A Green Go Green Bag

I finally put together a real bag for the cover photo of the pattern. I had made a few bags while I was messing around with ideas and then wrote the pattern for a version I thought would be best. It was a little different than the ones I had made, so I didn't want to put them on the cover. Marcia was nice enough to try out the pattern so her bag went on the cover for a bit, but then I saw this fabric at the shop and decided that I "needed" a green bag for the cover photo. The patterns will be at the shop next week..


Now I am playing with an "It's a Wrap" fabric basket - or maybe it's a tote bag? All I'm sure about is that it's getting bigger and I'm having sooooo much fun. I had some small strips leftover from Eldon and now they have found a use. Photos coming soon.

A Beautiful Sunset

It really looked like this! In the foreground are my morning glories that are winding their way on the terrace fence.

Back to Sewing

Wow! It sure has been awhile! We did go away for a few days but time has been flying by. I've been playing with my 820 in preparation for the demo on 8/20/09 at The Happy Quilter. I decided to see how many of the different features I could use making fabric bowls. It's been a great way to learn more about this machine. Tapering and Tassel stitches included!! This machine has a great stitch, and it's so easy to modify the tension for different threads. I do love making these bowls.
