There were a couple other projects I worked on during the quilt retreat over Memorial Day weekend, but they’ll get posted when they’re done since they’re mostly gifts. But one more that was for guild efforts was making totes for a center that helps at-risk youth. The guild normally makes tote bags and pillowcases. When…
The third retreat project I worked on was the ByAnnie Mini Notebook Cover. The pattern as well as a correctly sized piece of Soft and Stable was part of our goodie bag. It was super awesome of ByAnnie to sponsor our retreat and this was a cute pattern that would make a fun gift! I’d…
Coming up next in my organizational sewing are these By Annie Pack It In packing Cubes. I actually started these first and as I was using the fabric, I realized it would also be perfect for the Amethyst Project Bag. So after making one of these, I paused and made the Amethyst Project Bag, and…
I just finished this. Last night. I rarely get photos and get things posted this quickly so feel free to be impressed 😉 This is the Sew Sweetness Amethyst Project Bag. I was actually using the exterior fabric for some other organization type containers (to be posted when I finish them) and realized it would…

I was sending some quilts for my cousin’s baby boy (post coming soon) but I didn’t want to send them along without sending something for his older sister. She’s quite the little fashionista so dresses are always a good bet for her 🙂 So I made her another Geranium Dress (patter by Made by Rae).…
I recently completed the Betz White Weekend Duffle. This pattern is offered as part of her Craftsy class Sew Better Bags: The Weekend Duffel. I won the class for one of the bags I submitted to the Bag of the Month Club competition. I was super excited about it! Thanks, Bag of the Month Club!…
I’m am so excited about these little guys! They are the Sew Sweetness Kismet Trinket Boxes. The left is the large circular one one and the right is the small square one with the height decreased by an additional inch so that it’s only about 3 inches tall. I used some free fat quarters I…
I’m terrible about gifts. Well intentioned. But I’m eternally optimistic about how much time I have left until Hanukah/Christmas/birthday/etc. So it’s only natural that I ended up finishing my mom’s holiday gift this February. I wanted to make her something because while I make plenty of stuff for people, she never seems to get any…
