Market Totes

Hi all! I just wanted to let you know that I have put all of the new Market Totes into my etsy shop, please check them out! I am really excited to see what kind of reception they will receive! The produce bags I put in there a couple of weeks ago, have almost completely sold out! Also, keep an eye out for some more pencil rolls and matching bags. I think those are next on my list. I will post pictures once I get started! Might not be until next week as this week seems to be extra busy! Thanks for following, I appreciate it!

Happy almost Spring to all!

A Glimpse

Well, here they are, the squares are ready to be mailed back to New York tomorrow! I am SO excited to see what Marcia thinks of everything! This is just a glimpse of what the quilt could look like when it's finished. It will be 48" square and has a place for 60 people to sign it. My house feels so tropical when I lay the pieces out!

Nice fabric choices Marcia, it will look amazing when it's finished! So, everyone out in blogland, this quilt will come back to me next month, stay tuned for the finished product...

Guest Book Quilt #2

I know its not the greatest picture, but here is the pile of fabric I will be using for my next Guest Book Quilt! I am very excited to do this project for someone I have never even met in person! She is putting her trust and faith in me to create a beautiful heirloom (no pressure right?) and I am looking forward to doing that for her!

Guest Book Quilt #2 will be the same pattern as Guest Book Quilt #1 that I made last year for my dear friend. The color scheme for this quilt is very tropical; teal, turquoise, bright yellow and white to name a few. Stay tuned for pictures of the squares before they are mailed away (to New York) for signing.

Meet, The "Market Tote"

So, here it is, I couldn't wait to share it because I think it is so fun! This is the new canvas tote I mentioned yesterday, just finished tweaking the pattern and sewing these babies up! I'm calling it the Market Tote because I feel like it would make a great addition to your farmer's market trip, especially with some of the reusable produce bags I just put into my etsy shop! It's a single layer of canvas, with some raw-edged cotton fabrics added to give it some flair and a handy pocket. I am going to take some pictures and add these to my shop as soon as the sun comes back. Could be a few days though. Until then, I would love to answer any questions or take orders. Not sure how much I will charge just yet, still mulling that over. Enjoy these bright bags, especially if the weather is as grey where you are as it is here!!!

Something New

Just thought I would drop in and give you a little taste of what is to come. I have decided it's time to use some canvas and I'm loving the results. Stay tuned for a new bag design. I will post pictures in a couple of days.

Wall Pocket

In an effort to post some fun stuff I have been branching out on, here is the wall pocket I created for my own kitchen! I was fed up with the papers that sit on the counter and collect into annoying piles. It was time to figure something out, so I did the measurements and went to work with my canvas stash. I also used the red to match the top of my curtains on the other wall. I have been so happy with my de-cluttered kitchen counter and I always know right where to look for those papers that just don't have a home!

If there is interest, I could make these for the etsy shop too, let me know!

Pencil Rolls with Matching Bags!

Ugh, has it really been since November since I have posted? I am so sorry that I disappeared for so long. I have been sewing, not as much as before, but different projects here and there. I think of getting on and just posting pictures, maybe I will try to do that more often.

Anyway, I really wanted to share these SUPER CUTE gift sets I have been working on. I made up my own pattern for a colored pencil roll with a matching tote bag. Of course the tote bag was a breeze, since that's what I do best, but it took a little bit of measuring and thinking to get the colored pencil roll right. I'm thinking about writing a simple pattern and selling it in my etsy shop. Time will tell if I get to that. So, just had to share the pictures, if nothing else I want to make some sets up to sell in the shop.

I have also been working on some more produce bags and new aprons that can be used for gardening, crafting, teaching, vending, whatever you can dream up. Head over to my shop and check out the new items! Also, canvas bags to come in the shop, soon!!!
