HURRAY! I finally got some sewing done!

I've been kinda puny for a few days and haven't felt very good, but finally got a chance to sew and worked on some simple sling style bags to put in my Etsy store. My favorite one is the turquoise zebra stripe with the embroidery on the front. Then there is a froggy one, pastel pink flower patchwork one, & Autumn leaves one. There's many more ideas swimming around in my head for these simple, yet practical bags for using as a purse or for shopping bags, so am sure you'll be seeing more of 'em as time goes on.

They look smaller than they are in the picture, as I was trying to get them all squished together for just one picture. They are 20" tall x 12" wide....nice medium size....fully lined.

Which one do you like the best?

BOUGHT SOME NEW FABRICS!

I saw these fabrics a couple days ago, and just had to buy them with plans of making purses/bags out of them. What do ya'll think?? With Summer upon us, I was thinking flowers and bright colors! Now just have to get back to the sewing room and make them.

Thanks for visiting my blog!

LAVENDER ROSES THIS TIME!

MODA LAVENDER ROSES FABRIC!

My sister, Jerre, my niece and I all went to a couple more of the quilt shops on the Bluebonnet Patchwork Trail Shop Hop yesterday and I found the perfect button for this lavender rose bag. We had a real good time, and saw lots of beautiful quilts, great fabrics, wonderful inspiration for new projects. Bought a few fat quarters, a new Moda charm pack, and another pattern book for bags/purses/totes........stay tuned to see more.

I am really enjoying making all of these purses/totes and here is one from Moda fabrics called Sanctuary by 3 Sisters (sooooo appropriate, since I am always talking about us 3 sisters.) It will be for sale in my store on ebay too! Great detailing on this one; notice the side pocket for your sunglasses, and front pocket for your keys or cell phone.

Go to my Ebay store to see more pictures of the details:

Sewing Expo Was Great!

The Sewing Expo yesterday was a lot of fun and it did just what it was supposed to do.....it got the creative juices going for me with great inspirational ideas for new quilts, scenes, purses, jackets, and lots of embroidery work! Can hardly wait to make this new cape jacket and new purse pattern I bought....yippee!! Cindy Losekamp is one of my FAVORITE designers and I bought her book Serenity Landscapes & CD and she was there to sign it for me. I have a few of her other books & CD designs and have had such fun with them. She is one creative lady, for sure!





Came home & worked on the Angel BOM quilt and did some machine applique stitches on it. Have more work to do on it. Then I embroidered two dish towels for my niece's birthday on Sunday.





Here's my original Hearts Valentine Table Runner Quilt Pattern I have posted on Ebay right now on auction for 99 cents.....easy & great for beginners.
