Red and White

I've quilted my queen size red and white quilt. These fabrics were from the 5" red and white swap from a while ago.  I love this quilt, it's got such a variety of reds. I put wool batting inside, can't wait to try it out.

My cousin had a baby girl a couple weeks ago. I've made a couple little blankets to use in the stroller or car seat, they are about 20" x 30" with cotton and soft minky fabric. These don't have batting, a nice and light cover. The little purse to for her big sister. What girl wouldn't love purple horses.

Happy Quilting!

TA DA

Something is finished.....finally. I spent sometime on the weekend working on this bag. There is quiet a bit of hand sewing to do with this purse. Now it's ready for me to fill up and start using. This is the front, there are two pockets outside for keys and cell phone.

Don't know why this picture is extra big. Here is the inside of the purse. It has one large compartment with a side pocket. The bag zips closed at the top. I like my purses to have zippers to keep everything safe.

A side view of the gusset, do you see the zipper pull?

And the back of the purse is pieced with two different fabrics. I think it adds more interest. This was a class by Agnes Quilts, she has some wonderful designs and is a fantastic teacher. Her finishing techniques are worth the price of taking a class.

Happy Quilting.

Finished and Almost Finished

I feel like I have too many things close to being finished. My scrappy 4 patch quilt is completed finally....well its a fimsy anyway. I've been trying to get this one sewn for a few weeks especially since it was only the sashing than needed done. The blocks have been ready for months. It didn't help that I got food poisoning last week and a cold the week before that. I'm so much better now. No more colds for me! 

The top border is really done, it's just not in this picture, I was trying to get some pictures when the light was good and it was before the last border went on. This quilt is a nice lap size, I love how it turned out. Those little white squares are finished at 1".

Again another project so close to being finished. I started this notion organizer at a class before Xmas, it only needs the binding at this point. It took so long because the zipper was tricky and I was waiting for the instructions. I'll show the inside next time, it' has pockets to keep everything in one place.

At least the purse is a more resent class a couple weeks ago before all the sickness but look it's still waiting for zipper and handles. I feel like there are too many things going at once and nothing to show. So there you go a few almost finished projects. I hope to have something more finished next time.

Happy Quilting.

Little Things

In between messing around with the kitchen reno's,  I've managed to make a couple of little gifts. These little zippy wallets have gone to their new owners. They are fun to make, sorry I can't remember the blog I found these on, I made a few little changes to my version.

And this little summer purse I made for a quilt shop sample. The pattern is all about how it's folded. There is a pocket on either side for keys and cell phone and a snap on the inside center pocket to carry your wallet.You can find the pattern here. I'm so pleased with how this turned out.

Hopefully I can get back to visit all you bloggers very soon.
Happy Quilting.
