What I Made for the Craft Show ~ Christmas, 2011


In early December, the Village of Cinderberry had a Craft Show and I decided to join along in the fun.

As you can see, I've been very busy getting all of these neat things sewn, knitted, etc. in time for the show!  No wonder our Christmas decorating is behind this year!
My neighbor and good friend Sandy and I shared a table - this is my side :)
(My Strawberry's Table Runner is still available for details click here)
And here's Sandy as she's putting out her handmade goodies!
This table runner is very striking - Since it didn't sell yet, I'm still thinking of quilting it!  Its my own design.
Love this tote bag! Its a pattern by Penny Sturges from the Aug. 2007 McCall's Quilting magazine. 


These hold the Ipad2 nicely with or without the magnetic cover - or they can hold anything you like.


Hot Pads using this cool tutorial ~ Click Here  

Pom-Pom Knitted Scarves made of the SOFTEST yarn ever (in my opinion).
Lengths vary from 56 to 60 inches long.

Crocheted Shell Scarves really soft.

This mini purse holds cell phones - mostly Blackberry size and smaller.

This great bag was made with this pattern:  Click Here for dimensions :)

Very cute purse made with beautiful Batik fabric and the Potato Chip Bag pattern, click here for pattern details. 

Two inside pockets and two outside pockets!


Very cool vintage buttons I stacked from my grandmother's and mothers button tins.

Small purse using Little Jelly Bags pattern - will hold cell phone, etc. Mine is 5" X 5- 3/4" and has a velcro closing.
Another vintage button

Thanks for stopping by...hope you have a great weekend!

Quick Summer Tote Bag


Decided to make a new tote with a pack of charm squares by MODA that I bought recently.  This pattern came from McCalls Quilting August 2007.  It measures 14 inches wide and 11 inches tall not including the handles.  I was really pleased with how easy it went together and quick!  Only one problem - when I sewed on the handles I forgot to pin them on at least a half an inch or more beyond the seam and now they are pulling away - which means I have to take the seam apart and redo the handles - otherwise I'm really happy with this new summer bag.  Penny Sturges designed it - she's published a few really nice patterns in McCall's Quilting.  Hope you all are enjoying the end of summer - pretty soon we'll be getting out all of our fall sweaters and fall decorations :)
