Mother's Day Bible cover

This is reverse engineering from a book cover I got in an auction. I've watched several tutorials online but you can not beat having an example right in front of you. 
My favorite part the applique of the state of Texas with Virgin Mary fabric.
With the exception of the Virgin Mary fabric the rest is Vintage fabric and I mean old! Late 70's early 80's. I love this fabric!

Godzilla Quilt

We are huge and I mean Huge Godzilla fans. I found a Paper piecing Godzilla fan pattern but I have not wrapped my head around how to do it yet. 
One day my husband said a co worker granddaughter was a Godzilla fan too. At the age of five. I was excited let's make her a throw!!!! 
I grabbed some roofing paper and freehanded a 36x36 silhouette of Godzilla. A lovely lady and dear friend and I spent some quality time discussing the colors for Godzilla And away I went. 
I really like it!!

a wall hanging

This is a wall hanging it is 24x31. The bldg is done in ribbon and I reversed tie dyed the shirt.
It's nice but my biggest draw back on it is it is not washable. Would have to spot clean. 
This was my fourth attempt, first was with yard and it was going great until the taco bell emblem. Than it fell apart . Next embroidery but it literally got lostin the print. Than I tried very thin cuts of fleece - nope on that too.
Ribbon worked and I had vintage ribbon at the house. I thought I had enough but nope again and the new ribbon's quality was less than desirable.
I'm going to make myself one but I believe I need to make some changes.
