New Purse

I made myself a new purse, I've been admiring the Thirty-One Gifts purses and decided to make my own version

It's fashioned after their Demi purse but of course I added more pockets to the inside, you just can not have too many pockets!!!

I'm not sure it's quite big enough for me so I'll probably have to go a little bigger to fit everything I think I need to carry with me everywhere!!

Well until next time!

Gift

Well, I did manage to get a gift done for a friends wedding 2 weeks ago

I love doing these for friends and family.  I just think they are appreciated so much more.

Until next time!

Update on Projects

I can't believe it's been more than 2 weeks since I last posted, although I haven't been doing much sewing, I just can't seem to get myself motivated.  I have completed a couple projects, the first one is another special order

This seems to be a very hot item, I think I've made 5 or 6 of these Breast Cancer bags now.

The second thing I've done is made myself a cover for my new toy, a Droid tablet

I'm not tech savvy enough yet to figure out how to take these 2 pictures and make them 1, maybe someday when I can get my son-in-law to come give me some lessons.

I do have another special order, my cousins daughter has ordered an autism fleece blanket, I have a picture in my head of what I want it to look like so we shall see if it turns out.  Hopefully I'll get this done by this weekend and I'll have more pictures to post.

Until next time,

Saturday Sewing

Well Saturday was a great day, I got to sew most of the day and here is what I got completed



I purchased the kit from Quilters Quarters it is called Charmed Heart and you use the Lil Twister to make the pinwheels, I did however buy the Lil Twister from my favorite quilt store A Touch of Thread.  It was really easy and I love how it turned out!!!  Probably the most challenging part was laying out the 5" squares, I did get 2 of the same color side by side but it really doesn't look that bad, and no one at the store noticed it when I showed them the first step in the process.  This is something I will try again.  I've seen several patterns out in blog land that use this tool.

Well check it out and let me know what you think!!

Until next time,

FNSI

I can't believe I haven't posted in a while, I did get some sewing done a week and 

a half ago, but really didn't get anything finished to sew.  I started a rail fence quilt top

to use as a decorative shower curtain, but didn't buy enough material so I had to go

back to the quilt shop and buy more and haven't had a chance to do any sewing since.

I've been hard at work trying to get everything together to file taxes, not my favorite

thing to do, yuck.

I'm hoping to get some sewing done soon so I'll post pictures as soon as I can.

Until next time,

Jodi

Friday Night Sew In

FNSI!!

I can't believe I missed it this month, but then again this month is flying by too quickly.

So I'm gonna have my own FNSI this Friday, hubby will be gone for the

evening so that gives me plenty of time to sew.  I have a couple

projects in mind and we'll see what I get finished.

Hope everyone is having a great day!!

Until next time,

Jodi

Not much happening around here

Sorry I've been AWOL but I cleaned my sewing room and now don't want to go in and mess it up!  Hoping to get some sewing done this the end of this week since I'm going to be home and not able to go anywhere.  I'll keep you updated.

Until next time,

Jodi
