A Busy Little Sew and Sew

This is the aftermath of a 3 day sewing binge. My, did I work, and I know I got alot done, but there is not much to show for it. I was able to get the machine quilting done on the baby quilt, make the binding and get it attached. I had already hand quilted the hearts. I made this top 2 years ago. Now I can cross it off my UFO list!! A nice wash and it was ready to go to it's new home. My neighbor's granddaughter, Zoey, now has her quilt.I also took an orphan block, set it on point, and framed it. I marked and basted it and have already got a nice chunk of it quilted. The picture does not do it justice.
Theeeeeen, I made an Amish table runner and matching coasters. I love the coasters Winona sent me and used the same pattern. They measure 4x4 inches and are fun to make. I will hand quilt the table runner, The colors are not great in the photo. The center block is a nice coral, not pink like it shows and the end blocks are a muted purple and a turquoise.
Then I got the notion to make a bag. I could not find my pattern for the life of me. I have only ever made one bag pattern, and Margaret gave me the pattern. Since she is in England (I messed that up...she is FROM England, but IN Spain...I was tired), I was on my own. I had used it enough that I should know it by heart. I was certain it would all come back to me. I had a different idea for the front panel though. I grabbed my favorite color combination...pink and brown, in case you don't know me....I made a couple dozen of those and framed them around this........my very first embroidery project. And I got this....I know it is blurry and dark, but you get the idea. Here is the back....It turned out bigger than I wanted, but I am not going backwards. Having no pattern did not come without problems. After I got the lining attached and did the "abracadabra, turn it inside out" trick, I had attached the lining wrong side out....I should have gotten that part right out of all of it. I am a quilter for pities sake!! RIGHT SIDES TOGETHER!!!! Yeesh. I had to frog it and redo it the correct way....RIGHT SIDES TOGETHER!Now as I sit here in the mess of the aftermath, I am plotting more sewing projects. More bags...simpler than the one I shared today. Another table runner with matching coasters. I think a few pillows may find their way out of here too. For now, I will be satisfied with what I got done this weekend. I am off to relax! (the mess can wait til tomorrow!)
