OooOo....it's all coming back to me now...

I'm so excited.  This week I have been able to create, be inspired and SEW!

I need a spring purse badly!!  I want something very specific, but unfortunately, due to lack of fundage, I can't swing the one I want/desire or purchase the fabric that I want through other means.  Thank goodness I do work at a quilt shop and Moda's new line called Frolic will work ok for now.

Well, I copied my current purse's design and made my pockets bigger to fit my iphone and then being creative, make it reversible!   I also added 4 pockets.  Using the light fabric for my spring side and the brown for fall...now I need a summer purse, but I can wait on that one :)





Now, I'm back in the groovy, it's time to do some planting.....it's gorgeous here in Maryland!

Things for the shop....

I've been in a sewing mood, well I actually had time this past week to catch up on a few things and one thing that has been sitting on my sewing table was the challenge fabric from the shop.  We give out fat 16th's to our customers and then bring in a 12 1/2 unfinished block for a contest.  We then in turn make those blocks into soemthing for Project Linus.  The finished blocks are voted on by the customers and that part is currently going....I'm way behind.  So, I figured I would just whip up a few blocks using the most of the fabric and get them turn in:





Next thing I've done for the shop is our owner challenged the workers to make something with this fabric. 

This batik was designed and made especially for our Quilters Quest Shop Hop in November.  This color way is ONLY available at any of our 12 participating shops.  Our shop has about 5 bolts ---it's very unique to the DC area and it is a Timeless Treasure fabric.  I decided to make a bag with it.  The pattern is Wallet & Grommet, by Maple Island Quilts.



I know it's missing the grommets, but that will be fixed.  I have to get the grommets from work :)
