New Wine Bags


I created these bags with traditional Nepali fabrics. Love them!! I made both of these in about 10 minutes. Super Easy.

Wine Bag

We are headed to a friends tonight and I remembered we still don't have any wine bags. I made this in about 10 minutes and I love it. Super easy and I didn't measure anything just wrapped it around the bottle, made a few cuts and sewed it all together.

February Block Swap

Another completed block for my block swap group.
This is definitely not a pattern of choice, some swappers have special requests and this was one. Although it wasn't my preference it gives me a chance to use up some of my fabric stash and continue to perfect my skills.

My First Stained Glass Piece

This is my first stained glass piece! It took me all day long but was well worth the time. I forgot to take pictures during the entire process but here is one:
At this stage I had already cut and sanded all of my glass and was beginning to wrap the edges with the copper foil. Once all of the copper is on, you solder and it's pretty much done. The longest part was cutting and sanding the glass. I really enjoyed making this piece and plan to make a larger piece soon.

Sew Simple Blocks


These photos are so bad! I took them with my ipad because the battery on my camera wasn't charged. Ehhh, maybe I will take more later. I really like the orange block.I started this quilt in 2009. My mom asked about it last month and I was inspired to pull it back out. I forgot how much I liked these blocks, maybe I will finish it this year.

January Block of the Month

I have started the Block of the Month club once again. I love the idea of the club but I got to busy for it before so I had to quit. Now I don't have time to quilt much at all so the monthly block forces me into my sewing room. I hope to start incorporating Nepali fabrics into these blocks soon but I haven't found any that I just love yet. This block is going to Terry in San Larenzo, California who requested pinks, blacks and greys. I will share what I receive when it arrives :-).
