Sewing Fun

While I was on vacation, I made a purse for my Mom. I forgot to take a photo of hers, but I finished mine~~

It is the Blossom bag by Amy Butler.  The pattern is free on-line if you google it. ;-) It was the first time I'd used upholstery fabric for a bag and let me tell you~ those seams got thick with the fabric, Peltex and other interfacing!  I have enough scraps left that I am thinking about making a new wallet too. ;-)

The inside~ has 2 pocket inserts. The back one zips shut.  Love it! :-)

It was a gorgeous day and our dogwood is in full bloom~ love it too!! :-)


Thank you to everyone who stopped by and commented on my last post. And I have 2 new followers~ welcome!! :-)

Happy quilting!!

A Winner and Some Sewing~

 First off let me start by saying thank you!  Thank you for taking the time to visit Solomon's Puzzle's website and leaving such sweet comments. I really do wish I had something to send to each of you!  The random number generator picked Becky to win the pattern! Maybe that randon generator thingy is smarter than we think~ her blog is called The Quilting Booklady!  Congratulations Becky!! :-)



 On the sewing front~ I can't really show you the whole projects I worked on this weekend~ one is a challenge and we never discussed if it was secret or not, so I'm just giving a peek until I can clarify. ;-) The other is a little housing construction :-)  for this month's 'Year of Schnibble's' project. I'll show you more of that one after I get it together. ;-)

And finally....  I am so happy to report that I finally finished the 350 triangle units for the Orca Bay mystery~ whew!! I felt like I was slogging through mud trying to get these babies all done! And then when I was celebrating them being done, I counted them a half dozen times and realized I was 12 units short!! :-o Well, I did them up first thing this morning so they wouldn't be bugging me today! LOL :-)

That's all for today~
Wishing you each a very happy Monday!!
