I'm A Bag Lady!

Everyone needs a retreat to get lots of sewing done! :-) I sure accomplished a lot!

I put the finishing touches on these two bags this past week.  

Both are Kim @ Lily Patch Quilts Tote Along Tool Caddy pattern. (Look at the top of her blog for her shop) ;-)

I love this pattern!  It has tons of pockets inside and out!

I did alter it a bit by adding a zipper closure at the top... just a little security. ;-)

And I just love the batiks! :-)

I am linking to Sew Sweetness's Purse Palooza 2014 again... you really should check out all the cool bags over there!

Until next time~

Happy Stitchin'!

Whew! Where Have I Been?!

 Hello~ remember me? :-)

I did go to retreat the middle of October and I have so many things to show you! It was a very productive weekend. :-)

However, after retreat was not so fun.  The week after I was back I got so sick that I had to spend Halloween in the ER. :-o Oh My Gosh! I do NOT ever want to repeat that!

So for the past 2 weeks I have been recovering from a nasty virus, laying low and giving myself a chance to get my stamina back. Not fun. Not fun at all... so let's not talk about it! Ok?

This was the first project I tackled at retreat, and gave it the finishing touches just last week.

The original  pattern is from Clover & Violet and is called Felicity. If you remember, I made one with the frame insert~ and have been loving it! ;-)

 Instead of doing hexagons on the outside, I tried tiles... and I like it!

I also used a hex shaped frame for the insert instead of a snap frame.

I love how the frame stays open so you can 'root around' in there. LOL

Thanks for stopping by! I'll be back tomorrow with more of my retreat projects. ;-)
