New bag finished and quilt layout

This is a close up of what the blocks look like. This quilt is going to be called "Diamond in the Rough".


I am currently sewing the blocks together and then I will sew the rows together.



Stephanie is calling this new bag "Half Moon Bay". It turned out nice. I packaged it and a quilt and it is being sent back to the company that provide the fabric so they can display it at their booth at Market. Market is a trade show for all the quilt stores to come and see the new products the vendors have. So I think that is exciting.


I also have two more quilt projects to sew that are going to be new additions to Stephanie's patterns.
















I am NOT spoiled

There is no better place to take an afternoon nap than in mom's quilt. Besides I can sleep in my own bed anytime.

This is the first quilt I had made and on cold nights I use it to snuggle up with when I am watching TV. The quilt on the right is a baby quilt that I am trying to finish for my cousin and sometimes Mischief thinks it is fun to lay on when I am sewing the binding on.

Anyone up for a challenge

I have been asked to sew a new quilt and a new bag. The directions are not even written yet. The only thing I have to work with are what you see in the pictures. The top one is for the bag and the bottom one is for the quilt.








I think I got the pieces together right. It was like putting a puzzle together.

A little bragging

In January I went to help at a show in the Ontario convention center. The name of the show was called Road to California. So I took some pictures of the samples I made for my boss that were hanging up in the booth. It was a long weekend I worked from Thursday to Saturday, but it was fun. The name of the bags are Santa Barbara, Sausalito, Oceanside. The Sausalito was the first bag I made and sample for my boss.
































The quilts are the A Crooked Mile and A-mazed.

I am still here...

Sorry it has been a while.
The end of last year was crazy. I was given another new quilt to sew with a short time to get it done in and made another bag. The quilt is suppose to have another row at the bottom, but my boss wanted it by a certain date. The name of the quilt A-mazed and the bag's name is Santa Barbara.

I finally got the top done for my father in-laws quilt. I just need to piece the back together and get it quilted. I am also working on a baby quilt for my cousin.



This is the new bag that I made. It was fun to do. The bag has two different printed fabrics, they are the same color and the swirls I made one on the top and one on the bottom. One had the dark fabric on the top with the light one on the bottom and the other side I switched it.








This is one side.

This is the other side.

New Quilt


A picture of the new quilt

A new project

These are the two different sides after I had quilted around the design
















My boss designed a couple new patterns and I was asked to sew one of them. One was a quilt and the other was a new purse. I made the purse, my directions were written on a piece of notebook paper and I had a pencil diagram on how to cut my pieces out. The bag ended turning out real nice. The bag had the same design but done with different fabrics on each side.
