Purse #2

I just needed to do one more thing today :)  I have been feeling lousy all day long (since I woke up at 5:30am this morning :p)  Sewing is a nice distraction from ill/icky/not-really-sickness.  I did a stipple quilting all over and used TONS of interfacing.  It can stand on it's own.  I like it :)  I put one REALLY large pocket inside along one whole side with 2 sewn divisions, to make 3 pockets.  On the other side (of the inside), I put a large pocket too.  You can never have enough pockets in a purse ;D  ..especially if this ends up being a "church" bag :)  I like it a lot.  I may need to make another for me.... ...yes, this is a gift ;) 

 

The inside pockets.  The blue is much more deep than it shows in this picture.  I should get a good camera.... and yet, I am pretty happy I have one at all, most days ;)

Table Runner #2

I got home from my friends birthday party last night and just had to make me one too.  I didn't have anymore of the yellow fabric so I decided to cut into my Little Apples stash.  It was a bit scary, but I am SO happy with how it turned out.  I wasn't sure what to do for the binding but after much deliberation and an opinion here and there from the peanut gallery, I decided on this Half Moon Aqua Medallions print.  I fussy cut at bit here and there.  The boys love the little hedgehog, turtle and squirrel in the center of the blocks.
I still have a ton of Little Apples left.  I think I need another bag :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Heat Resistant Table Runner

It's my bff's birthday today and I just had to make her something special.  I thought the heat resistant table runner that I saw last week HERE at (adayinthelifeofamissionarywife.blogspot.com) would be PERFECT!  I spent an hour locating the yellow border fabric.  I knew it was somewhere, but where?  I just have to say that I LOVE THIS TABLE RUNNER!  It's so cute!  Since it was for my friend, I had to take it over to another friend to show :)  I used the heat resistant batting from Walmart.  I am going to make one for myself TOMORROW!!  I've got a few leftover Little Apples jelly roll that will work PERFECTLY!! :)  My son wanted to know what it spelled out in the blocks. I hadn't realized how much they look like letters :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After the washing :D

I LOVE how the quilts look after washing. They are so soft and cozy!

My name :) There is a year on it too.

Over the Rainbow is done :)

I just have to say that I LOVE THIS QUILT!!! It's in the washer right now and then back into the closet to hide until Kate's birthday. I suppose that Kate could be watching my blog and see it, but I doubt it :)

Quilted.... and binding tonight...

The quilt sandwich

Trying my hand at "stars" :)

I went to the 4th wards quilting class tonight and finished up my binding.  I am really excited.  It is going to be SO cute!!!  I sure hope Kate likes it.  I am not sure that any 14 year old wants a quilt for her 15th birthday ;D I should make her a bunny sweater!  This quilts is going to be SO cute.  If Kate hates it, I'l take it ;D

I got a little off schedule...

This is Kate's quilt for her birthday.  She wanted a rainbow quilt.  This is from the Robert Kaufman collection "Tidbits and Treasures".  I love it :)  I'll finish the $29 quilt tomorrow ;D
