We owe our thanks to Madame Samm and Marlene for this blog hop. I am still grinning, thinking about what creations we are going to see.
These ladies do an exceptional job organizing these hops....a big whoo hoo for you girls!!!!
Now; on to mine: The first one is put together as a little wall hanging, which is in my sewing room now. It was kind of a test piece for me too...I used stripe fabrics to show the bias.
Now I never said she was pretty....lol!!!!! I did a little straight line quilting on this one.
Now the second piece is a tote bag; which I plan on using for carrying my projects back and forth for our sewing nights.
This is quilted with straight lines on the diagonal....and I stitched those little pieces on to show what I am interested in. As you can see......heels take priority. I know my sewing buddies are laughing now....lol. I couldn't resist. The flowers and butterfly represent the gardening I like to do. Sorry my stitching above her doesn't show up enough...I does say 'I'm a little' but not dark enough...
Here is the list for today:
