My first project is for my daughter's dance teachers. It is a wine tote using a pattern by Atkinson Designs.
I usually avoid zippers like the plague, but I am going to give it a whirl. I love her fabric more than mine, but I am still happy with what I was able to find. Not a lot of laminated cotton running around out there!
The floral is my outside, the stripe is the liner, and the green dot is the binding. I love the dots. As usual.
The next project I am working on is the Michael Miller Clubhouse block of the month in the Cabana colors. That is the blues, whites and creams shown at the top left. Again, I love the dots. It is a theme for me.
I love/hate the block of the month format. I love that it is not overwhelming and there is only a little to do bit by bit. I hate how slowly it comes together. I get bored easily. I have project A.D.D. I have been known to be done with a project like this long before it was finished. In fact, I have 2 BOM's that have all the blocks done that are not put together. I cannot do that to myself again. I really need to finish those and give them away! Because of my history with BOM's I had to really debate and ponder this project. But I love it so! I am a sucker for blue and white because it reminds me of my grandma. I would have gone for the Cottage in red and white too because I love red. I would have also done the Casino version in red, white, and blue because it reminds me of my other grandma. I clearly loved the pattern and loved the fabric in any combination, so skipping this one would have haunted me. Speaking of haunted, I have a Halloween quilt 3/4 done. What IS wrong with me? I suppose I better quit blogging and start sewing! Good night!
