What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I saw some progress on sewing projects this week. I finished the boro bag.

I used fusible fleece instead of interfacing because I wanted the bag to have enough structure to protect the project inside. It added a lot of bulk, the trade off for getting what I wanted.

I also cut out a shirt. I must have washed that fabric a couple months ago. Let’s hope the sewing goes faster.

I didn’t add any fabric, but did make a final trip to Joann’s. My usual store is one that got a truckload of yarn. That took ...

No change in the numbers.

I returned to stitching this week because it was too warm to work on the afghan. I started crocheting the next to last afghan section, which means the end is in sight. It’s huge, about twin size, and impossible to work on without a pile of it in my lap.

I’m also making a project bag out of the boro piece. Everything is cut, fused and ready for assembly. A finish this week would change next week’s numbers.

Hello everyone!

Long time no see, I know, but here I am!

I'm so happy to tell you a few things about my new bag pattern! The name speaks for itself: 

Easy-peasy all-in-one Yoga Bag. 

It is a special bag pattern. 

What makes this pattern special? When you look at the bag, you don't see anything special in its appearance. It has a common shape. What makes it different is its interior. I'm particularly proud of two things I managed to work out in this pattern: on the one hand, the built-in lower space (not added as ...

Last Tuesday, I shared my newest pattern, the Sugar Skull quilt block. I tested the pattern using the Good Spirits fabric by Ruby Star Society. It’s their Halloween line, which hit stores a few months ago. If you follow me on Instagram, you’d know that I used this fabric for a quilt-along with the Fat Quarter Shop. A couple of months back, I made a door hanging with this fun fabric line.

Since I didn’t have any plans for the quilt block and still had some leftover fabric, I decided to turn it into something. I settled ...

There are a lot of times when I just need a bag.  A simple lunch bag that will hold a few snacks, not leak, can fold flat and get tucked away, and perfect for just grabbing and going.

This free lunch bag pattern– the Simple Lunch Bag is just that!  It’s just the right height…and because it’s a flap it’s adjustable.  The boxed corners give you a bottom that can hold a sandwich size container, plus a bunch of other goodies piles on top.

 It is the time of year again and as usual, I have left it quite late... although the 2 first presents which will be gifted tomorrow are already wrapped and ready to go and a third one is also finished! The end of the school year is fast approaching so it is high time I finally make the presents. Once again I have opted for the tried and trusted Open Wide Pouch pattern by Noodle Head, I am not sure how many I have made through the years but quite a few. This year I decided to make the smallest ...
