small wall pocket totes

送信者 small projects

I want a small bag to hold small staff. I always lose something on my computer desk, especially flash drive and cell phone.
I found a cute site, Jcasa handmade, and she offered a wonderful free project just I was looking for. Those bags are cute, but too much for me. So I made more simple ones.

The size of body is 5" x 4-1/2" and handle size is 12" x 1/2".
Make a patchwork 11" x 5" in size and fold half, sew the sides. Attach the same size of lining and a handle. That's it. Simple.

The organizers are there on the wall. But still a big problem remains.　How can I keep tidying my staff in my mind before taking three steps which is enough for me to forget everything?

Tenth block. Two more left. I really enjoy this BOM.
The fabric of flowers is the same one of the First block. I didn't like black lines on it, but now I found that it is very effective in this design and I should try any design of fabric for flowers.

It is time to prepare for border setting.
I bought orange fabric with small white flower on it. I can't wait cutting and setting them all. But, I know I need take a deep breath. Don't rush. I have remained the 11th block intact.

Next update will be soon, I hope.

mini Christmas quilt

When I look for some scraps for nine patch project, I found some Christmas fabric. I kept them all together and waited the season. Now, it is time.
I don't want to make a big project anymore in this year, so I pick up some small blocks for the quilt.

The block size is 4-1/2".

Winter stands

Frosty Jack has came this morning. In Japanese calender, yesterday was the first day of winter. It is not real winter, but it means that it getting colder and no hot day anymore. But that calender doesn't seem to match NC's fall. The leaves of maple outside turned color red and yellow. They are gorgeous!

I finished my fall quilt in the last weekend.

Machine or Hand. Which is faster than the other? At least, I enjoy hand quilting much more than machine quilting. My sewing machine doesn't seem like me at all.

Two small Japanese quilts. I made these patchworks last winter and completely forgot about them. I found them when I cleaned my drawer last week. Blue one, almost finished quilting needs a bit more stitch on border and binding. I just finished quilting on one of block of red one. As this one is a good decoration for new year, I am going to be serious for this.
