The juices are flowing, and off we go! It has been awhile since I was really able to just sit down and sew for more than just a few minutes. I have a few projects going now, a couple of them have been cut out and started for awhile. I guess that you could (maybe) call them UFO’s?!
Moda Hello Betty Retro fabrics
I purchased this Hello Betty Retro jellyroll before Christmas and was so excited to get going on a patchwork project. I actually started this awhile ago. I have 21 9-patchwork blocks done. I plan on framing each block of 9 patches, just like the orange one above, and then adding borders to connect each of those blocks. I think that I will be doing a table runner and a couple of pillows with these blocks.
Here is a closer look at the strips. I love the colors!
I absolutely love this fabric from Tina Givens called Fairy Tip-Toes.
Tina Givens - fairy tip-toes
I have been trying to decide what to make with it, and yesterday it just hit me, what wonderful fabric for a spring tote bag!
Here are the beginnings, actually I am a little farther than this, but should have it done within the next day (if all goes well, lol!)
I also started another bag with this fabric, right after Christmas…..
I love the pale blue paisley, and the small polka dots! This will be a farmer’s market bag.
I have several fabrics all prepped and ready to cut out various farmer’s market totes and bags (I’ll show you the difference between the totes and bags later) and a few more spring fabric baskets.
Nothing like spring to get you energized and going again!
Take care, and thanks for taking the time to stop by!
