~My New Bag~

When I went to Expo in March, one of the booths~

A Quilter's Dream from CA

was back for a second year. :-)

I had noticed the booth last year, but I was too

overwhelmed by her beautiful display to decide which bag kit to buy. :-)

Instead I did a lot of ooohing and ahhing... and then

kicking myself!

I didn't have that problem this year! LOL

I loved 'Brooklyn' from the first time I saw it,

so the pattern and 6 FQ's came home with me. :-)

Yes, just 6 FQ's to make this bag and some interfacing.

I loved the bird fabric! LOL And I hadn't ever thought about mixing batiks and 

other fabrics, but all of her display bags were made this way~ and I loved them!

All! :-)

We Have A Winner!

First of all~

Thank you!!! ♥

To my faithful readers and followers. I love that you stop by in your busy day

to see what I am up to and to comment!

I know you want to know who the winner is~

A Tale of Two Toppers~

Happy Sunday!

I hope you are enjoying a little sunshine where you are~ it is a gorgeous day

here.. 66º, sun, no wind. I think I may have to fire up the grill tonight. :-)

I love the ten minute table runners, and even more I like the mini ones~

                 It not only works perfectly for our entry, but they can pretty up the bathroom too. ;-)

~A Little More of that Secret Sewing~

A while back Jennie & Clara of Clover & Violet asked me to 

do a little stunt sewing for them.  :-)

Oh fun!!!

The only problem was, once I finished the projects~ I wanted to keep them! :-o

Ok, let me back up a minute....

Blend Fabrics asked them to make a few things for their booth

at the up-coming Quilt Market. :-) I can't stop smiling!

And they asked me~me!~ to help sew.

Ah, pinch me now!  :-)

I am so excited just to know that something I have stitched will be at the Spring Quilt Market!!

I made the Stella Diaper Bag (pattern by Clover & Violet)

out of Blown Away by  designer - Josephine Kimberling

I love this fabric~ the hot air balloons and shower clouds are so fun!

I really wanted to keep this one! LOL

I've Decided~

...to start truncating my blog.  I just did it to the previous two posts and it 

is really easy to do!

Just do a Google search and you will find lots of tutorials. ;-)

And since it isn't a post without a photo~

I made this for a friend~ It is from the free block pages of  Fat Cat Patterns.  

It was fun and easy! 

This post is too short to bother with truncating. ;-)

Until next time~

Happy Stitchin'!!

~Another Little Secret is Out~

A few months ago~ goodness how time flies!~ anyway,

Sue from Quilt Times was looking for a little help to test a few new patterns she was working on.

Since I love that particular challenge :-) I volunteered to help.

Odds 'n Ends

Just a little catch up post today. :-)

I have been sewing and will soon have more to show.  ;-)

I made another bird seed bag~ this one for a friend. I love these

bags! They are great for toting things to the PO, the car, etc.

Sturdy and fun. :-)

Love the cardinal! :-)
