Do you have a list…or several…of things to do, things to make, things to think about doing and making? I have been a list maker all of my life…and there is nothing like being able to mark things off! I’ve been a bit under the weather for about a week…so what to do but sew and mark things off the list.
I made a little bag that is shipping off today…a long overdue thank you for someone…I got my Noah’s Ark blocks together…they fit!!! And, I prepared two more blocks for stitching on the “My Home or Yours” quilt.
I also completed block 9 of the Mystery Designer Block of the Month from Fat Quarter Shop…I love each of these blocks and can’t believe there are only three more to go!
But my favorite finish this week was finishing Nanette’s “Mixed Bag to Quilt.” I won the pattern and kit from Terri at Purple & Paisley during her birthday giveaway. When it arrived I had a hard time beginning the project because I so just wanted to frame the vintage fabrics! After finishing the bag, I’m so glad I made it. It is such a great size…I’ve been making lots of smaller bags and really needed a larger one more than I realized. Thanks, Nanette for designing such a great pattern!
Here are photos of the front and back…I love both sides!
Oh, and I’ve been crossing things off my “Time for Tea” list as well…one more project to finish, and I’ll be ready to wrap things up!
Happy Sewing!

Hello and nice to meet you! I am also a Moda maniac! And we are also doing many of the same projects, except you are farther along than me.
I am also addicted to lists! I love being able to
mark things off the list. I find it quite liberating.
Thanks for sharing and can’t wait to see more!

Congrats on checking things off your list, especially not feeling well. I love everything you’ve made…the Noah’s Ark and the purse are so cute! I am definitely a list maker. If it’s not on there, it doesn’t get done.

I’ve been working on a list of “must do” things, also. This list has been getting longer and longer and today was the day to get started. I completely understand.

Lists are a must in my life. I love all your projects, especially the Noaha’s Ark and purse. Everything looks wonderful and you must have been one busy gal to get all this done.

I want to cross things off my list. Hopefully in the next week or so I can do that. Your work is beautiful as always.
