Pink Quilt

 I fell in love with this pattern, you can read about it here. I decided to blow it up 100% and this is how the court house step quilt pattern looks like on a larger scale. Nice, huh?

I bought a kona cotton jelly roll, and used 4 of their pinks, I was looking for an ombré look. I think I did achieve it. For the backing I used a beautiful multicolor print from Timless treasures fabrics.

I am also very excited to share that I am getting so much better at this free motion quilting stuff! I had a lot of fun quilting it with minimal frustration, and an acceptable outcome.

I have been holding back on posting it because I was waiting to get good pictures. I just like it so much. It will be hard to see it go. I know some cute little girl will be loving this pretty soon! and that helps.

Black and White Bag

Another beauty from my "big city bags" book. Again, this was made pre-blog, and these are the only two photos I found. Lovely bag!

A bag for Letita

I had originally bought this fabric to make pillow shams, but I haven't explored that area and it was a shame having it sit there for months. So, I put to good use once I bought the book "Big City Bags".

 This was made pre-blog. I am thankful I thought about at least taking these pictures. It now lives with it's new owner, which I just went on a weekend trip with and she brought it with her. I saw it in use! but I forgot to take pictures. This I made for one of my mom's good friend, and why not? my friend too. Do to health issues she has to travel every month and I thought it would be a nicer trip if she flew in style.

A bag for Marcia

My friend sporting her new bag. 

Very smart, kind, and generous, are only a few words to describe Marcia. She is one of the most awesome teachers I know, dedicated and committed to her students' learning and development and some one like that is always in need of a new bag and what better than in a numbers themed fabric.

This was again pre-blog so details and pictures are scarce. I had just purchased my new book "big city bags" and was excited to jump on it and start sewing.

Looks like she loves it...right? Just as much as I love making it for her.
