Things to Make from Valori Wells

Valerie Wells is a designer, quilter, painter, photographer. Her seemingly endless creative energy is an inspiration to us as we start off DIY Month here at AT. A quick look at her blog revealed three how-to's she shares for everyone from experienced quilters to beginner doodlers...

We love the Olive Rose quilt pictured up top, and its pattern is offered as a free download here for DIY'ers with quilting skills.

Here's a how-to on making a grocery tote, for those of us who are handy sewers.

Don't sew at all? Valori also shares her recent fun with zen sketching. The outcome is suitable for framing and displaying your own DIY art.

I love a good DIY project to keep me busy and might have to try my hand at all three! I also had to say I love that couch!

Not quite sure what's up with that orange print. Have we moved into the seventies now?

A kit to doodle...What's next? Ice kits for Eskimos? People will buy anything if it's packaged cleverly.
