Getting Busy...

Now that the pantry is nearly finished (Jeff will be here soon to install hardware), it's time for me to again turn my attention to the upcoming show. I've already started some new projects, but this year I'm going to have a larger selection of wallets and bags. 

I have some unique prints planned for wallets, featuring a nice range of Kaffe Fassett wallets. I'll list the available ones in my shop after the show. Of course, I'll show them to you first, in the event you'd like to purchase one early.

I'm also going to create more keychains, little zipper pouch keychains, and zippered pouches. Then, I'll have a few Nocturne Overnighter Bags, Ensemble Bags, Bella Totes, and large Kirby Crossbody Bags. 

On the needlework side, I'll be offering embroidered pendants, pinkeeps, and project bags. If I have time I'll add some new items created from vintage quilts, too. I'll wait to tell you more about those in case I don't get to them for this event.

My friend, Cindy has graciously agreed to help in my booth again this year, and I'm looking forward to working with her. We always have a great time together.

So, if you live anywhere in the West Bend, WI area, mark your calendar. I'd love to see you on February 10th at the Washington County Fairgrounds Pavillion.

I'm working at my other job from 10-4 today, but I'll show you another project bag I'm working on. It also features a Michelle Palmer drawing front and center. I think you'll like this one! (Think Valentine's Day!) I have to get going. I'll see you again tomorrow.

If I Ever...

Kaffe Fassett Dear Jane Quilt - unknown

 If I ever...

1. Decide to make another sampler quilt ( I still haven't finished my Farmer's Wife quilt!)...
2. Can bring myself to cutting up my Kaffe Fassett fabrics...
3. Want to make a quilt using 5.5" x 6" squares...

...a Dear Jane Sampler Quilt in these fabrics is what I'll create. 

 

I love this quilt. I love the micro quilting and two layers of batting that bring out the detail in every block. I love how clean and colorful the whole quilt is. I love how everything about it is simply perfection. (Did you just hear me hit the floor in a dead swoon? Yep) I shared it with my Brynwood friends on Facebook, but wanted to share it with you here in case you haven't seen it yet.

I completed my gift for Sunday and can't wait to show it to you on Monday (after it's given to the parents). Today, I'm getting back into my production sewing for the craft show. I'll see you tomorrow...hopefully with some new finished bags to share. 

 

Have a great Friday!

 

Thirty Three...Thirty Four...

Brynwood Needleworks - 33 Orange Kaffe

I've already completed two wallets this week.

I chose colorful Kaffe Fasset fabrics for these.

Brynwood Needleworks - 33 Orange Kaffe

I selected a orange, purple and pink colorway for #33.

Brynwood Needleworks - 34 Blue Kaffe

  Then, I selected a blue colorway for #34.

One of the new features in all my wallets (created since September 1st) is that I've added a special RFID, signal-blocking film that protects the new chip credit cards from identity theft when in your wallet. So, in addition to carrying a wallet that speaks to your style, you can rest assured that your contents are secure, too.

All my latest creations are waiting for you in my Etsy shop: Brynwood Needleworks. I'll be back in the studio. I'd better keep my nose to the grindstone if I want to get through my whole list!
