Saturday Sewing

I loved that finished Lorax quilt. I decided to make a mini star quilt out of October Afternoon fabric. I went to reach for the white, but opted to use some linen I had. I like the results. My husband didn't care for the muted tones ... but I do. It isn't my normal.

Goodie bag toppers

I whipped up these cute, personalized goodie bag toppers the other day. I thought they turned out very cute!

Finally finished

Backing pieced. Quilted. Binding done. Ready to deliver. Love it. Finally.

Paper crafting

Well, I haven't had the sewing itch in sometime, but mom and I have been enjoying making cards. And, I did make some bookmarks for reading month fun. What projects are keeping you busy?

Lorax baby quilt- giant star

Working on this baby quilt. Used a quilt I pinned in Pinterest as my inspiration piece. I used 11 squares if fabric to start with. A quick and cute quilt top. I also pieced the backing. Happy holidays!

New Bag

I wanted to make my student teacher a bag. She leaves us this week, and we will miss her. She is a remarkable person. This bag turned out darling. It had a lot of fabric though...pretty thick, but very sturdy! Fabric: Amy Butler. Pattern: Penelope Ruffles by Izzy and Ivy.

Headbands for a good cause

I had today off work, so I worked on these headbands. I am donating them to a silent auction benefitting my friend's husband. He went from being this youthful 30ish man, who was quite fit and ran all the time to a man haunted with head pain, instability (uses a cane), and has recall problems. No one seems able to help him. He has been to many hospitsls. Now he has a trip lined up to Mayo. I hope they can help. I hope someone bids on these at the auction, too. Happy thanksgiving!
