So I have my holidays mixed up!!

I  know it is almost Easter, but I had to post my latest finish.  I just got Comfort and Joy back from Leisa and boy did she do a great job.  It is the first quilt I have ever had custom done and I am so glad that I did.  The pattern was designed by my good friend Pat over at Silver Thimble a couple of years ago, there are several groups doing it as a quilt along now.  (you will be so happy that you did).  I just finished filling out the entry for this in the East Cobb Show, hope it is selected. 

Wooly pocket finish



Pocket Full of Posies



While in Ellijay for Pat's retreat one of our projects was this cute wool bag,  when I first saw the pattern I knew I would definitely make it.  This would be the perfect pattern to use some of my hand dyed wools.  The applique flowers worked up really quickly, but I couldn't finish it at the retreat because I didn't take the right kind of interfacing with me.  Of course when I came back I put it to the side with the intention of finishing it the next week, well that didn't happen.  I finally finished mine last night.

Here is my version of the Pocket Full of Posies bag.  There is also a needle keep included in the pattern, haven't made it yet.  I plan on using this for some of my smaller sewing projects.  If you are interested in the pattern you can get it from Silver Thimble Quilt Co.or from Fat Quarter Shop.  You can also check out my etsy shop for a kit to make the bag.  You can purchase it in different color ways.
