Candy Bag Zip Cases...2021

 

Turn those candy bags into...

Zip Cases


Once people find out you make these 

cute little bags,

they save their candy bags for you.




I haven't made them for over a year,

and the bags were piling up around here...


Here comes the....Show 'n Tell:


I use iron-on vinyl on the outside of the bag...





Nylon zipper at the top of the bag...





The zipper scraps are used as 

a handle on the side...





I add a little zipper pull too...





I layer them with batting and quilt a few

wavy lines on them...





They are super FUN to stitch together...





Everybody smiles when you give them a

zip case...











Start saving up your product bags,

gather up some iron-on vinyl and zippers

and get stitching !

Improv 9 Patch.....Quilt Top Done


This was my summer stitching project:

Improv 9 Patch 


It measures 70 x 80 inches





I stitched it together a few minutes here,

a few minutes there over the summer months...





It is amazing what you can accomplish

with just a few minutes of your time...




I put the wide white borders on it today...

it makes the outer blocks appear to float.

I will paw through the fabric cupboard

and see if a backing jumps out at me.

Saying Good Bye to Summer...

 

We are cleaning out the flower beds...



This is the view out the front door...





The hydrangea are even more beautiful

at this last stage of of blooming...





The blue blossoms have turned pink and purple





I capture lots of images of them this time of year...





I will miss them over the winter months ahead...





These images will keep me inspired 

until next spring...





The rain is coming and the flower beds

need to be put to bed for the winter...





We mulch the flower beds with

lots of leaves from the flowering cherry trees...











The Red Maple trees are still

putting on a show...





They soaked in all of that bright sunshine

all summer long...





Now they are giving it back so us

with all of these bright colors...




I feel as if we are saying

Good Bye to Summer...


You are welcome to use these images

in your personal art work,

if you are so inspired.
