A New Obsession

A tote I made for Rebecca's birthday. I am getting to be a pro at whipping out the the quilted totes.

And the back:

i have these owl beads i scored off of ebay many months ago and i love them but have no clue what to use them for. I had originally thought keychains but I dont know. For now, they are lined up on my bookshelf. Any ideas?

And here is Rudy ready to attack.



And finally one of two new pillows for the living room. Things are starting to look more polished and grown-up around here.

happy accidents

This may be my new favorite bag.



I have been working on a kalidescope quilt for a friend, using a templete I got as a gift for Christmas. I quickly realized that the precision needed for this block and for all the points too match up was beyond both my skill and patience level. Instead I chose to save two of my favorite ones and turn them into this tote. I put buttons in the middle to cover up my mistakes.



I love the look of the quilting on this back and the not quite straight lines.



Finally, a shot of the inside which is a pale green (it is grey and dreary outside so the colors are slightly off) and has a pocket with an elastic closure.

Plus, new fabric:

fold me up, fold me down

a clean slate and everything organized and ready for new projects.
