Quilty Barn Along
Posted Tuesday, March 19th, 2013 in My Projects, QAL, Quilting | Read More
My friend Kris told me about another QAL (quilt- along) that I could not resist. Lori Holt at Bee In My Bonnet is hosting the QAL with tutorials.
This is the first barn with a Weathervane block made from 1930s fabrics.
The block in this barn is “Farm Fresh Flower“.
I made the first block twice. I had used fabrics from my scrap basket the first time. When I made the second block, I decided to use 1930 reproduction fabrics for the inserted blocks. I took the first block apart and inserted a new “Weathervane” block made from the ’30s fabrics.

Midi Bag with Quiltsmart panel
Posted Saturday, March 9th, 2013 in Quilting | Read More
Last year I made a Mondo bag using the pattern and panel from Quiltsmart. The Mondo bag is huge. It is great for shopping or travel but too large to use for a hand bag.
Last week I bought a panel for a Midi bag, the same style as the Mondo bag, but smaller. I had two Moda candy bars (2 1/2 X 5 inches) that I bought on sale. I cut them in half and used them to make the Midi bag. I used fabric leftover from a quilt for the handles and lining of the bag. Fusible batting is also used in the bag and I had a piece of it in my stash.
I also made a key strap that is attached to the top of the bag.
