I love wool appliqué

This is the Savannah Wool Table Runner from The Noble Wife. I love doing wool applique!  No finished edges to deal with.  This will go to the quilt shop and when they are done with it I get to keep it.

Moda Bake Shop Progressive dinner

Check out the Progressive dinner Moda is having.  It is going on today over at The Polka Dot Chair.  

Wall Quilt done

I finished the top of this small quilt today.  It is the background for the wool snowman I showed earlier.  Each month there is a different wool center to make for it.  This is for the Quilt shop.  I want to make a second one for me.

Here it is with the snowman in the center.

These patterns are by "Under the Garden Moon".  They are called "As Time Goes By".

Cosmo bag

Here is the Cosmo Bay I made from Amy Butler's book Style Stitches.

The bag is made with fabric from the Ambrosia collection from Robert Kaufman.

Here is a picture of the inside.  I love the pink!

I used my new sewing machine to sew tis bag and it worked wonderfully!

Onto the next project.

My new toy!!!

Here is what I bought today!

I am so excited about it.  It is the first machine I bought that was not a floor model.  I got to take this one out of the box!  I sold my Janome 300E embroidery machine and traded in my Husqvarna  Rose sewing/embroidery machine.  I got to keep my Husqvarna 500 for travel or for Breanna to use.

The machine I bought is Janome 6600P.  The P is for professional.  It has a professional grade motor in it and it sews 1000 stitches a minute.  I can't even see that fast!  It has an amazing amount of features on it.  I am still learing about it.

Monthly Bag Challenge

These are the fabrics I chose for the Cosmo Bag.

The top fabric will be the main fabric, the middle fabric will be the trim, and the bottom fabric will be the lining.  I cut all the pieces out today and the trillion interfacing pieces.  I am using Decor Bond for the interfacing.  The pattern called for Shape Flex but my shop did not have that.  But with this being such a large bag I thing the extra stiffness from the Decor Bond will be perfect.  I do have the outside of the bag sewn together and it stands up by itself!  This bag will be so cute!

Monthly Bag Challenge

Check this out over at JemJam.  I am going to try to do this.  I have my fabric picked out for the first month's bag. She is using Amy Butler's book Style Stitches.  I got the book for Christmas so this will get me to make the bags in the book.

Today's project

I think this snowman is so cute.  He is the center for a wall hanging that has a different middle for each month.  I have not made the quilt base this goes on.  I will soon.  I just wanted to show you this snowman.

Here I am. Some projects I have done.

This is the project I did at the Bay SHore Quilt retreat in October.  It is all done in wools with wool thread and by hand.  Pattern by Under the Garden Moon.

Margo purse pattern by Lazy Girl designs.  I have made 5 of these and have 2 more cut out.

I am so proud of this wall hanging.  It is at the Backstreet Quilt shop in Elkton.
