More Hemingway Pouches

 Making Hemingway Pouches is such a fun project,

especially when I use the vinyl or faux leather

from Zipper Valley.

(The zippers and pulls came from Zipper Valley, too.)

 

The one change I made to the pattern is to sew the binding

to the outside of the pouch, which eliminates the

need to turn the pouch inside out after the binding is sewn in place.

 

 

 

 

 These pouches were gifted to a few people

and all were very pleased.  :)

 

 

 

Since I stitch the binding to the outside,

this allows for me to use the top triangle

that is cut from the bigger bag to make a smaller bag.

These would be great for coins, chapstick, hair clips, etc.

 

 

This eye glass case was made with quilted fabric and

will protect my sunglasses nicely.

 

 

Happy Quilting! 

Red, White and Blue Veterans Quilt

 These past few weeks I've had the time to cut and sew

another Veterans quilt.

 

This one was made with some of my collection of

red, white and blue fabrics.

 

 

 

 

 

The block pattern is the Disappearing Nine Patch

and it went together so quickly.

(Notes for me... I used 4.75" squares for the nine patch to 

make the 48x60" quilt.)

 

 

 

 

I quilted it with the crosshatch using my walking foot.

 

 

 It is labeled, laundered and ready for delivery.

Happy Quilting!

Birdie Baby Quilts

 A few blog posts ago, I mentioned that I had received

parts of a stash of a quilter who died.

In her stash were some unfinished projects and blocks.

Two of these unfinished projects were these adorable quilt tops.

They are now finished and have been donated to a

local organization that needs baby blankets.

These fabrics are so fun and the design makes a great quilt

while showing off the various fabrics.

 

 

 

Here is the second quilt that is equally as cute.

I'm going to have to remember this design for future

baby quilts.

 

 

And who does not love these birds??

Happy Quilting!

Go Blue!!

 My youngest brother is a huge University of Michigan sports fan,

especially football.

A while ago I saw this bundle of Michigan fabrics and knew

I had to make him a quilt.

The quilt was made and this past weekend I delivered it to him.

 

 

 

I used "The Olivia Quilt" pattern by

Kitchen Table Quilting.

It was a great pattern to use with the larger print fabrics.

The quilt measures 60x73.5". 

 

 

 

Jennifer at Peaceful Hill Quilting quilted

little footballs all over the quilt.

Perfect!

 

This was a really fun quilt to make

and should keep him warm while he's watching

Michigan football this fall.

Happy Quilting!
