Projects

I really loved the blog challenge I did recently. It was a lot of fun! The only thing I purchased was fabric glue for the center of the flowers. I had everything else all ready. Here are some pictures of what I made. Two of them are check book covers and the other three are wallets. I threw in some jewelry for fun as well. Originally that's what I started to make for everyone. I hope everyone liked what I made them!





Here are some of my other projects I have finished lately. The first bag is for my cousin Taran and the second bag is for my aunt Carol. I am bringing these bags with me when I come home this week. I am so excited to give them their bags.

( the red and black bag is reversible)


I made this bag for my sister in law Ashly in January for her birthday. I saw this bag in a quilt shop and wanted to try and make it. It was so fun and easy. If you know how to do a rag quilt you can make this bag. The other bag had a scrappy handle but I decided to just do a solid one. I loved how it turned out with all the fun random fabric.



I made this crayon roll for my niece's 3rd birthday at the end of this month. I thought it was such a cute and easy idea. I am making her a little bag to hold a coloring book and this roll to take to church with her. This would be a fun idea for markers also!







Last but not least this is a quilt I am making right now. I cut and laid out the blocks during the super bowl at Alice's house. I love all the bright colors with the brown. It really is a challenge for me to make a "random" quilt. I do better when I have a specific pattern to follow. I got all this fabric 40% off at my favorite quilt shop. I couldn't resist! I have a thing for fabric! :)



I am coming home on Tuesday! Yahoo!!

Seriously. I don't even have to say anything because you know how talented I think you are!! I'm very jealous of your creativity...obviously since I am always calling you to help me with this or that. Maybe someday when I am prego you can help me make one of those adorable rag quilts! Those wallets are also incredible. So cute! Let's get together when you are here.

Man girl you are talented. I love my wallet and so does everyone else who has laid eyes on it. I feel like my little gifts are cheesy and not so good compared to these. Oh well. I am completing this challenge whether anyone likes it or not!

You are amazing! I would love to be able to make all the things you do. I was wondering if I could buy one of those bags from you? I like the one like the rag quilt. It would be perfect to take to church.

You can do some amazing things with fabric. I have made a few purses and they don't look nearly as good as yours. What is your secret?
