Beautiful Birds blog hop

Hello All,

It's my day today, to show you what I made with this Beautiful Bird fabric by Elizabeth's studio's.
Thank you to Lana, for being such a great hostess and keeping us going while our wonderful Samm is concentrating on personal matters.

My sweet friend Pat sent me a panel of the Birds and one of the tree, and as soon as I received it, I thought it would look great on a bag or two. Here's the fabrics I choose to go with the bird panel. Which I fussy cut.

My family of 6 are big readers, especially my daughter and I. And when we go to the library, we have to have BIG bags to bring home books for everyone (Even my 3yo loves getting books.)

So I decided to update our library bags. I used my original pattern, but didn't put in the zippered pocket and I used patchwork on the front and back. I also quilted it this time, where as in my original pattern, I just used interface. (It's fun to look at one of my first patterns. It's about time I updated it I think. lol)

After cutting up the tree panel, I decided it wouldn't work right in my pattern. I just used the light green instead. I got the pink bag. I love pink and green together. Each side has different bird prints.

My dd is partial to blue, so I looked thru my fabrics to see what I can use for hers. These bright sunflowers look nice with the Birds too.

These bags are BIG, they are 15" square and 10" wide. So they hold a lot of books.

The straps are sewn all along where they touch the bag, to add strength.

 The pattern is free. If you make one, I would love to see it.

 Thanks for stopping by today. And don't forget to visit the other Ladies and see what beautiful projects they made today.

Making progress

Hello Everyone,

I've gotten in some sewing this week :) Making a bit of progress on some things.

This is the fabric I am using for the Bird blog hop next month ( my day is March 18th) hosted by Samm on Sew We Quilt.

I've got all my pieces cut and have started to sew.

And here is some progress on one of the Round Robins I am doing over on the Q&N forum.

I'm waiting on some fabrics to come in, so I can finish it up and get it sent off to the next person.

I even managed to get some charity blocks and some blocks for 2 Quilt of Valor quilts made!

Speaking of the Q&N forum, it's that time again, time for a Mystery.

You can get your pattern for this mystery quilt here. And kits. I will not be sewing it this time around, too much else I need to sew. But Jess's mystery weekends are always great.

Have a great day!

Linking up with Lorna today. Thank you Lorna!

What I'm working on

Hello Everyone!

I hope you all in the snowy states are staying warm. You sure are getting walloped this year. We've had some unusual rain/wind for February here. But it's good, we sure do need it. I hope we get some nice snow in a month or so :) And now more sunshine.

I have this pretty Fall quilt to work on. It's for our Round Robin on the Q&N forum. This one is Dawn's.

I have my fabric picked out and cut. So need to get to sewing more.

My good friend Pat sent me some Beautiful Bird fabric panels(thank you sweetie). So I have to get going and figure out what I want to make with it. It's for the Bird blog hop next month.

I have some backing and batting, so I am ready to sand which my dd's quilt together too.

That should keep me busy in the sewing room for awhile, yes?! lol

What are you up to?

Have  a great day!
