More toiletry purses/pouches and a new quilt

I've been working on a "secret" for a while, and yesterday I could hand over the quilt to it's new owner :-)

My oldest son's girlfriend turned 18 yesterday, and I'm so glad she liked it :-) She is the cutest, and I know she will appreciate it :o)

Since I said yes to attend a little market we had at work the other day, I had to speed piece a few things.I made 10 of the toiletry purses/pouches! The grey one on top was given as a birthday present for my dear SIL last weekend. Me and Hubby agreed that one was the nicest one I had made so far :o)
None of them was sold, but that's fine by me. Nice presents to have ready ;o)

I think I will keep one of the purple ones, I just love them! Some of my favorite fabrics to be honest :-)
I made one with the scraps from the "Dilly Dally" quilt, and the aqua zipper I got from Lappedilla was just perfect! 

A nasty cold has kept me company for almost a week now, and I'm pretty sick and tired of coughing and fever. My face feels like it's two sizes too small, and I can't wait till my sinuses are back to normal....
I haven't been sewing at all for almost a week, and I have so many things I want to do... Hope the new week will be a nice and productive one.

Wish you all a great new week,
Laila 

Spools quilt is finished

Last night I finished the binding on my Spools quilt.  I'm satisfied with the result, and hope to get it up on the wall when Hubby is back from work on Friday :-)  This was a fun quilt to both sew and quilt. I'm taking it with me to the quilt guild meeting tonight for the show and tell. 

Wish you a great Wednesday,

Strippy pouches

I've been mostly working on large quilts for a while, so I wanted to make a small project so I could play with some already cut fabric strips. The strips was neatly stacked, but they occupied a lot of space on my cutting table. I've been wanting to make some small purses/bags with zipper for a while, after seeing a lot of gorgeous ones here in Blogland and on Facebook. I'm not so crazy about working with zippers, so I had to challenge myself and get to it :-)

Found this cute pattern over at Moda Bake shop called "Strippy Charm pouch".

I ended up making three pouches in two days, so this was not so hard :-) Easy to make stuff like this when the fabric is already cut, and fun too!

They all found new homes pretty fast :-) I love making people I care about, happy :-)

I'm working on a gorgeous quilt using this fabric line. It's the "Vintage Modern" by Bonnie & Camille. It's a secret quilt, but I'll post a photo of it when it's finished ;o)
Today it's my Wednesday off work, so I'll be spending some time in my sewing room between housework-duty ;o) 

Wish you all a Happy Wednesday!
