.
Here are a couple of angel wallhangings I did. One is for Jenny owner of the Quilted Bear and the other one is for me.

I need to make me a quilt for my keys, but my house would have to be out of bright colors. I'm always losing them. Love it.

I have to say, a key quilt never came to mind! How cute! Your little angels are darling! Will you share where the pattern came from? What a sweet gift!
Love the key quilt and your PDG's are beautiful. :)
What a wonderful idea, Wendy! And I just love the snowman table mat - can you tell us what pattern that is? Cheers!
Hi Wendy. I love your "key quilt" it is just too cute! Also love those angel wallhangings & your snowman table mat. Your projects are always awesome!
Well how did blogger miss this post this AM...I was on about noon!
I LOVE everything! That key quilt looks like something that could have come from one of my japanese books! Very cute! The snowmen are to die for and the stitchery is awesome!
I think you picked a good choice for the quilting. it's hard to go over stitchery and not distort it with the foot and all that lovely stitching is too good to mess up.
Sounds like youve settled on a good plan for quilting you PDG quilt.
Love the key quilt, very cute and a nifty idea!
I love your little angel wallhangings. I can now think of the dust in my house as a blessing. Thank you. The key quilt is just adorable.
Hi Wendy, I love the snowman table mat.The key holder is a clever idea. Regards Lyn
And why shouldn't your keys have a quilt? That little piece is just darling and if your keys are happy - you will be happy, too *s*
I almost missed this post - where have I been?
Oh, my goodness a "quilt for your keys" - it's adorable, Wendy. And, the Angel sticheries and snowmen are cute beyond words. Oh, so cute!
It reminds me of a little tea cozy. A key cozy! How cute. You are so talented. BTW, What kind of camera do you use? Your photography is just wonderful. My camera has been giving me fits lately and I may be in the market for a new one.
LOVELY, LOVELY ! Your stitcheries are so cute, and what can I say about this even cuter keyholder ! It's adorable. Is there a pattern to make such one, Wendy ?
If so, can you give me some information ? My keys are in desperate need of a quilt! :>) THANKS, dear ;>)
XOXOXOXOXOXOXO
