1) I made the "Fairy and the Swan" piece into a little pocket pillow, which is currently holding a pouch of potpourri. It is hard to tell in the pic, but the back fabric is purple.
2) I tried another padded wall banner - this time with "Share Love" by Twisted Threads. The stitched piece is teeny, so this made it look a little bit bigger. I'm not completely pleased with the finished product, though.....eh. (FYI, the purple fabric is the same as the pillow back above.)
3) I made Whimsical Element's "Sensational Summer" into a lined drawstring bag. The proportions didn't come out quite right...I didn't mean for it to be so tall! But I love the colors. This was the piece that was intended as a wedding gift....who knows, maybe I'll still give it to them. If not, since we are going to St. Thomas for the wedding, I'll just keep it as a trip momento for US. LOL
4) Finally, I tried my first flat-fold. It definitely is NOT perfect....an impatient perfectionist and a hot glue gun are a BAD combination...but it will still look cute on my bookshelves. 
Now, back to watching the Oscars...
