christmas purse close up
Close up shot showing the quilting and the stitching on the band made from Moda bias binding.
christmas quilted purse
I just finished a purse to carry myself during the holiday season for Christmas.
My Bosal interfacing friend Drew sent me some thin foam to use instead of interfacing. I assume the best way to use it is to quilt the inside and outside fabric together.
It turned out great, and I was thrilled with the results. I used a french seam to finished where joining sides and bottom and installed magnetic snaps on tabs I made and sewed the tab only to the top band on the inside. I have been wanting to try that for ages.
The bag has shape and no bulk and went together quickly.

Moda toweling to make christmas tea towels
Isn't this beautiful cotton towel fabric? I think you could make napkins too or even use it for a tote bag. I love Moda fabric. Looking forward to Christmas.

somehow they all turned out alittle different
I made baby bibs today!!!!!!!Such fun. I got the pattern free from chickpea online. I have a great niece and a great friend's daughter I am making these for. I started out with the baby bag-Marlee Bag I designed for my niece. Now I have moved onto bibs.
I also made the crayon caddies for the ones alittle older in the family.
Now I am waiting for the Happy Stacker pattern by Heather Bailey.
Not enough time in the day to sew. My dear mother, God rest her soul, loved to sew too and it is a shame she didn't live long enough to see me sew. Maybe she sees it anyway.

Inside with pocket
This one is going off to Maine to a little 3 year old girl. Holds crayons and a big pocket for important papers. I used the Moda Birdie fabric inside and out and Bosal fusible fleece.
calendar holder--inside
I am all ready for 2010 with my new Moda calendar in a holder I made. I used the Moda Birdie fabric by me and my sister which I dearly love. I love pink and green together too.

birdie sling
Today i finished the second birdie sling I made for dee dee. I love the way it turned out. The fabric is free spirit and lovely. I love Amy Butler's patterns, because she goes into a lot of detail, and I am a detail person. Thanks to her Stash and Dash pattern I learned to put in zippers. I attended her school house session in 2008 at the International Quilt Market and she was delightful and so down to earth. Very natural person.

Al Fresco fabric using Birdie Sling pattern by Amy But;ler
I made this for DeeDee's mother or daughter I don't know which. I made DeeDee one and she loved it so much, and when she took it home her family wanted one too. So, sheasked me to make her a green one and I did. I love this Marcus fabric called Al Fresco. This is my favorite bag pattern and I always make myself one every season or so.
