A strange one....

The little sister of one of my best friends had a baby girl today. I asked her a couple months ago what she wanted in a baby quilt. She said pink and leopard. Not what I would have chosen... It is cuter than I thought it was going to be, though.

My newest BAG LADIES purse

I finished my Amy Butler BIRDIE SLING bag this morning. I LOVE this bag! It was fun to make from a cute bunch of fat quarters I bought at JoAnn Fabric with a 50% off coupon, and added some coordinating Thimbleberries fabric from the quilt shop. It took approximately two yards of fabric. It is a huge bag. The parts have a fusible interfacing, and the lining has a heavier fusible fleece backing. It has two pockets inside. I keep wondering why I pay $25 for the bag ladies class, but I have learned ALOT in the two classes I attended. My big goal is to learn to sew in a zipper closure. This picture really does not do this bag justice...I will show it off at the craft day at Joann's on the 7th. Joann's purses are AMAZING, like mine, the picture really do not do them justice, she sews sew beautifully. I am looking forward to attending a craft show, and showing off our creations.

Ok so I found the "New Post" and it looks like here is where I can get the pictures... Yep here they are. The Black Butterfly measures 9" deep, 14" wide, and has a zip closure.

The Litttle Brown one, is 4" deep and 12" wide. The flowers are "iron on". The Purple Print and Black Multi are both 9" deep and 12 1/2" wide. The one as you can see has a flap and magnetic snap and the purple just has the magnetic snap.

So, I'looking forward to having all of you on the 7th.

See you then.

Master Quilt

I made this quilt in about an hour. Let me know what you think. I haven't quilted it yet, because I don't have a needle that would make it through the layers.

old project

I told Joanne I was going to post this when I was trying to describe the crazy curves pattern to her. I loved how this project turned out. It is still not bound in this picture. The binding was black.

Feather Practice

This is my latest project. The piecing is called "tossed nine patch" a very simple pattern. The quilting is mostly feather practice. I made a huge mistake, I put the back on inside out! Duh!.

Here's an update. I did what Candi said and added the huge label to cover the mistake. Here is a picture.

I have been quilting for about four years now, and I have never made this mistake before.

Special Customer Quilt

It's tough taking a good picture of a large quilt. This quilt is 85 by 100, and I did it for a customer. I was working at the Touch of Thread Quilt Gallery, where I "work" every Tuesday, and this man walks in with a bag of blocks and asks if anybody can finish this quilt for him. His wife was making it for her son and she died before she finished it. I took on the job.

It was my job to sew the blocks together, put on borders, quilt and then put binding on. I loved working on this quilt. It seems to have a good spirit, it was one of those quilts where nothing goes wrong from start to finish. I hope he likes it.
