Sewing Projects on the Long Weekend



Along with enjoying the gorgeous (hot!) weather we had for the first half of our long weekend, I did get to spend some time sewing. For some scrappy fun, I took the blue fabric pieces that Amandajean sent and made a little quilted bag from them.
I also finished piecing the quilt top (thanks to Roxanne for finding the final piece I needed!) on my vintage blue sheet quilt and began the machine quilting.


I'm having a blast just making up the quilting design as I go along.
I'm loving the look of all these vintage fabrics together.

How was your weekend?

    I love your work, really. And you work so quickly! All that in a weekend!
    We have a good weekend in family, but it was raining.

    I love the quilting on your blue quilt! I'm so glad you were able to finish it with the fabric I sent. The little pouch is adorable as well! We had a great weekend of pretty much nothing. Sometimes you need one of those, you know? :)
