Secret Sewing Finished

I have been working on this mini for our guild quilt challenge.

It will also go to the exhibit at the Cotton Museum and the quilt show at Davies Manor.

I hand quilted in the sashing and stitched decorative embroidery/quilting around each bird.

I couldn't share it before the UTQG meeting last Tuesday.

Our mini quilts were displayed and everyone voted for their favorite.

In other crafting busyness -

I worked on these backpack tags for my grandsons in NYC.

I used my metal stamping supplies and bought some charms to add interest.

I have a list of other sewing but no photos yet.

 

Ornaments, bags, bingo, & color theory

The last few weeks my sewing has been a mix of small projects and detours.

I worked on ornaments for MAMQG's holiday tree at the Pink Palace.

We don't know if we will get to decorate a tree but we want to be ready.

I will show more in another post.

For two weeks I played quilt bingo with Mississippi Quilt Association's Facebook group.

I made a block for this charity quilt.

The detour was into bag making.

I enlarged the Alpen Bag but it didn't turn out the way I planned. 

It is a sturdy, boxy bag about the size of a shoe box.

It now contains all my threads and needles for Tinsel - still a work in progress.

I made a handle out of a bandana.

It works great and I like the look.

I'm working on a presentation on Color Theory for UTQG.

I want to make it very interactive for our guild members.

This morning I took these quilts and wall hangings to the Delta Fair.

They were entered in the craft section of the fair.

That's all for now.

Happy Sewing!

 

Finished top & 4 year old's birthday present

The original Indiglow pattern finished at 54" square.

I added a row of checkerboard blocks on the top and bottom.

Somehow I cut too many blocks from one fabric 

so I used them and other scraps to make the extra rows.

Now it measures 54" X 65"

I pieced a back and hope to get the quilt basted this week. 

I plan to hand quilt it.

Our youngest grandson will be 4 soon.

I bought this cute campfire softee panel.

He loves to play pretend and has a tent for indoor camping.

Now he will be ready to make S'mores and cook a hot dog and fish over the fire. 

To help with clean up I made a drawstring bag that holds all the pieces.

Now the hardest part is waiting to show him.

Happy Sewing!
