Another week....another project not finished ..haha!!
But it has been a busy week, on lots of different fronts. But I did manage to get some quilting time too.
The magic 4 patch is still in the works....
I really love these colors. They are so soft and pretty.
I spent some time working on the free motion quilting for the "Kiss the Frog" that I made just for me...
I only have enough pins to baste 2 quilts, so that forces me to get busy and do some quilting !! So now only the binding left to do on this pretty little one!
I also have another tote bag in the works. This one is bigger...called a Day-tripper bag. Also a pattern from a magazine.(Izzy & Ivy Design) Also made from home decorator fabric. I love those heavier fabrics for tote bags, it gives them a bit more durability.This one is quite stiff, and has Buckram instead of batting in the layers.
Now I need to find some pretty large buttons for the closure loops....maybe I will go check out Button Mad, they have such cool handmade buttons there.
Projects that are still sitting, and waiting patiently are "Java" and "Daydream" But...
I had to buy (yes..I had to!) some more fabric. I ordered from 1 choice 4 quilting.com.
They had some good sales on, and were so friendly to deal with. Now I am watching my mailbox!!

ReplyDeleteMaybe no finishes, but love the WIP pictures - afterall it started somewheres. Oh, I have indulged in a lot of SALES at different shops - even my local LQS got some of my business. But, too, I need some finishes before I play in the new!
