Scenes from the Road of Life
It was so satisfying to make the bag for Sew Powerful yesterday, I made another today. I used the same type of fabrics, this time in different colorways. The outside is pink and orange and the inside liner was made from a batik fabric with sunflowers in yellow, orange and burgandy. I made a pocket for the outside of the front because the pink plaid had a small discoloration there.
I started making a bag from old denim yesterday for Sew Powerful, who send reusable hygiene products to young girls in Africa. They are asking volunteers to make bags to include with the pads. I didn't have the webbing for the bag's strap, so I set it aside until I could get some.
Today I made another one, this time making the strap from fabric. I used some orange woven plaid fabric for the outside and a blue fabric for the inside.
I finished up the second half of the quilting on the Plaid Bricks quilt.
It looks great. This pantograph stitched very nicely and it looks great with the straight lines of the quilt.
Dogs In Sweaters is a pattern by Elizabeth Hartman. I'm making a pillow for Hailey and her family. They had a black and tan dachshund, Duke, whom they lost recently. So, when Hailey was her for a few days, during her spring break, I asked her to pick the colors.
I cut and sewed it all together while she was out having a day with her Grandpa. I worked on it today while attending a Groove Session on Brave Patch from 9am to 11am. Then the Sew Modern Connection zoomed from 11am until about 3pm. So, that was a long day of sewing, but I got both the top done and the dog's name pieced on one of the back parts. That was a lot of sewing, I'm tired.
