Posts Tagged ‘Messenger Bag’

Last year, around this time, I had to bow out of my stitching role for the Love group at do. Good Stitches. At that time, my schedule was overwhelming and something had to give. I missed it and signed up again at the beginning of this summer. It took a little bit to find an open spot, but I now have a new home in the Grace group. Exciting! This is what I love about being part of a charity bee: It’s pretty easy to find yourself repeating the patterns and blocks you know. Being involved in this sort of quilting bee pushing me to explore things I wouldn’t normally do. This month is just that type of situation. Totally not my style. Nothing I would normally do. However, very enjoyable. Happy to be a small part of an extraordinary effort. And best of all, it’s for charity. Love that!

In other news, finished a messenger bag.

I’m still working on my ‘iHeart Cute Bots’ messenger bag & my lovely granny squares.

Perhaps the most exciting news of the week, I have under cabinet lighting. Hooray for me!

Really, I do! Can’t get enough. I can honestly say, I haven’t fabric crushed this hard, maybe ever. So in love, I have to share my finished messenger bag flip top. Changed the ruffle from my original plan and I like this a lot. Also, snuck in a iPhone/iPod/iTouch pocket. I opted for a button closure so there would be an escape route for earphone wires. iLove it!

You can’t help but love them; messenger bags that is. And how about adding some linen iheart cute bots in pink to sweeten the pot? Yes, please! Not to mention the bag is in dark jean, oh my! Personally, I just love putting together things I can’t stop looking at. And just once in a while, I get to sneak all my sewing goodness to my office. And sew ALL DAY LONG! Today was one of those days, until I forgot to pack my cutting mat and seam ripper. My heart dropped when I discovered my mind had failed me, once again. Oh well. I work with quartz counter tops, so I thought I’d just cut right on it. Not only did that not work, I’m pretty sure my brand new blade is now dull. I guess I shouldn’t mess with 93% quartz, ever. Counter top, fine. Rotary cutter, not so much! I did manage to cut with some scissors and a basting pin to rip my accidents. That gave me about 2 hours of sewing time before I was completely over it. I’m spoiled, what can I say.

Here’s what I managed to do:

Ruffle {Front Flap}

Last week, I also stitched 4 new granny squares. In gray, LOVE!

Also met Malia’s children and gifted the butterfly wall hanging and drawstring bags to her kids. My hubby also made Lanea a hand crafted necklace out of purple heart wood. I didn’t even know he could do such a thing. I hear everything is loved. Happy, us!

And, Malia was able to find some time to sew with me, hooray. She made her first ruffled napkin. Happy, Malia!

It was a full week of sewing. Happy, me!
