Orange Peel or Pumpkin Seed Quilt...

 

This design goes by several names

Orange Peel and Pumpkin Seed

are two of them...

I am attending an Oregon quilt retreat this week

with the Harlan Valley Quilters.

I am starting a Pumpkin Seed quilt...

The seeds are piling up...

I used the Sizzix Big Shot Plus

to cut out the seed shapes...

The Sizzix made quick work of all

the curved cutting...

Time to play with the seeds

and different background squares...

Tomorrow I will cut and sew some

flying geese blocks

and add them to the design.

Clear Vinyl Zip Cases...

 

I call these...

Peek-a-Boo Bags

This is my second time working with vinyl...

I purchased clear vinyl from Joann Fabrics...

I used a Sizzix Big Shot Plus

to cut the heart shapes from adhesive backed vinyl

then stuck it onto the clear vinyl...

I used some of my orphan beads

to create the zipper pulls...

I sewed zipper tabs onto the ends of the zippers

to keep the top corners of the bags nice and square...

I also squared off the bottom corners

so the bags can stand up on their own...

I am attending a Quilt Retreat in Idaho soon

and will take these along as quilter gifts....FUN !
