Lined Drawstring Backpack Pattern Sneak Peek from A Beautiful Day - O Zi Frumoasa

I am so happy when I have to make bags or pouches but it takes me a long time to choose the fabrics and almost every time I think I don't have the right ones.

When designing a bag, first of all I think to be useful: to be spacious enough, but not too large, to have as many pockets as possible, placed as handy as possible, to be worn as comfortable as possible. After all these I look for the aesthetic aspects of the shape.

Two years ago, a friend asked me to sew two drawstring backpacks ...

Nail Polish Bottle Zipper Bag Tutorial from Michelle's Romantic Tangle

You know how they put displays in the checkout line so that things will jump into your cart? The Dollar Tree had glittery red vinyl pencil cases and as soon as I picked one up I knew I wanted to cut it apart and sew something with it. It came home with me.

It took half the drive home for me to figure out that I was going to make a zipper bag shaped like a nail polish bottle, and another couple of days to figure out that I'd need a second red glittery pouch and a black one ...

A NEW GAME BAG from ATTIC WINDOW QUILT SHOP

Hello Quilters! I hope everyone is staying warm and getting lots of sewing done, especially if you live in the Midwest where you should not be outside anyway. I hope to get a lot of sewing done these next few days because it looks like we're in for a long haul of cold snowy weather here in Michigan. I do have something to show you. I made this bag for my granddaughter, who obviously went to Michigan State University.

A few years ago I took a class at the Attic Window Quilt Shop from Vickie S. where we made ...

Last Quilty Project for the Year from Indigo Threads

It's the end of the year, and I've got one last blog post for 2018.

I hope everyone had a happy Christmas and have been enjoying the holidays. On the 20th we watched our granddaughters dance in their ballet school's Nutcracker selections. They both dance on-point now and they each had their first solos! A very exciting time for them!

We had a great time Christmas Eve at our oldest son's home with his family, and then a quiet day on Christmas, just the 3 of us at home. It will be a quiet New Year ...

Frank is FINISHED! from The Cozy Quilter

Today is the last Slow Sunday Stitching day of 2018. In April, I started a counted cross stitch project, Fountain Glass, a stained glass window designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. This past week, I finished the last few silver outlining stitches and this picture is done!

This project represents a lot of time spent stitching in the car, in the gazebo and on the couch.

I now have three counted cross stitch pictures finished and waiting for framing. (two FLW windows and the snowmen) I will make getting these framed and up on the wall a priority in the new ...
