Happy Mothers day, finishes and WIPs

Hello Everyone,

A Very Happy Mothers Day out there to you all, whether you celebrate or not, I am wishing you all a lovely day.

Happy Spring! or Winter, where ever you happen to be. It's lovely here, the grass is green, the flowers are blooming and trees leafing out. We are having warm, sunny days, and some cool, rainy days. So a nice mix.

I finished my DD's purse awhile back, and haven't shown it off. So here it is.



I also finished this wall hanging for my chiropractor, she loves it :) and has it hanging at her place of employment.



I've been working on these economy blocks as brainless sewing. I don't have enough energy to finish quilting on my quilt right now, so have been doing this between other projects.



Just using up pieces in my scrap box. I will sit down a few times a year and cut up my scrap into usable squares. My square box was getting full so I took these out.

The middle squares start at as 1.5", then I use 2.5" squares cut on one diagonal for the next round and 3" squares for the next. I don't know if I will keep going with these, or if I will just make a table runner with the ones I have done so far. We'll see how bored I get with it, lol.

And I made these birds for a swap on my forum. These were fun to make, but the pattern was wrong on some of it's measurements. Thankfully I had made a few test blocks, so I was able to figure it out so the blocks measure 12.5" unfinished.  I got the pattern charmingtribe.com



Thanks for stopping by, have a lovely day!

Opposites attract blog hop


Hello All,

Today is my day on another fun blog hop by Marian! Opposites attract, we can only use three colors.  The Fat Quarter shop is giving away $25 gift certificate, every day! AND  DJ Inkers is giving away a CD (go to Marian's site for that one) every day!

I've been seeing these purples and greens (and a bit of white, see it on the flowers) all around my Ridge for the past few months.



And I thought how beautiful there are together like that, so I put them together in a project.




This is my FQ bag. (This is my third bag, I just love this pattern. I do have it as a PDF, but haven't put it up for sale anywhere... yet... maybe one day...) I've revised it a bit, using some interfacing to make all the pieces slightly stiff. Added a wider strap. This purse hangs very comfortably right on top of my hip.



 And this time I did some patchwork and fmqing on the outer pockets. Using some lovely Kona solids (Wow, that bit of matching colors on the side seam was not intentional. lol)

 My bit of white is the zipper, keeps my wallet in place, and anything else I want secure in a zip pocket.



And a tiny bit here on the pocket and under side of strap. Perfect for phone, pad and pencil, whatever.



One more picture.



And now for the giveaway, a $25 gift certificate to the Fat Quarter shop! WOOHOO! Please enter the rafflecopter to have a chance at winning.
