Some slow stitching and some pouches......

Hi everyone,

 

 

I hope you are all doing well. 

I've been hand quilting my Old Tobacco Road quilt.

 It's not a fast process as this is a queen size quilt.

 

 

I'm just doing some simple hand quilting following the rows and such.

But its going to be nice and soft when its done.

 

I made a few more pouches for Christmas gifts.

I just didn't have a chance to share them before now.

Here they are.

 

The first one below was for my daughters best friend.

 

 

The two hearts pouch was for my sons girlfriend.

 

The Fallout 4 boxy pouch was for my 20 year old son.

 

I had fun making all these little pouches.

 

I'm excited to get the quilting done on this quilt.

 

I'm linking with Slow Stitching Sunday.

 

Have a great day!!

 

hugs

A boxy pouch Christmas gift and some fabric for me!!!

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all doing well.

I made another pouch the other day.

This one is also a gift for Christmas.

Thankfully the recipient doesn't follow my blog.

This is for an 18 year old boy/young man.

He loves superman, or any DC comic.

So, I used that as the basis for my pouch.

Here it is.

I used the boxy pouch tutorial by Pink Stitches found here.

It's an excellent tutorial.

It was my first time trying it out and it went together no problem.

The Superman symbol that I paper pieced was a free pattern found 

on the Fandom in Stitches blog here.

I hadn't paper pieced in a really long time. 

It's was a bit intimidating for me, but it worked out so well.

I'm really pleased with it.

I know he is going to love it.

I will fill this pouch with toiletries for him as part of the gift.

Here is the picture showing the interior fabric.

All this fabric is from my stash.

With all the sales on this past weekend,

I just couldn't pass some of them up.

One store in particular, Mad About Patchwork, had a huge selection of fabric on sale.

A lot of this fabric has been out for a while, 

but since I just got back into quilting this fall, I never had any of it in my stash.

I couldn't pass up the deals.

So, I kind of went crazy with the shopping.

I bought 35 half yard cuts of fabric.

I know, it's a lot! lol!!!

But I love it all.

Since the price of fabric is going up here in Canada,

I gotta take advantage of all the deals I can get.

It's not as affordable to order from the US anymore since the Canadian dollar is so low again.

And plus, I love supporting the Canadian Shops.

Too many are closing their doors.

It's so sad.

This will fill some colour gaps in my stash too.

So excited about it.

I have more fabric coming soon too.

I know......I'm really spoiled.

Hugs
