Fun Sewing~ part 2

Thank you for your wonderful comments on my bag. :-) I had a little problem with Yahoo and some of my replies to your comments bounced back to me... a glitch in the system?  I just wanted you to know I did appreciate each and every one of your comments! YOU are what keeps me blogging!  :-) And your friendships mean the world to me!

Now for the other pattern I tested~  :-)

Bexley Square is such a neat quilt. The pattern has both a boy version and a girl version, I did the girl version. It is jelly roll friendly, so I used a jelly roll I had from Eleanor Burns~ it was just the right florally, girly, romantic touch for me. :-)  And the periwinkles, pinks and coral colors are so fresh in real life.

I'm not sure why that photo turned, or why it is so dark. Must've been a rainy day. :-/

It is approx 72.5 x 88.5 inches.

I used a vintage sheet on the back and quilted it with an allover large swirly flower design.  I want to thank Amy at katicupcake for trusting me with her wonderful pattern! It was fun, easy and I just love my new quilt!

That's all for today~ I just finished quilting another top, so maybe I'll have photo's after the weekend. ;-)
Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!!

Fun Sewing!

Awhile back when I wasn't blogging a lot, I was busy with some fun sewing. (ok, I know I haven't been blogging really regularly for quite some time, but this week is going to be a winner! LOL)

Anyway, I had the best time doing a little pattern testing... for katicupcake... squeeeeeaaallll!!! I just love all of her designs so when I got the email asking if I would be interested in doing a little testing, I was beyond thrilled!  I know, not everyone thinks testing a new pattern is fun, but I do! I love the challenge!  And honestly, it really wasn't a challenge to make up Amy's patterns. She has a very easy writing style.  No matter how complicated a pattern looks, she takes you through the steps one by one and they just all fit together to make something you never dreamed you could make!  For example, one of her new patterns is called 'carry on bag'.  Looks complicated, doesn't it? Its not. It is a little time consuming, but if you follow the pattern step by step, it is very doable.

I just love all the pockets in this bag. It holds a lot for your next trip, plus there is a place for everything! The clasp is fun too. I already have another set of fabrics set aside to make one for my quilt retreats. :-)

The back~

I know my fabric looks a little wild in the photo's, but in real life it is just perfect. ;-)

I was also lucky enough to test a quilt pattern. Fun! Fun! Fun! :-) I will show you that later this week. :-)

Tomorrow I will be blogging at Clover & Violet for the Season By Hand series, but I will also have a little bit to show here.

Have a happy day!
