Feeling A Little Better....

I have my next Aunt Millie's block all prepped. I have been trying many different methods for the blocks so far, and this month I used the spray starch and heat resistant template plastic. I have to say, it looks like the time consuming process is actually worth it! The seams are all turned under, and now I can just sit and stitch, which I think is the best part!


I'm posting a picture of my Miranda Bag. I made it last summer with asian fabrics, something I wouldn't normally quilt with, but the fabric was so pretty, I just couldn't leave it behind! I purchased some black and white fabric to make another bag, from the Miranda Bag pattern. It is for my mother-in-law for mother's day. I know my mother checks this blog, so her present has to stay off the blog... she'll peek even if I say not to! I do have to admit though, I'm just like her in that respect, so I understand :)

My other most recent project is to make a quilt blog roll/carrier to bring all of my applique blocks out with me. I found a great fairy frost charm pack, and 1/2 yard to coordinate with it for the interior. I'll definitely embellish the outside, too. Maybe some yo-yo flowers, or wool, rick rack and ribbons, oh my!
