Here is the quilted zipper bag that I made for my mom. I asked her to send me a fat quarter of her choice and I selected a coordinating fat quarter out of my stash to use as the lining. I love her flowers and she is going to love the quilting. I can't wait to give this bag to her.
Here is the quilted zipper bag that I made in my class for my new sewing machine. The quilting was done by lengthening the squiggly stitch and stitching diagonals with the seam guide attachment. We praticed with out new zipper foot and put a white zipper in the bag. After finishing our bags, we received ribbons for the zipper pull-tab with the store's name on it. My favorite quilt store is Quilter's Choice in Jupiter, FL. The bag will carry my blow dryer when I travel. I love it!
Here is a quilt for myself that I have started putting together with two different jelly rolls that I purchased off of e-bay. This quilt is going to be so bright. I have some cream fabric that will be used for the inner border and then more of the floral strips will be used to make another border. I may add an outer cream border as well. A cream and maroon print will be used as the backing fabric and the binding.
Here is a new photo of the birds that are near my sewing area. This is Blue Bird and Ling. Most of the time, they are constantly chattering with the birds outside. Right now, they are on their perches being quiet. What a difference a treat makes!
These are the fleece blankets that I gave my grandsons as part of their Christmas gifts this year. They are large in size, have cute bright writing and are ever-so-soft. For my son's son, Trent, I finished the blanket by folding up the sides to create a double layer, then I zigzaged all the way around and I fringed the edges. For my daughter's son, Tristen, I finished the blanket by folding up the sides, zigzaged all the way around, cut every 1/2" to make loops, and interlocked the loops together. These babies can enjoy their matching blankets together and their parents can still tell these blankets apart.
