Charm Bag (in progress)

First an Apology to Patw...  Pat I am so very sorry for inadvertently deleting your comment!  Not sure how I did that,but I did :(  Do not worry though,you will still be entered in my Giveaway,but I do need a way to contact you in case you win :)

This is the charm bag(in progress)one side of it anyway :)

This will be the other side of the bag.  As you can see there are six charms across the main part of the bag,so it will be a good size bag when finished.

These goodies are a surprise gift from the lovely Daphne,over at Ivy,Phyllis and Me if you have not visited her blog you should!  She posts the most amazing recipes :) Thank you Daphne,I love them!

Recently Jamie sent me a package with all of this Sweet fabric and basket!  I am so blessed with bloggy friends :)

This pile of scraps is the result of squaring up 168 HST (half square triangles) this afternoon!  Which are for one of my secret projects!

Scraps to Hair Barretts

Here it is the middle of the week already,and what do I have to show for it???  Not much,it has been too hot to hang out in the sewing room.

Last week when cutting up all the jeans for the potholder pockets I came across a pair of overall shorts,that had Tweety rivets.  I cut them off and set them aside,to wait for inspiration to come to me.  Well last night it did!

These 4 all finished and ready to list in my shop,I still have two more to make as there were six rivets on the overall shorts.

These fabrics were pulled for a little project I hope to get to sometime this weekend ;)

Goodies from Anna Maria Horner's visit to my quilt guild last friday evening!  She brought along some lovelies in case we wanted to purchase something :)

My Indian Summer charm swap goodies arrived late last week!!!!  The FQ bundle from Pink Chalk Fabrics that coordinates beautifully with the charms :)  My head is swimming with ideas for these beauties!

When I arrived home at lunch a few more sunflowers were blooming,this is the first dark colored one!

Interested in a game of peek-A-boo?  It looks like this little pretty is :)

Have a great Thursday :)

"The Beast"(my car) has been in dire need of a trash bag,so this week I whipped one up.  Nothing fancy,but it does feature my favorite color :)

Holiday Flourish by Peggy Toole for Robert Kaufman,these are the two fabrics I picked for the Christmas in July 5" Charm Swap !

All squared up,now all I need to do is collate them slip them in an envelope and ship them off :)

Speaking of Christmas in July,remember this block? (from last October)

Here it is with two of my other favorite Christmas blocks also from last year.  This last week I Modge Pogded them onto canvas boards.  This winter they are going to adorn my sewing walls :)

A parting shot of one of my lilies :)  Happy Friday a couple hours early ;)

Sugar and Spice in a box

The minute I first saw a boxy pouch in blog land,it went onto my, I want to sew that List!  Of course that was sometime last year... This weekend it was finally time to make one of these cute little pouches. What can a girl say,when the list is long,keeps getting longer,and rearranged,sometimes on a daily basis!  

Actually,I just started off playing around with my scraps of Sugar and Spice.  A few weeks ago some of those scraps were turned into two string blocks.  So Saturday ten more of those little guys were sewn up :)  They are 5 x 5 (charm) squares.  I love this line,and have a hard time throwing away even the smallest pieces.  So,after squaring the charms up,the leftover pieces were used to make some smaller blocks.

The inside seam still needs to be hand sewn closed,because it seems that it is time to restock on some colors of thread!  Although this little pouch turned out much smaller than planned,I am loving it :)  The measurements are 3 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 3.

My little boxy pouch started out as a braided block,another one checked off the list!  This is quite fun to sew up and so easy too :)  There are two more waiting to become boxy pouches!

Here are all the little goodies that came out of scraps!!!  One 4 1/2 inch block,one 5 x 5 block,one 3 1/2 block,two 2 blocks,twelve 2 1/2 blocks,and lastly twelve 5 x 5 (charm) string blocks.  There are still some scraps left to play with ;)  They just might find their way into a future giveaway :)
