Finishing
Up and Starting More-
This last
weekend was a great weekend for getting a few little projects done. Saturday
was spent with my good friend Lexie. We visited one of my favorite shops, then
headed south to see our friends’ new home.
While at the quilt shop I was asked to teach a bag class, and even got
put on the class schedule for February. It was so wonderful- made me smile even
more that day! While visiting our friend, Eileen, even though we finished off a
pitcher of margaritas for lunch we were able to visit another quilt shop. They
had moved the shop recently, and were
having a customer appreciation event at their new location. I picked up this
pattern-
And I even ended up making one of these on Sunday. Super
fast, super easy.
I also found some
great pig fabric for a pillow case for someone for Christmas-is this not
adorable fabric? If there was a baby somewhere in my future I would have bought
the whole line- very cute faces on these critters-
Sunday while I was
waiting for Amber to come over to help me bake, I finished up a few of these
cute bags-
Now, when I started these little bags I had no
idea they were made using templates. While not a total hater of templates, I
would prefer not to work with them for the most part. After spending a damn
hour and half screwing around with these f---ing raindrops I finally decided I
could not figure out how to make them without the templates, so I traced the
silly things off onto template plastic and proceeded to make these damn bags. They were
fun to do- even with all the bitching and moaning coming out of my woman
cave (see there is a reason I have a door on my room) and her directions, as
always, were great.
I am looking forward
to another sewing weekend!
Sew on my friends, sew on!
