proof i still sew

I have about a million unfinished quilts in the works. I’m afraid to actually count for fear of the guilt that number would incur. So instead let’s focus on some projects I’ve actually finished!  Here are a few small things I’ve made in the last little while.

Meet Jaime Elefante, so named by my dear friend Amy, made with Indygo Junction’s Eloise & Elmore pattern, and featuring a print from Parisville.

Here is something that is true. I made the below zipper pouch in 5 minutes. It was to contain a birthday present for another dear friend, Erica. It might have been the most fun I’ve ever packed into 5 minutes. Raw edge appliqued with thread-doodling (is there a name for this style? idk.) on bamboo felt (soo soft). This is going on my Make More of These ASAP list.

A lot of what I make gets given away or displayed in the shop, but this is something I actually got to keep. I desperately needed a new everyday bag, and ended up with this Multi-Tasker Tote (one of my favorite bag patterns ever) out of an Innocent Crush home dec weight print. So far I am loving it, with my favorite part being the 4 handy outer pockets.

That’s not all, but it’s all for now.

Tonight we had Creative Guild meeting so it’s about time that I put up some photos from last month’s meeting, eh? Here’s what some of our ladies were up to in February.

Emma Jean is the lucky inheritor of this vintage appliqued quilt top.  Anyone know what this block pattern would be called?

Jennifer’s been on a softie kick.  Here she’s got Hector Giraffe, Polly, and the monky who’s name I forget but who has the most awesome plaid pants & suspenders.  I believe these are all from Softies Only A Mother Could Love.

Nita recently made this ultra sweet Oliver + S Birthday Party Dress for her brand new niece with the AH Spotted Owl print. I’d wear it.

That’s just a taste of all the amazing things our guild members have going. More show & tell from the Suppose Creative Guild soon!

You are all so talented.  I love it when you bring in your projects, finished, or in the works, to share with us.  Beginner or seasoned stitcher, don’t be afraid.  We are only here to encourage you.  Here we have a few examples that have come through the door recently.

Linda has made her first big quilt for a granddaughter.  She brought the quilt in after work (and so courteously dressed for the photo in matching colors.)  We in the shop loved it and think she has one lucky granddaughter!

“Wow” was what we kept saying when Leigh brought in her VW bus blocks.

She is personalizing each of them with the most darling applique and embellishments.

Just look at the detail. Those are beads on the kabobs.

Her embroidery is so charming.

I have to admit, sometimes I’m so excited to see your projects that I completely forget to get out the camera.  Just remind me.  We hope you are adding your project to our Flickr group.  And all you far away friends, we hope you will add your photos there as well.  It just adds to the fun.
