Catching up!

Hi everyone!  I have had so much going on I thought I’d try to catch everyone up with me. 🙂

I finished up the Titan’s bag for my coworker to give to his mom.  I heard she liked it well enough that she started using it almost right away!  That makes me happy.

I also finished up my Modern Quilt Guild Michael Miller fabric challenge entry!  I was pretty excited about that.  I decided to make a lumbar pillow for my sewing room’s chair.  It is just a plane wooden kitchen chair and I needed something.  It’s so bright and pretty!  I love it!

I also got some gym time in.  I have been easing back in since being sick, and I’m up to going to classes now.  I ran into my gym friend who has also been sick and just getting back into classes, and she asked me for three bags!  THREE! 😀 So while I can, I’ve been working away on these bags.  I think theyre coming along pretty well.  I am trying to put all three of them together at the same time instead of one bag at a time like I normally do.

Anyhow, that’s what has been going on with me, lots of sewing!

I hope you’re all having a nice week!  I’m heading to my ten year high school reunion this weekend!  Woohoo!

Until next time, happy sewing!

April showers bring…rain. Just rain! :D

So I wanted this blog to be a tutorial on quilted bags, but that may wait until next week.  I am very excited though because I finished my bag for myself!!

Love my bag 😀

It’s so cute!  And light!  And holds all my stuff!!  I’m in love with my precious bag!

Anyhow, I’m having a splendid day over here.  My friend bought one of my bags, which makes me very happy.  If you saw the blue and white bag on my etsy page, it is gone now!  Off to a happy home!  Don’t worry, I can make at least one more!  Maybe two, I can’t recall right off.  My eldest sister is coming to visit this weekend, so we’re planning a trip to the zoo and stuff with her kids.  So that’ll be fun too!

I’ve also been working on some Alabama bags for my shop.  If a certain little puppy would stop crying for me to stop sewing so he can just sit on me (yes, the struggle is real.) then it would have been finished two days ago.  All my parts are cut out, just waiting to be put together.  Anyhow, that’s really all that’s going on over here.  Just making bags, mentally trying to fix that quilt binding, trying to convince Al that I’m pulling his weight by selling bags so he doesn’t have to work.

“Oh, you want to sew?? I’m going to whimper and look at you with sad eyes until you stop.”

Until next time, happy sewing!
