Small Item Sewing

Fun sewing has been filling in the infrequent gaps in my busy life lately.

This is my favorite - the Sew Together Bag by Sew demented. The pattern is available on Craftsy.

The inside has three zipper pockets along with four open storage areas that all close with a zipper that closes to form a handle. Very clever pattern and I may be the last person to make one.

Next is the Dumpling Pouch which is a free tutorial from Michelle's Patterns and was sent off in a swap with other goodies. It's tiny - only 5.25" X 3.5".

I was a little late on gifts for new great-nephews Josiah and Chester. They got bibs and burp clothes.

We had a great time with the grandkids this weekend because it warmed up enough to go sledding and building a snowman!

I have a secret gift I'm hoping to finish and show next week.

Happy Thanksgiving!

My Crazy Trip!

No, I haven't been traveling! I just finished my scrappy trip quilt which I named My Crazy Trip.

This quilt started out a a fabric pull from my stash to use in a little demo I was doing at a Minneapolis Modern Quilt Guild meeting. I made a sample if each step of the Scrappy Trip using the tutorial from Quiltville. I received great feedback from everyone on my unusual fabric choices so I finished this quilt.

 

 

It is 64" x72". And yes some of the blue bled into the border and backing which is Michael Miller Cotton Couture in Vanilla. I washed in cold water gentle cycle with two Color Catchers. Not happy about that.

Love making the grandchildren's (and children's) dreams come true!
