So springlike! And BUTTONS!

I know!

I love buttons!! You collect them right? I love the shapes and the feel of them! LOL! I could probably become obsessed with them so easily. My MIL and I went shopping at Joann's and they have them 50% off right now. Some of them are so sweet and some just tell a story.... I know weird but I like them! LOL!

Thanks! it's so fun to make them and they only take about an hour and a half! I have 2 and I let my mom pick 2, I'm just going to keep making them and maybe find a craft show or something at my sons school....

 

[Charley]

Wow, you are quick in making them. It is always nice to have some items put away for gifts too. I've never done a craft show.....sounds fun though.

Good idea! There is a few Birthdays for my nieces coming, Christmas... yep that's what I'll do!!

Man, I put my head phones on and go to town! I seem to work a lot faster and more efficient if I have music. The hardest part is that ding darn strap!LOL! So much folding for such a tiny little thing!! I'm going to see if I can get a few done today, I have a bunch of zippers burning a whole in my stash!!!!( Thanks Chanda!!!!!!)

Did you use that big orange zipper for your new orange purse? [What's a zipper worth these days at the store? A couple in the package said like $1.75, but I have no idea how old they are.]

And, they are all very cute.

I can't remember if I posted this or not, but I'll probably be giving these out for Christmas this year:



A simple little tablerunner

I didn't use the orange one but I did use the pink one. That orange one is huge but I think if I can find a hobo bag or a beach bag pattern it would be perfect. I have a navy and white purse in the works to go with one of the navy zippers, but it's only cut not sewn yet. Did that a little while ago but the sun is out so I think I may go out for a while....

Zippers over 12" are starting at $1.99 at my Joann fabrics

Finished my hubby's lap quilt. He likes it.

 

[chandab]

Love it.

 

[jacks'thunder]

Ohhh I like that camo!! How manley!!!! LOL! My hubby would love it! Your log cabin blocks turned out really nice!

May I ask what the design is in the very centers of the beige? I can't make it out on my pc.

It has 8 embroidered fish. One in each corner and then smaller fish in each center block. I think you can see it better in this photo of the smaller embroidery.

Thanks for the close up! Now I can really see the fabric too! What nice prints and I love the fish!

That bracelet is very pretty!

I am learning to make buttonholes on my new machine. The doll clothes have been good for me to get more familiar with it and I am actually feeling ready to try buttonholes.

I've made a robe and pajamas for the AG doll. I had to take the pattern to the quilting group this morning as there was one part I could not figure out. The woman at the extension office couldn't figure it out either and suggested the quilting group. A member there was able to show me. I don't think patterns are as precise in their directions as they used to be. Too many languages, I guess.

I've made a bit of progress on the horse quilt. I'm actually close to being done with he top, just need to measure, cut and sew the pieced border on. [And, decide if it needs more borders after that.

Hi Marsha, It is so nice that you have a group that can help you when you have questions. I find that a lot of the newer patterns sold by the pattern maker are not as easy to figure out as the brands that I am more used to. It is really nice when there is someone that you can call on work with you to figure it out. Looking forward to photos!

Chanda, I love your quilt top. It is a very interesting pattern. Can't wait to see it when it is finished!
