Charity Lap Quilt & Small Wren Bag

Since my last post I have made a charity quilt from supplies in my stash.

Our quilt group asks each of us to donate one lap quilt each year.

Another quilt group I have been visiting had received many containers of scrap fabric and

I impulsively took a stack of fat quarters and some remnants that looked like yardage.

I used the fat quarters to make a rail fence lap quilt.

The colors are not quite true but one of the light fabrics is a purple and green floral.

There were two remnants of this yellow floral.

I sewed two similar lengths together for the backing.

Just making sure the back was big enough.

The green border picks up the green in front and back.

The binding was another green print.

Above is a back view after trimming.

I quilted it on my domestic sewing machine.

Quilted in the ditch vertically and horizontally, then on one diagonal.

Below is a small Wren bag made from the leftovers of Miss Ava's princess dress.

The handles were extras from another bag. (Somehow I cut too many handles.)

After making two middle size bags I investigated another way to finish the lining.

This time I sewed the bottom on last. It was much easier to sew the sides and zipper section.

The birthday girl is going to be 5.

She is going to school every day and I thought a cute hand sanitizer unicorn would be useful.

I added a strap to the bag so she can be hands-free.

This pic shows the matching dress.

Inside I made a sunglasses case and tissue holder.

More hand sanitizer choices.

Too many for me.

Hope you are well and safe where ever you are.

We are waiting for hurricane Ida to come ashore.

Linking up with Peacock Party if I am not too late.
