Ric Rac Zip Bags...

I have been collecting JUMBO Ric Rac... 

It is time to put it to good use...

I pieced together a couple of fabrics

for zipper bags...

This red jumbo Ric Rac works

nicely on this zipper bag...

I used the leftover red zipper as a handle

and added a lady bug zipper pull...

I lined the bag with green bubble fabric...

I pawed through the fabric cupboard and found

small odds and ends for more bags...

These fabrics and ric rac work well together

and I added an orange mushroom zipper pull...

I squared off the bottom so the bag

stands on its own...

It is good to use up the bits and pieces

of fabrics and the ric rac...

Now there are two !

I have made several more, just need to

snap a few more photos to share with you...

More To Come !

Vintage Camper Zip Cases...

I finished up the last of the

Vintage Camper Zip Cases 

A dozen zip bags ready

for gift giving this holiday season...

I added camper zipper pulls

to complete them...

It is good to get that 

feeling of completion !

The flower beds are all cleaned out

and put away for the winter months...

this was the last flower standing.

Happy Autumn !

Candy Corn Zip Cases...

I am attending a Quilters Halloween Party

 

Won't this zip case make a great 

Trick or Treat for the Quilters !

First I found the Candy Corn beads

and made some zipper pulls...

Then I found the Candy Corn fabric...

I stitched together enough zip cases

for all of the Quilters...

You guessed it...

I plan to fill them with Candy Corn !

I have been on a zip case stitch-a-thon lately...

not sure how long it will last ?

Each morning we are greeted by these beauties...

They are always glad to see us...

and the hay we bring them.

We are weaning their calves this weekend

and they won't like that very much.

Zip Cases...Vintage Campers

I found this Vintage Camper fabric

at Hobby Lobby this summer... 

I am making zip cases...

I cut it into 7 x 10 inch rectangles.

I ironed it onto Pellon Fusible Foam

and rounded up a few zippers...

The zippers are cut to length

and I added zipper tabs at both ends...

This is the completed zip case:

Vintage Camper Zip Case

The cut off ends of the zippers

make great handles...

This dahlia is one of the last

from the flowerbeds.

All of the prep work is done...

when I get a few minutes to myself

I can run into the Thread Shed and

stitch together a zip case or two.

Reflections of Autumn...

I began cutting and piecing this

Reflections of Autumn

quilt November of 2022 

10 months later...it's on our bed !

Just in time for autumn...

This 10 inch wide leaf border is the

reason I fell in love with this fabric line

and created this quilt...

I mitered the corners on the border

and it turns the corner flawlessly...

Close-Up view of the quilting...

Glad this one is done just in time

to enjoy it this autumn.

Summer left us very quickly this year.

We have had 4 inches of rain in 4 days...

The downpour of rain was hard on all of

the flowers.  We began cleaning out all

of the flower beds yesterday

to put them to bed for the winter.

We are weaning calves this weekend,

so we will spend today getting

the barn ready for the calves.

Little House Table Runners...

I meet with my local quilt group

on Mondays...

The last several Mondays I have been

creating Little House Table Runners...

They are a great deal of.....FUN !

They require very little fabric

and they are fusible applique'

so they go together rather quickly...

They are small and easily fit under the

sewing machine for machine quilting...

This striped fabric from the stash

makes a great binding treatment...

I am nearly done with this one...

The last step...adding the binding.

All DONE !

That feeling of completion is wonderful !

I have completed 5 table runners on Mondays...

they should make great holiday gifts.

We are weaning calves soon

so I won't have much time in front of

my sewing machine this week.

More To Come...
