I was so anxious to get in on this hop when I saw it announced over at Sew We Quilt. It seems so long ago now!! Since this is a new line of fabric, my friend and I had to send away for it. We bought ours from Hancocks; who were so very good at sending things out quickly.
Huge thank yous go out to Madame Samm and Carla for organizing and cheering this hop. Our sponsors are always a huge and most generous part of this also.
Now my project this time will need some explaining; I'm afraid because it is a bit different. So; here we go. I bought the panel that was out for this line and came up with a type of wall hanging that I could use for my sewing room and include my lady friends that I sew with. It has each one of their names on a pocket where I can put items for each of them. For example; if they leave something behind; in her pocket it goes and won't get misplaced. Or if I have something for one of them...it is there for next week.
This was a fun piece to do as I got together with one of my sewing buddies as she was making hers.
Connie from Shepody Mountain Crafter who is on the list today. So; let's see this project and maybe you will get the drift.
Each panel is stitched on to a quilted background..with a large opening as a pocket. The buttons on the outside corners hold their name. The hanging sleeve is a row of paper dolls holding hands...and it is hung with a measuring tape. The top right hand corner has a message saying...you got mail.
And you can see; we have room for a guest or new buddy.....lol.
There is my pocket up there in the corner....Rose below....
Here you can see Judy on the bike...Connie beside her and we have Marla in the bottom right.
These ladies are getting cold out here...lol. I was all over the yard taking pictures trying to get the best view of this.
I think you have the idea...right?? lol. Please take time to visit everyone on the list today and days ahead. It will be a fun hop for all. Thanks for visiting and enjoy!!!!!

ReplyDeleteGreat idea, Marjorie. I've been wanting to name those gals and I am inspired to name them with people I know. I just need to have visitors so I can make it useful. lol

ReplyDeletesew very cute. Great to see new ideas here. Love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great project, and so very useful. It is so easy to forget or misplace something, what a handy tool and so pretty too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea Marjorie! How fun to have a bunch of you get together and sew and to come in to find goodies in your pockets. Did you choose the lady from the panels that you thought best depicted each of you ?
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea! I'm sure your friends feel very welcome and the creativity flows from there.
ReplyDeleteMarjorie what a simply wonderful idea! My monthly group is constantly calling around saying "did I leave 5 small blocks at your house?" or "I'm missing my little blue scissors - could they be there?" This is ideal for all those "found" items! blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteVery nice. You and Connie are very creative. Now to go and see hers.
ReplyDeleteWonderful project! I am always leaving things behind, this would be wonderful for quilt retreat! great idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Nicely made too. I like the paper dolls across the top.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea and looks so cute in that fabric! Lucky ladies to be part of your group!
ReplyDeleteAdore the panels and what a great place to put the quilt -thanks for the great idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. Soundds like a fun sewing group. I am sure they will head straight to to the hanging to find out what treasures are there.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very clever idea!
ReplyDeleteBy the way.. I was moved to the 5th.. Please remove my link so others wont come and think I flopped. lol
Adorable idea! And what a great pane to choose. This would be a wonderful idea for our Girl Scout troop, with a pocket for each girl. Thank you for sharing the great idea (and for going out in the cold to take the pictures!)
ReplyDeleteHi Marjorie - Great idea and use of our She Who Sews, Handmaids™ large patch panel. I am enjoying seeing the many creative accomplishments in the hop. Thank you so much - Janet
ReplyDeleteFun idea, great pics!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great wall hanging!
ReplyDeleteGreat Job Marjorie and what a fun idea!! Thank you for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! It would be fun to have a group of ladies to sew with.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable wallhanging & excellent way to put aside things that the ladies leave! I am forever finding things from my friends & have to put it aside or I'll forget where I put it for safekeeping!
ReplyDeleteThis is sooo adorable. I really love it. I think it would be a wonderful addition to any sewing room. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, if that isnt' just the best idea in the world. I love it! I absolutely love this fabric!
ReplyDeleteGreat wallhanging!
ReplyDeleteLove that there sre pockets to put things for them to take home. I am always forgetting to give things to the right person:)
What a cute wallhanging…great idea!!! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteJust darling Marjorie!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea!
ReplyDeleteHi, Marjorie! This is a great idea for a quilt guild or retreat. You could trade little treats or notes or scraps. Fun!
ReplyDeleteExcellent project and great for keeping organized! I do love this fabric and you have showcased it well. Thank you sew much for hopping...
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. Someone is always leaving somethinjg behind or calling and saying "remind me to give you....." There are 7 of us counting me in our group. Might have to make one for us too. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific idea. Great way to use the panel.
ReplyDeleteVery clever use of the panels. I love sewing useful things. svonfumetti at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteThis is a great! It becomes useful and pretty too.
ReplyDeleteYour wall hanging is such a great way to use the panel, so creative and I am willing to bet that each of the ladies will enjoy it as much as we have.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea you came up with! Fun fabric to work with making it as well.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I may need to do something like for our meeting place as someone is always going off without something they need.
Hello Marjorie,
ReplyDeleteI love your idea to make a pocket wallhanging with this panel,
very well done and thanks for sharing.
Liebe Grüße
Bente
what a great idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Marjorie and your work is beautiful as usual!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful organizational idea! I just read a blog where a quilter had to go buy a new rotary cutter because she left hers at her mom's house. If someone left hers at your house, you'd know where it was - it would be in her pocket in your organizer. I like that idea. You always create the best-est projects. Thanks for participating again.
ReplyDeleteA fantastic idea, your sewing buddies are very lucky!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Marjorie , your friends will thank you for being so thoughtful .
ReplyDeleteThat is such a clever idea - now everyone will be organised - what fun - you will have to hide notes in their pockets just for fun when they look but haven't left anything! ha!
ReplyDeleteHow cute and what a way to brighten your sewing room door. Don't you just love that fabric???
ReplyDeleteNow if that isn't the cutest and cleverest idea!! The fabric worked so well for your pocket hanger and adding names was perfect. I really need to have something just like this for my kids. It gives me some great guidelines to work from.
ReplyDeleteMarjorie, that is the cutest thing! I always have trouble coming up with ideas for using panels. Yours is just so clever. Well done.
ReplyDeletecheers

Great idea Marjorie, I really like this and the addition of the buttons makes it sew much cooler.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! I sort of blanked when I saw the fabric, but you dived right in, way to go!
ReplyDeleteI think you have good sense in making design. Manything will give advantage for people who love clothes design like me.
ReplyDeleteif we do it from our hearth, everything in universe will make us better.
Thank you very much. Go on to make better our life.
