Bags for the Bag Lady (me)

Check out the zipper on the suede bag with my name on it! It has a wrap around zipper. I found the tutorial at AnnTheGran.com . The blue bag was made with ByAnnie.com Soft and Stable stabilizer. See how nice the bag stands up. The material is Pure by Sweetwater. And two little zip-around bags to match. Bag lady heaven!

My Christmas Quilt

I really have been sewing, alot. I just haven't been blogging. It is much more fun to see what everyone else has been doing on their blogs. But here is a little of what I have been doing. I finally got my Fat Quarter Shop Mystery Quilt finished. It is a fun quilt. My LAQ almost didn't give it back she liked it so much.

The tree is an in the hoop embroidery project by PJ sold by Embroidery.com. I am doing a Santa in the hoop now. Cute!

Hope everyone is having a good holiday!

Tea Bags

I made these two little Tea Bags using a pattern in the book "pretty little purses and bags". The pattern is by Laurraine Yuyama. I just had to make one because I really love tea and I thought her's were so cute. You can see all of her fun creations here.

Progress on the String Quilt

I needed inspiration to continue working on my string quilt. So I laid all of my blocks out on the floor (after I vacuumed up the dog hair). This is not the permanent layout, but just a motivator. My husband was in awe of all the colors. I think it will be very snuggly on my bed (and not show the dog hair!).

Win a New Baby Go

Rush on over to MooseStash Quilting to enter for a chance to win a New Baby Go. The Go's are all the rage in the quilting community now. They look like alot of fun. I am so envious of how easy, fast and accurate they make cutting all kinds of shapes. Think of all the quilts you could make! I for one would love to have the Go just for the applique shapes. I love how the machine embroidery digitizers are creating designs to go with the appliques you cut from dies for the Go. Gorgeous!
