Project Bag...

Project Bags for Quilters

 

I love this pattern !

I have made 10 of these bags and

plan to make lots more...

This is the back of the bag.

There is foam in between the fabric 

and it is quilted in a grid pattern...

The quilting shows up better on the

green lining fabric...

I have the vinyl cut for the front of the bag...

I have the zipper pieces all ready to stitch...

Just need to stitch the 

front of the bag together...

Here it is bound with the handle attached.

Quilters Project Bag

20 x 20 inches

I have made several for myself and

a few more for my friends and family.

Here is some cuteness for you:

This Baby Bull just melts my heart...

He is the grandson to my very favorite cow,

Golden Girl

  

No more sitting in front of my sewing machine...

I am saddled up to the John Deere

mowing more hay fields.

I have added lots of haying videos

to my instagram account

Catching Up...

 

I recently attended a Quilt Retreat

here in Western Oregon

We had a zipper bag class and these

were my class samples...

Check out the super cute birdie zipper pulls...

I pawed through the fabric cupboard 

and found this donut fabric 

and it was perfect for zipper bags...

From January through May I was stitching

Surgical Scrub Caps

I have made 150 + caps

My son works with a surgical group and

asked me to make him a cap, so I found some

Superman, Batman, Spiderman 

fabrics in the cupboard.

I found a pattern online and away I stitched.

He wore them to work and they went viral.

Before I knew it I was making them for

guys and girls at the surgery. I found some

Wonder Woman fabric for the girls...FUN!

I know a lot more about 

surgical caps than I did a few months ago.

While I was stitching surgical scrub caps,

we were in Calving Season

February, March, April & May

This is our very last pregnant girl...Vicky Junior.

She is a first time heifer and taking her time!

Vicky....let that baby out !

Most of our calves are born black now

as we use Black Angus Bulls.

Check out Baby Sister with her new calf...

Can you say Milk Mouth ?

Mini Card Wallets...

 The holiday workshop is in full swing...

I am making Mini Card Wallets...

with SNAPS  !

I pawed through the fabric cupboards and

found lots of FUN dotty fabrics...

I am lining the wallets with

Shape Flex Fusible Stabilizer...

Shape Flex SF101

I love this interfacing...

It is so nice to work with and gives your

projects so much body with no stiffness at all.

These wallets require one piece of fabric

and one piece of stabilizer

and one snap...

I am sewing assembly line style...

The wallets are all prepped and ready

to sew together.

It just takes a few minutes to stitch

one of these cuties together...

I bought a Kam Snap starter kit

The snaps are super simple to install...

These are FUN to stitch and

you can't stop at just one !

They are the perfect size to hold your

license, credit card & cash

when you don't want to carry a purse around.

They require such little fabric,

I found scraps in my bin

and turned them into wallets...

These will be great stocking stuffers...

You can find the Kam Snaps Kits HERE

You can find the FREE wallet pattern HERE

Go make some !

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

Dumpling Pouch...

 

Dumpling Pouch

also known as a Clam Up Pouch

I keep my quilting clips inside...

Small, Medium and Jumbo clips...

The pouches open wide and make it easy to

grab your clips...

They go together fairly easily and are FUN !

Pellon Fusible Foam helps them stay

sturdy and keep their shape.

I made a few extra as gifts and people

ooh and ahh when you give them away...
