Scrap Happy Purse

So glad I finally got this finished. It screams spring-summer!
Even if the weather around here doesn't...brrr....down to 38 tonight....brrrr


I love it!

I did change up the pattern a bit, same size but added more pockets in side- custom to fit my phone, address book, keys etc., etc., and  a zipper closure; which changed the assembly and caused me a great deal of angst that I might ruin the whole thing.

I didn't. 

(whew!)

Let's Go Pens!!

I bought this book last year!  
I'm starting to get annoyed with myself buying books and then never making even one quilt from them.  
I'm annoyed since I'm running out of book shelf space AGAIN! 

So I made this top from two partial charm pack I had, Reunion and Simply Style. I added one extra row of blocks.




Urban Pods was finished at the end of April.
I've been waiting for good weather to take some outside pictures.
I gave up waiting.





The design wall with Up and Away progress; not much. I have the 10 rows sewn together in the upper right corner.
I feel sure that soon I will lose patience with this sitting here and sew the dang thing up, even though it sitting there and being sewn a few rows at a time is the plan...

I sewed a sample spider web block (ala Bonnie Hunter).
I saw a quilt on Pinterest using pieced fabric for the center area and really liked it.
I don't really like my grey centers.  It might look fine on an entire quilt, but I don't have that much.  I'm going to do another one with much lighter pieced centers.



Customer quilts are threatening to overwhelm-the closet and my mind.
This is Carol's 
E's & 3's with a variegated thread.

and the back


I finished the Swoon pillow.
