Custom Made Trendy Tote

This is one of my patterns called "The Trendy Tote".  I have so much fun making this bag and every time I tweak it just a little to make it even better.  This time I made an inside pouch that is detachable.  It's great for holding small items like money or makeup.  This is a custom made bag for a friend's daughter-in-law.  I hope she loves it. The outside fabric is made using an Anna Marie Horner vinyl print...I love her stuff - so cute.

Found Treasures Turned Wedding Gift Picnic Basket

This entry is dedicated to my dear friend Denise at Pinkpostcard - we went treasure hunting together and she spotted a beautiful basket.  After a few minutes of contemplating, I decided to purchase it.  I figured I would keep it and store sewing stuff in it...but it had other plans.  I felt like it was saying "I need to go on picnics".  So I filled it with some "picnic" necessities and gave it to some friends for a wedding gift.  I think it turned out so cute and fun...hopefully lots of "fun, picnic memories" will be made.

T-Shirt Quilt made with Minkie

This fun quilt is made from 1 T-Shirt and lots of Minkie (super-soft fuzzy fabric).  It was so simple to put together.  I guess you could call it a quilt as you go type method.  It will be a shop sample at Greenbaum's Quilted Forest.  I will be teaching the class this fall.
