A
co-worker has a birthday next week so I made her a little cosmetic bag on my
new sewing / embroidery machine.
I
love this project from Anita Goodesign.
The stippling and the zipper installation is part of the design so the
entire bag is made in the hoop.
In
an effort to clear out some UFOs, I pulled out Willow Weave. WW was a sew-along hosted by Aunt ‘Reen last
June. I don’t remember why I didn’t
finish. I had all of the blocks pieced, just needed to be laid out and
the rows sewn together. This is the
layout, I’m in the process of sewing everything together now.
I’m
planning to quilt this myself…nothing fancy, using the walking foot and simple stitching in the ditch.
That has been my weekend in a nut shell...well, other than a quilt show. I'll share more about that in a couple of days.
Hope
you all have a great week ahead J

a very nice gift for you co-worker.
your quilt looks good so far. quilting in the ditch will work perfectly.
Beautiful bag and quilt top. Have you ever done any free motion quilting? It is fun, you should try it!

The cosmetic bag is gorgeous, Jeanna. I'm sure your co-worker will think herself very lucky!
Love the Willow Weave quilt. It's going to be fab when it's done. :o)
Your cosmetic bag is wonderful...your co-worker is going to flip! Love your quilt!
Very pretty cosmetic bag! Have fun with your new embroidery machine! Nice quilt too!
I love her name and Anita Goodesign appear to live up to it! :o) Very nice gift and so pretty too.
I love simple sewing and design. At times projects can get too complicated. Your quilt has that simple, cozy design that you just want to snuggle under.
Love how colorful the quilt is! And that sweet bag is so pretty :)
Have a delightful week, Jeanna - hugs!
Your weekend looks to have been very productive. I'd love to hear more about your new machine what size hoop did you use for this project?
What a pretty bag, Jeanna! Your machine does great embroidery! Great stash buster quilt, too! You can even put that out for the 4th of July!
Cheers!
Great cosmetic bag and your quilt is stunning :-)
Okay, you have me with a whole new language.
What are walking foot and simple stitching in the ditch?
Such a pretty little cosmetic bag. I'm sure your friend is going to just LOVE it!
Your Willow Weave is looking great! (just got mine back from the longarm quilter)
