Handmade Gifts

I made my Daughter this Mondo Bag by Quiltsmart.

 
I took a class where you did the cutting and fusing to interfacing ahead of time.  Very fun.  I'm going to be making more.  It's 17 inches tall with a 10 inch square bottom.

I use 54 different colors of Kona that I won from Pam from Mad About Patchwork.
She has a great shop too with the same name: Mad About Patchwork. Thanks Pam;  I can't wait to start another colorful project.

I made these bean bags (and a bag to keep them in) for Audrey for Christmas.  I used the tutorial HERE

Figgy Pudding Finish

Love this table topper because
I love Figgy Pudding fabric (even though I only had two charm packs)!!




I designed it as I went along.  As I said, two charm packs of Figgy Pudding by Basic Grey for Moda, Fruitcake binding and the border is A Berry Merry Christmas.

And here is a photo of the main attraction at our extended family Christmas party last Sunday:

 Of course, that is Grandma's opinion!!
 Miss Audrey is really growing up.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Pear Shaped Coin Purse with Ball Clasp Frame

Here is one project I've been working on:

 I made these three coin purses using this tutorial from Craft Passion.

There is quite a lot of hand stitching on this purses. I'm happy with how they turned out and they will be fun to gift.

Bonzer & Beaut.

Another gift checked off the list!

Let me introduce Bonzer & Beaut.
(a Melly & me pattern):

 The gift recipient isn't a reader so I think it's safe to show them.
I hope she likes them.
They are between 8 & 9 inches tall.
