Things I forgot to blog about

Tonight as I was going through my blog trying to update a few things when I can across a few pictures that I had not blogged about. I thought I would take a moment and give these things a minute in the sunshine. LOL!

I made a lunch bag for my daughter back in November. I used the tutorial in Pink Penguin. I have since made two more.

For Christmas every year I make gifts for every brother and sister of my husbands family. I make one for his mom and for us as well. That it 9 hand made gifts every Christmas. I love doing it. Last year I made a stitchery. It is a part of a Primary song that my kids used to sing at church. The buttons are maroon, not pink.

For our Parma Quilters Anonymous group meeting in December we did a gift exchange. I made a Christmas Mug Rug. I loved making it.



Well have a good evening and hopeful I can start sewing tomorrow. I have missed it!

New bags for my Aunt

My Aunt asked me to make her two bags. I was happy to make them for her. This bag pattern it so fun. I have them finished and they are on their way to California.
Here is the material. It is an outdoor material, kind of like canvas.

Here is the applique letter. I satin stitched all the way around. I did a large and small letter.

Here is a close up. Boy did it take a while.

This is the inside of the smaller bag.

Here they both are. The larger bag is for a computer. I hope she likes them.

New Bag

I started a new bag yesterday and finished it up today. It is much smaller than the blue and white one I made. I will find a happy medium.



I have started a new project. It is Eleanor Burns Twice as Nice...Plus More. I love it. I was not able to get a Jelly Roll from Moda so I just picked out some cute fabrics and cut them into 2 1/2" strips. Hopefully I can start sewing on them tomorrow. I love this pattern. You can get three quilts out of all the pieces that you cut. I can't wait to finish these. TTFN

The top is done!

I am still working on this quilt. I love it. I did not buy any extra material that matched the blocks and I should have. I had to buy different material for the borders and the backing. It still looks nice. I will be piecing the back today and then I am thinking I want to make a few bags. One from a pattern I already have, I have made one for my daughter. Then I want to make one from p.s. i quilt. I love her blog. Great tutorials.

Here is the one I made for DD. It is #1169 BYOB II The Big Shopper Bags in Multiple Sizes by Whistlepig Creek Productions. I love this bag. I am going to make a smaller one.
