Nantucket Summer Mini Charm Bag

I had come across this mini charm bag on Shabby Fabrics YouTube channel with Bethany. She did an amazing tutorial on making this bag, down to every detail. I used Nantucket Summer by Camille Roskelley. You can buy the mini charm packs, or cut your own into 2.5” squares. It takes 40. I decided to use some white fabric since my zipper is white, along with the pull tabs. The inside lining is from this collection, in a blue/white floral. I also purchased the sailboat zipper charm, which finishes this bag off nicely. Since I am from the Ocean state, it has some significant meaning to me.

Daisy Fields Pinwheel with Sashing

*Update: 1-14-23, just picked this quilt up from my local long armer. I had some HST’s left over from my Daisy Fields Lemoyne quilt, I decided to use them in a pinwheel quilt. I had 2 yards of the cream/gold hexi’s fabric, so I used that for the sashing. I will also use the navy blue large daisy print for the outer border and binding The pinwheels are 8” squared. The quilt will have five across, and eight down. The backing is a gold ombré color. The quilting was done in a daisy pattern, using gold thread. It measures 59” wide x 86” long.

Country Rose “Hodgepodge” Quilt

Today, 3-10-23, I picked up my quilt from my local quilt shop. Love how it turned out! I just finished piecing my Hodgepodge quilt, and took it to my local quilt shop (Hunter’s Quilt Mart) yesterday, 2/27/23. Since the collection has roses in it, I chose a quilt pattern with large roses in it. My quilt shop was my inspiration to making this quilt…as they had a sample quilt hanging up during one of my visits. My daughter gave me the fat quarter bundle for a Christmas gift (2022). This quilt is a throw size, but will cover a full size bed nicely. I will be making my daughter one as well.

The Good Life/Shine On Vinyl Project Bag

I have been seeing a lot of clear vinyl project bag tutorials on YouTube lately, so I decided to make one for my cross stitch supplies. The inside liner and backing was quilted in a cross hatch pattern. The liner is from the “Good Life” collection by Bonnie and Camille. The borders and the backing are from the “Shine On” collection, by the same designers. My project bag finished at 16” x 18’, so its a great size.

Thread catcher

I made this thread catcher from a pattern out of The Quilt Bee book from Bonnie and Camille. It’s holds all my frequently used notions. The floral fabric is from the At Home collection. The navy pin dots is Dwell, and the aqua polka dots is Riley Blake.
