my little tote bags


These are some of my latest "little projects". I've found that I enjoy making tote bags. They're cute and not only are they reusable, they're washable! I designed and made a larger tote bag, one that can used for shopping or for toting your knitting and quilting projects.

my very own tote bag design



This is my very first tote bag- designed it myself!

my 1st Charm Quilt

the pattern for this quilt is from Quilt Woman, it's from the Straight to the Point series/collection of patterns. Here you see my before and after photo's of cutting the quilt top into 3 sections (all directions are given in the pattern instructions). You cut apart the quilt, rearrange the sections and sew them back together making it look as if you labored and made it all on point- talk about seriously cool! Now for me to get the 2 borders sew on, the binding made and the entire thing quilted.

Sandie's Chocolate Dreams Batik Quilt

May all of your dreams be sweet dreams!
This is the accent strip and binding of the quilt. I used a hand dyed Parakeet Blue batik fabric for the accent strip and binding. I used Kona Cotton in a matching Parakeet Blue for the backing. The Kona Cotton was wonderful to work with and it gives this quilt some weight, making it really nice to cuddle up with when the temperature drops.

2 peas in a pod greeting card

cardstock used is Bazzill, punches used are the ¾ inch circle punch and whale of a circle punch from EK Success rub-ons by Kelly Panacci/Sandy Lion.

I got this idea from the latest Stampin Up mini catalog- but instead of using a stamp I decided to use this cute rub-on because the circles reminded me of peas :)

make your own stationary




I've used stationary bought at an office supply store, cut it in half and stamped it using Versamark water mark ink for a water mark effect. The other I used pigment ink, then used extra fine clear embossing powder- heat set it. This makes a lovely piece of stationary, don't you think so? One box of 100 sheets makes 200 sheets of stationary.
