Happy New Year!

Wishing you a very happy new year and I had my first finish today! I am trying  to start the year out right! I used the same  pattern I used for my daughter's checkered purse by Noodlehead ,so far I have used two of her patterns and for a beginner bag maker they are gold star! The best!

When my daughter said she needed a bag for book club , fireworks went off for me. My granddaughter is transferring to NIU (Northern Illinois Universary) from a local junior college. I think she might be in need of  a book bag with a much bigger campus. I am hoping she likes the color combination that I have picked out. Pictures to follow.....




I put the blue seam   utensil in the pocket , so that you could tell that there is a pocket. Instead of using fabric for shoulder strap, I used webbing as I wanted it stronger. The inside has pockets and is a red Kaffe fabric!


Got it all packed and just have to wait until post office opens tomorrow! All for now, Martha. Hope your new years day travels are safe.

Onward!

  I have been doing some more sewing of flying geese, the past couple of days.  I have made some progress as I have about twenty sashings total sewn now.  Here are pics of what I have finished so far. I also got back another lap quilt from the quilter and I have sewn down the binding on the front side. In the evenings I am enjoying hand sewing the back side.   I also purchased some Applipops  , which were a bit on the expensive side($35) and decided to try them for all the circles in this quilt. They are not worth the price in my opinion.  To each his own. I prefer my mylar circle washers, There are many more sizes and easier to use.

Daughter Called

Image
My daughter called and asked if I would make her a couple of quilts! Of course I said yes, I love sharing my quilting with her. She  found a block she liked on pinterest in black,greys and white. I drew out my pattern on graph and began piecing until I got this.... and I found the most perfect soft snuggle backing.... So I now just have to take it to the quilter! I have also put up a small Christmas tree in the living room. I finished a small churn dash quilt of Fig Tree fabrics that I started at retreat in the beginning of November. I also finished my candle in the window log cabin quilt.... I started a few circle  blocks. I am going to use various blue backgrounds with my Kaffe and Tula scraps. All for now,chatter later, Martha.
