LOTS O' BAGS

I found an amazing site, look (top) RIGHT at the side bar for a link to " DIY" 
many many tutorials for bags.  Awesome! I have many bag patterns and 
now this resource. Time to make a new bag or five.

BIG QUILTS

 This quilt measures 122" x 107". I mentioned in a previous blog, quilts are getting bigger.  Families are acquiring large pillow topped mattresses. I can remember when a larger bed may have been useful in my home...3 kids and pets, but this nest is empty now.
 I had to fold top edge, in order to photograph it...didn't want the all white back to find any dust bunnies (rhinos) behind the bed.  It took a long time to quilt or so it seemed, one row took 2 + bobbins.  The bobbin winder got a workout (smile)

Wishing you all a happy Monday,

Hidden Treasurers

I belong to a small group of like-minded fibre artists.  We work around a theme and challenge
ourselves to step out of our 'boxes'  .This is where you will find us.
I invite you to have a look at our first completed challenge.
Happy Saturday

Hand made Buttons

Just a little bit of interest...
I have been known to do 'crazy quilting', and so have collected bits and bobs to that end.
 Look what I found. They were not  what I was looking for, but  I am glad I ran across them.

Happy Tuesday~

Log Cabin Hearts.... no more trouble here.

No more trouble here, and I didn't have to frog. (ripit ripit) Whew! That was too close for comfort, ripping stitches out is a very tedious chore, as I am sure you either know or can imagine.

 I am so pleased that the quilt turned out as nice as it did.  No reason it should not have, really.  It started out pretty and though it was smaller through the middle than  at the ends, and  yes I created an additional headache for myself...it is a really pretty quilt soon to be bound in a soft pink...wish it was mine.

Happy Sunday,
