None to go!

I finished the clutch for my mother-in-law!  I like it a lot...although I think I like the one I made for my mom better.

 It was Danny's idea to put the vertical stripe.  I love it!
 I LOVE this fabric.  It's from Connecting Threads
 Zebra lining!
So there you go!  Two finished clutches for Mother's Day!  I love making these!  :)  And sewing!

One down!

I have completed one of my Mother's Day gifts!  This one is for my mom...I'm incredibly excited about it!

 It's a clutch!  She asked for one at Christmas, but I made her a quilt instead...so now she'll get it!


The lining is almost always my favorite part of every bag!



It felt so good to be at the sewing machine again!  My sewing room is a WRECK right now; I really need to clean it up!  That made it kind of hard, but once I found everything I needed it went smoothly!  I have another of these to make (in different fabrics, of course) tomorrow!

Mother's Day!

Tonight I'm planning on making Mother's Day gifts for my mom and mother-in-law!  I think I'll probably just make them zippered clutches...they're easy, and they have both asked if they would ever get one!  :)  I should have pictures to put up tonight or tomorrow!

...I'm incredibly excited to sew.  Sew excited, if you will.  :)

Holy Cow!

One of my favorite things is that quilting bloggers do giveaways...I always enter them, but have never won anything.  Until NOW.  Rachel at Stitched in Color did a Flea Market Fancy giveaway and I won!!  I'm on cloud 9 right now!  Lucky for me, it is a bundle of the warm tones...I just bought a bundle of the cool colorway, so these are all new to me!

Seriously, I'm so excited.  My husband just declared that I should probably win something everyday, because it puts me in a good mood.  :)

Also, I haven't sewed in literally forever.  I need to whip up some Mother's Day gifts, so I'll be forced back to my machine soon!  Hooray!
