BREEZE FABRIC QUILT BLOCKS - MY NEW PROJECT

Breeze fabric is so bright and cheerful and fun that I couldn't resist making a quilt. I'm using the fat quarter pack that we sell in the shop for this quick and easy quilt. It's really an easy and fun one. I'll put up a photo of the finished top and if you like it and want them, I'll put the instructions for how to make this top on the blog. Fun for the weekend! Although I'm tempted to make another Bella bag....

TWEET TWEET BAG I MADE IN AN AFTERNOON!

Okay, I made another bag from the Bella Bag pattern from Anka's Treasures! They are so easy and fast to make (about 2 hours not counting the quilting). If I wasn't so busy, I'd be making another one right now. I made this bag from Tweet Tweet fabric which we sell in the shop and used the big grommets again. This was so much fun to make I just had to show you. I just keep looking around thinking "I could make a bag from this fabric or that fabric...."

FREEBIRD FABRIC TOTE BAG - WHAT I DID THIS AFTERNOON

I LOVE Freebird fabric by MoMo for Moda that we are selling in the shop! Here's the totebag I'm in the middle of making out of this great fabric from the Bella Bag pattern from Anka's Treasures! I love it! I just have to make the handles. I used the Freebird fabric butterflies for the lining and used the big--really big grommets. This was so much fun to quilt that I think I'm going to make a baby quilt and not piece any of it--just quilt it.
