Hidden treasures from the past

Found these in a drawer. Thought you might like to see them before they get tossed.

Zipper Pouches

I've been working on several quilting projects recently, and Easton has been asking to help sew. The last time he showed an interest in sewing, I helped him make a simple pillowcase, using a kit from Craft Warehouse. I let him help me with some of the piecing on his Stormtrooper quilt, but he needed a project with a bit more instant gratification. I found this video tutorial by GourmetQuilter, and since it is mostly simple straight lines, it fit the bill. Easton used a fat quarter each of Just Wing It by MoMo and a random blue fabric from my stash, so all we had to do was go buy some fun zippers.


Easton's zippered pouches turned out so cute, I decided to make one for myself. I used Jenny Doan's tutorial to mix things up a bit. I chose some Riley Blake scraps for the exterior, a scrap of Kona Cotton- Grass for the lining, and some random orange binding scraps for the zipper tabs.

Toreys quilt

Torey told us the color for ovarian cancer is teal (the color for breast cancer is pink). This has some teal-ish colors in it. Samantha pieced and quilted this. Monica helped iron and pin. Grandma sewed the binding on. I think Samantha did a great job on her first quilt.

Easter Skirt

Abby is modeling the new skirt that I made for her.  Found the fabric at Hobby Lobby.  


Baby Quilt

I pieced this baby quilt and Mom quilted it.  It turned out adorable (the colors are much better in person).  The funny square is the baby name, which I blocked out - ya know, to protect the innocent.  I used this tutorial.
