Zip Cases...

Santa's Workshop is in full swing !

 

I am making zip cases...

Great gift for the guys...

Shave Cream, razors, toothbrush & paste

Perfect opportunity for pulling out

all the great wild life fabrics in the cupboard...

We have a John Deere fan in our family...

this is perfect for him

These zip cases are so roomy.

I lined them with fusible foam

to help them keep their shape...

This was a fat quarter size scrap I had leftover

from a  previous project...

it worked great for this zip case !

Just had to show you both sides of this case...

Side 1   Bear & deer

Side 2  Moose

Found a fat quarter size scrap of cupcakes...

great for a girl's make up bag 

or hair accessories.

I am pawing through the fabric cupboards

and scrap bag to find more fabrics

for more zip cases....I am on a roll !

This pattern is called:  Good Luck Pouch

You can find it at CenterStreetQuilts on Etsy

It is very well written and easy to follow

Quilt Retreat...

 

I attended Quilt Retreat here in

Oregon last week...

I decided to work on a few gifts

for the holidays...

This sewing machine cover is great FUN!

We did it as a class project, and most

everyone at the quilt retreat participated...

I also continued making ipad zip cases...

Each case has a matching tiny zip case

to hold the charging cord...

The Pellon Fusible Foam helps the zip

case to keep its' shape and is very sturdy...

I used zippers by the yard...

they are so nice to work with and you

can cut exactly the size zipper you need.

The holiday gifts are piling up...

and they are FUN to make !

Garden Tea Party Quilt...

 

Time to get a binding on this quilt...

I place the folgers can on the floor 

between my feet and the binding 

feeds beautifully up and onto 

the quilt as I stitch it in place.

Binding clips hold the binding in place

as I stitch it down...

Almost done stitching the binding...

always a great feeling !

She's all bound and ready to go...

It was raining today, so I couldn't take her

outside for a full length photo shoot...

Machine quilting close up view:

Swirls and flower petal motifs...

This was a FUN one to machine quilt...

Always a great feeling to get a quilt 

to completion...

This quilt is on its' way to someone

who has had surgery and now radiation.

I hope it brings her comfort and peace

when she needs it most.

Garden Tea Party...Machine Quilting

I started this quilt top in June...

 

Garden Tea Party Quilt

I am absolutely in LOVE with these

gorgeous floral fabrics....

They are so feminine and lovely...

I basted the quilt last week

and it is time for machine quilting...

80 x 97 inches

I have been machine quilting with this sit-down

Handi Quilter Sweet Sixteen for 15 years...

large quilts are a breeze with my big girl machine !

Those dark blue clamps hold up the quilt

so there is no drag while I am pushing it around

under the needle...

quilting feathers makes me happy...

feathers, flowers and swirls.....FUN !

Now, let me get back to my quilting

so I can get this beauty finished up...

More to Come !
