Sew Together Bag Maddness

If you haven't already made a Sew Together Bag, you really should try it! Personally I wasn't interested in making one until I saw my friend Mandy's Nightshade version and had to make one myself!

I only used one cameo on the whole bag and added my machine embroidered name to the backside.

And then I thought wow, how fun would those typewriters be on the side? So I made another...
 And I made a southwestern print with black applique for my mom's easter basket.


An inside look at all the zipper pockets!

The pattern was purchased on Craftsy.com and I highly recommend it!

Seven Point Star

Here is my latest project, a seven-point star! I'm really enjoying the EPP (English Paper Piecing) technique and sewing the pieces by hand.

I am excited to add some small applique details as I go, I hope they will add interest and help me make this truly one of a kind.

I had to piece three small scraps together to finish one of the navy points. I don't think it is too noticeable. Thankfully I had just enough!

I was questioning the scrappy pink center, but am loving the choice more and more. I think it helps add some movement. Thank you for looking!

Quilted Zipper Pouch

I just received some half yards of Tula Pink's Fox Field fabric yesterday and knew I had to make some thing fast!. I loved a small zipper cross-body pouch I saw in Patchwork Tsushin and decided to make a simpler version as a zipper pouch. I used fabrics from several Tula Pink fabric lines and paired them with a beautiful Kona Cotton. I won't ever be able to give this away. I love it so much!

Mini Camper Pincushion

How much do you love this pincushion? It's one of three mini camper patterns in Fresh Quilts Magazine Spring/Summer 2014 issue. These are really cute. While reorganizing my scraps I thought I should use some Tula Pink scraps to make this. A little bit of denim cut from jeans alterations made this a little more durable. I also lined the cotton side panels with a lightweight fusible to make it a bit more sturdy. All I need to do is search for some coordinating buttons for wheels and attach a handle for the door.

The pattern was a little confusing but I made the best of it. I absolutely love it!!!

Seminole Patchwork

I've been playing with different Seminole Patchwork designs lately. I think I want to do more of this style.

Here is some work on a larger scale patchwork design.

As I was cutting the strips for this smaller design, I kind of liked the bottom layout. After a quick instagram vote, I decided to keep with the original layout with more black in the center.

My finished block.

Biye' Quilt

This is my newest work Biye' quilt. The Navajo to English translation is "his son." This is a quilt for an old friend who is expecting her first child.

The quilt is backed with a soft and cuddly minky which will keep the baby warm during the winter season.

Marcelle Medallion Quilt by Liberty Love

Well I finally finished my Marcelle Medallion Quilt by Liberty Love! Here is a series of photos with my progression....



I'm going to add additional borders to the top and bottom to make it a longer lap quilt.

TOMS DIY Clutch

If you've purchased a pair of TOMS shoes you likely have one of these little bags or flags lying around. I decided that I wanted to make a small clutch out of the bag.


I also used a print I designed myself to feature on the clutch and also printed it myself. I love the combination!



This was a really easy project and I did not use a pattern for this, just made it up as I went along and used some sew-in flexi-firm for the structure. It took roughly an hour from start to finish including printing the fabric.
