Two patterns arrived the other day..."Posies A La Mode" by Joanna of Fig Tree & Company--which is found in Fresh Vintage Number 13, and "a la mode" by Camille of Thimble Blossoms. I was smitten with both patterns...couldn't decide which one to start first (you know how that is)...so I started both!
I decided to make "Posies a la Mode" out of the featured fabric, Mill House Inn. The pattern uses a layer cake, a charm pack, and a little yardage. (Just wait until you see what I'm making with the honey bun...can't show yet...but it is a wonderful design)!
I had to make one of the posie flowers right away...so cute! I've actually made all 12 flowers with just the centers left to applique'. Everything is cut and ready to go, so this quilt will go together quickly once I finish the flower centers!
I had to start "a la mode" the same day! This is a layer cake pattern as well, but it is also fat quarter friendly...so out came some more fat quarters from my fat quarter bundle! What could be better than this block design...pinwheels and stars...two of my favorite things! But...I need the yardage to be available so I can get what I need to finish this quilt...hurry, hurry Moda!!!
Recently I had a great opportunity to sew two of Stephanie's latest designs, "Ladyfingers" and"Sugar Baby!" I loved using some of my Flower Sugar on these projects. The patterns are excellent, and the bags are terrific sizes.
The button on my "Sugar Baby" bag came from my great-grandmother's button collection...I was so happy to be able to use it on such a fun project! Thanks so much Stephanie for sending this pattern...it was a delight to sew!

Out of all the pattern testers for the bags that Stephanie showed on her blog, I liked yours the best. Do you think I'm partial?
Love the flower you are working on.
You have been busy! From your choice of colors, I am learning. I think I blend too much, and the blues and reds were such a fun surprise to my eyes!
Wow! You are amazing and both quilts are stunning!

Joy :o)
Lovely starts on those wonderful quilts and the bag you made of Stephanie's pattern is gorgeous! Great fabric choice!
Your new projects are just lovely. The applique posies are sweet. A great project for beginner appliquers.
I love your bags too. Great fabric choices. It was fun being a pattern tester.
Starting two projects at the same time, Sherri? I'd be in the looney bin for sure!
Love the posies...and Stephanie's Bags? Devine. I love the fabric that you used.
I love the posie...too cute! And those bags are great. Love that button!
So pretty! Those both look like fun projects!

How fun to be starting on 2 projects at once...I know the excitement well.
I too saw your purses on Stephanie's blog and I love them.
You get so much done and are a terrific inspiration!
you crack me up with the hurry moda part...LOL!
This whole post is inspiring! But my word I think you're the energizer bunny of quilting!
Just found your blog and wanted to say hi. Love it.
The posie flowers are too cute! And I love the bags :)
Your projects are always so pretty and well done! I love the handbag!
After seeing your beautiful pinwheel star blocks I couldn't resist any longer and bought the Thimble Blossom pattern. I like the little flowers in the Fig Tree pattern too but I decided to just get the one pattern right now. I just love pinwheels and star blocks so I'm anxious for this pattern.
