2021 Basket

Learning to use bosal to give my bag creations form. This is from a Youtube tutorial by Debbie Shore on 2-27-2021. I decided to add a 2nd strap. She called this an Easter basket. Material is all from scrap after making pillowcases for family a while back. Exterior print: Perugina Paisley. Very satisfying make! (Completed: 3-1-2021 on Singer Seventy)

Couch Potato

I could almost become a couch potato with this set of 4 pillow shams. A gift for nephew and wife from fabric they gave me last Christmas while requesting these pillows. I have to admit that piping is a pain for me but it looks so good when it is done. I watch the YouTube tutorials but something happens along the way and I end up with a seam on the wrong side of the piping case strip. I will not be deterred! (DEC2016) Update (JUN2019) -- Happy to say these pillows still look great today, even after daily use by a family of 4 with two toddlers age 5 and 2 now! The fabric has held up very well and made my time and effort worthwhile.

Heat Up The Skillet

Yep! This apron is worthy of heating up the skillet. I am so happy with my first sewn apron. It came to me from a pattern book I rec'd from my co-worker: FABULOUS FAT QUARTER APRONS by Mary Beth Temple. Very nostalgic thing for me since my Mama always wore an apron when in the kitchen or cleaning fish! NEW SKILLS LEARNED: Gathering a skirt, the Flat-Felled Seem, application of Binding. SKIRT: Fabric by the Yard gifted from a friend clearing out an old bank building he'd been using as a storage space. POCKET: Culture Shock by STUDIOe. BINDING: Brick.

AUNT BETTY

This set of two 16" pillow shams, mug rugs and tea towel are for my Aunt Betty. The tea towel was hand embroidered by my 80 yr old Mama. PRINT: Embassy Row Master Floral - Suzanne Nicoll for Springs Creative. This fabric has a very nice feel to it and it should hold up well to washing and iron touch up.

Happy Quilt

This is my 3rd completed pieced quilt top! EASY TIP: Use the SUNDAY BEST QUILTWORK's (SBQ) Half Square Triangle stencil. It really is a time saver and makes perfect half square triangles. So glad I found this great little shop in Georgia while on vacation in 2017. TOP: Got the idea of the center design from MSQC Youtube. The Yellow, black and white center fabric were fat quarters gifted from my co-worker's husband (they're his college colors). I added the yellow with white dot yardage fabric to frame the design. The binding fabric came from the SBQ shop owner's planned project for a halloween shirt. BACK: The perfect yellow, black and white graphic design to match my top came from SBQ. QUILTING: Quilting and binding by Sunday Best Quiltworks team. Yellow, Black and White Baby Quilt: Completed JULY 2018

Rustic Snowman Pillow Shams

These are 24" pillow shams that I made over a weekend for my brother and sis-in-law as a gift for Christmas 2017. The snowmen, deer and tree print on the brown tone fit with their decor. These were given with matching, reversible place mats and second set of shams for Valentines.

Love Notes Lap Quilt

My 1st QUILT post on QuiltsbyMe. I know, finally! Until now I've only uploaded my beginner sewing projects. This is actually my 2nd EVER completed quilt. I completed the blocks and had Ms. Marty at my local fabric shop finish off the backing, binding and quilting. Thanks to MSQC's tutorial, my LOVE NOTES quilt was fast and easy. BLOCKS and BACKING: BESPOKE BLOOMS by Brenda Riddle Designs for Moda Fabrics (used Bespoke Hydrangea on back) BINDING and SOLID PINK: Bella Solids Sisters Pink. (Nov2016) [Update: given to my newborn great-niece for Christmas 2017]

Crosswalk thru the Canyon

This is my first completed full sized quilt top. It is the CROSSWALK pattern by MSQC. I had the local shop owner quilt and bind for me. The quilting is her freehand lucky horseshoe design. (Completed JUN 2016) FRONT: Canyon Trails 2.5" strips by Benartex purchased from MSQC. The blue border is a barbed wire print. BACK: Stars print in unknown purchased from the quilter. A gift for my great-nephew (age 2 1/2) for Christmas 2016 who just happened to receive a western Sheriff's hat. Couldn't get him to take his pic with the quilt because he was too busy playing with his new toys. Batting was provided by his uncle at Christmas 2015.

Find your place

My first attempt at placemats made by following along with SewVeryEasy on YouTube. A gift for my sis-in-law who gave me the coffee and tea fabric. The back was a gift of fabric from a friend. These were pretty fast to make. (DEC2016)

Magazine Bags

Saw these being made on a tutorial. They were originally for young children to have crayons and coloring books on hand when traveling. (Nov2016)
