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

Loving that bag! Lucky daughter. The bean bags are cute too. I wonder if Amelia has any need for bean bags. I'll have to think about that one because I want to make a set.

I just love how that technique makes us look like 'point on' sewers! Not that we can't do it point on anyway...cool bag! And fun beanbags too!

Loving both the gifts. I am not a bag person but sure have been sighting some cutes ones around the internet lately. And I know Audrey must love the bean bags, all cute and squishy!
