My daughter did just that! She is an avid reader and a total cat lover, so, she found the perfect fabric in my stash, and requested a purse. As most of you know, I don't use patterns, so I set out to make exactly what she asked for.<br />

The bag ended up pretty straight forward. I wanted to do straight line quilting, so I used painters tape to mark off the line to get started. Easy-peasy!<br />

I used woven belting for the handles. I made them slant in to the center just a bit. If you do this, there isn't the gap in the middle when you hold it by the handles or over your shoulder. I started off at 2 1/2 in. in from the bottom and ended up at 3 1/2 in. in from the top corner. I stopped sewing about 2 1/2in. from the top of the bag.<br />

It is fast and easy. This was a free pattern by Moda from 'Cabbages & Rose'. Christa from <a href="http://christaquilts.com/">Christa Quilts</a> sent me a box of scraps from which to choose the fabric!<br />

It was beautiful and so much fun. They had a block exchange, and I won 13 blocks! My dear friend Dotty, sitting there on the right, won 12 blocks. We decided to combine our blocks and make a quilt for MCC...the organization that I sew most of my projects for. (See info above in the "Who are <a href="http://aquiltersmission.blogspot.com/2014/11/love-retreats-and-love-winning.html">"Who are MCC & MDS?" tab)</a><br />

We needed only to add a few more squares, have it professionally quilted and then I got to bind it. Now it is done and ready to go up for auction at this years sale!! The sale is held at Fresno Pacific University on April 10 & 11. Thanks to all the ladies from "Quilting in the Pines"!!<br />

I have a wonderful friend that will be going with me, or me with her, and I like making small gifts for my retreat buddies.<br />
I found these panels in amongst the donated fabrics that I get periodically. These 4 little masterpieces made me actually laugh out loud, so I knew that I just had to make a little wall hanging for Dotty.<br />
<br />
I know that this is a little late, but I just found it! I hope you enjoy this post and have a fantastic HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!<br />

I outlined each scene, FMQ around each scene, straight lined around each block, loop-t-loop in the black borders, and finally just straight line quilted in the middle of the purple and green outside borders. I did machine binding.<br />

It was such an honor to be asked to make a wall hanging for inside our church foyer art gallery for the Advent season! I jumped right on this task and chose some great fabric and a block from the book (which I love) "another BITE of SCHNIBBLES" I chose the block called "Two Percent" and made a single large block...24x24.<br />

She was wondering if she could commission me to make her a couple of purses for Market. I quickly said yes, and I was off. She wanted a 3 zipper cross body bag similar to the one from Dog Under My Desk, and a large tote similar to an Amy Butler tote she had seen and liked. Most of you know that I don't use patterns, so I went right to my graph paper to design said bags.<br />
<br />
Christa requested white, gray and black with white zippers.<br />

But, every once in a while it sits for a few days at a time. I decided that Miss Ellie needed a pretty cozy for just those occasions.<br />
<br />
I dug into my scraps and found just the ones I wanted to use. I also decided to do something I had never done before.....keep reading.<br />

I used every decorative stitch (that I liked) on my sewing machine! I have never used decorative stitches for anything before. It was fun. Some I will use again and others not so much. This cozy fits best with the table off. More fun color and brightness added to my sewing cave!<br />

I'm talking about the Harley Davidson kind of hog. I don't ride or drive one, I don't even own one.....but I know several people who do, and they are part of the <a href="http://www.cmausa.org/ministry/">Christian Motorcycle Association</a>. My daughter/SIL and my sister/BIL are all involved in this worthy organization. They have several fundraisers each year and I love their cause. Transportation for missionaries in their every day lives. That could mean a bicycle, camel, jeep - whatever will get them from here to there. I have decided to take on several projects to help them along this year. I have already told you about the 25 <a href="http://aquiltersmission.blogspot.com/2014/10/always-small-projects-in-progress.html">pouches</a> (out of lipstick fabric) that my sister is selling to raise money. I decided to make a quilt for their big fundraiser in February.<br />
<br />
First off, I had to go on line to find 'Harley Davidson' fabric. Then I shopped for coordinating fabrics in the Harley colors.<br />

My old one had given up the ghost and I needed something more comfortable. I was sooooo fortunate to find a wonderful chair at a thrift (op) store for only $7.00. It wasn't much to look at, but it was super comfy.<br />

I remembered that I had this sewing notions fabric set aside for a tote and decided that it would be better served as my new sewing chair!<br />

I found this coordinating stripe in my stash and it quickly became the back of the chair. I made the back cover like a slip cover. I used batting and canvas for the back of this piece also.<br />

They are fun <em>FAST</em> projects that pack a lot of punch! While I was laid up in bed, I let my fingers do the shopping. I found this little bundle on eBay, and thought it appropriate for the center of my new dinning room table.<br />

Great accommodations! Only Dotty and I in this BIG room. A great time was had by all. It will be a whole year before I get to go to another retreat. Sad face!<br />

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A few months ago, I volunteered to pattern test for my dear friend Lorna of <a href="http://sewfreshquilts.blogspot.com/">Sew Fresh Quilts</a>. We had a choice between 'I love 2 sew' and 'I love 2 quilt'. I chose the 'sew' mini. I knew that someday I would make the 'quilt' mini also. The problem, the wall space I have to hang them on is very narrow and the 'quilt' mini is designed horizontal! I contacted Lorna and she graciously said to 'go for it' and redesign it to verticle....so I did. I set about redesigning everything about this mini.</div>

I took all of my pieces to the last retreat I went to and started sewing this little beauty there. I had cut out several wrong pieces and failed to take my scraps with me. So, I had to set this project aside and work on other projects that I had taken.<br />

I had to shrink down some of the elements, and change around all of the settings. The 'quilt' mini has a pink sewing machine. And I added a 'needle' to each of the machines.<br />

I tell you what, the minute I saw this cutie, I knew I had 3 wonderful ladies that I simply must make these for. My sisters!! Yes, all three of them do their own nails and use ugly towels under their hands and polish while doing so. I thought that these would make great birthday gifts for each of them, so I set out to find out their favorite colors.<br />
<br />
This is a FREE download from the <a href="http://www.fatquartershop.com/">Fat Quarter Shop</a>. They even have a tutorial on YouTube! This pattern is super easy and fast. I suggest you get it for yourself or as a gift. If you have a friend that loves polish, give her the pattern with all the needed fabrics and her favorite nail polish! Christmas is coming you know.<br />

This little cutie turns out 14x22. I did some 'organic' line quilting. I like the way it makes this mini lay flat. Easier to get your bottles to stay upright. I sure hope they each like these little gifts.<br />
<br />
I told you about my ruptured disc with my last post, well, I have sense had surgery on my lower back. It has made sitting at my sewing machine difficult, but I think that I will be cleared for normal activities soon! This little cutie was one of the first projects I tried about 1 1/2 weeks post surgery. No pain at this point....just fatigue! This has been the longest 3 1/2 months of my life.<br />

Well, I felt bad for them. Then she brought to my attention that she wanted ME to make them a home....now I get it, I was to make a zipper pouch for each. Weeellllll....I love making pouches, and I was happy to fulfill her request. She loves cats, and I had the perfect fabrics for her to choose from. She also went through my patterns and chose which suited her phone and glasses best.<br />

I hope that she enjoys this pair of dandy pouches. I also added some beads for the pulls. I have just started doing that with my zips and it is so much fun!<br />

This is the 4th one I've made, and I don't think I'll ever get tired of them. If you are interested in this pattern, it was created by Sew Demented and is for sale on her blog.<br />

<br />
First off, I went through a bag of scraps that I bought from Christa of <a href="http://christaquilts.com/">Christa Quilts</a> and picked out some coordinating fabrics. Then I sewed them together to make a piece of 'fabric' for the outside.<br />
<br />

Then I started quilting it with matchstick quilting. This was at the beginning, so the lines are further apart.<br />

I found this stack of pre-cut pieces, and decided that I'd just use them to make this runner. Why cut into something new, when I had all of these perfectly good rectangles?<br />

I have trouble with my extension table shifting when I sew, and I am always having to push it back up to the plate of my machine. After some thought, I figured that having it sit on a mat of some kind would keep it in place. <br />
<br />
I dug through my scraps and found this off cut from a quilt that I made for my grand daughter. You know, when you baste your top to the back, and you have way more then you need. I also cut some circles with the AccuQuilt Go baby that I am trying out.<br />

Please do not look at the ugly backing. I just picked any ol' scrap that was big enough from my stash. The circles are just raw edge appliqued down.<br />

I have now completed 3 and have about 6 more to go. These guys are quick and fun. I am all for both of those traits.<br />
<br />
I have a small 3 shelf bookcase near my sewing machine, and use it all the time. I don't like dust or to dust, so I decided that a table runner was the answer.<br />

This is the very first time I've used my design wall! As you can see, I haven't even pressed it yet. I still need to add some grommets to the bottom and secure it.<br />

I work with a LOT of donated fabrics, kits and BOMs. This quilt was one of them. I'd like to thank Cindy from <a href="http://www.liveacolorfullife.net/">Live A Colorful Life</a> for donating this BOM! It is always fun to see what others purchase, start sewing and then change their mind for whatever reason.<br />

So there you have it, it is all together and ready to be finished. I have already turned it into the NFQs, I'm anxious to see what they do with her.<br />
<br />
If you'd like to know how you can donate your fabric, kits, UFOs or BOMs...just leave a comment and I will get back to you! All donations are made into lovely quilts and donated to MCC (see the page in my heading) and the money raised goes towards worldwide disaster relief.<br />

Here is a beautiful UFO that was also donated by Cindy at <a href="http://www.liveacolorfullife.net/">Live A Colorful Life.</a> We appreciate her generosity and kindness.

She ended up 89x104! A great size for a queen bed. The binding will be the pale stripe fabric. You can see it better in the picture above.<br />

She has been a faithful follower here on my blog and in real life. Her birthday is only 3 days away, so I had to think of something to make her quick. I had to be able to use what I have in my stash because I can't drive yet. Soooooo,,,<br />

I didn't have a pattern, but had seen something similar to this on the "Dog Under My Desk" site. She calls it her 'zip-n-go' hipster. I take absolutely NO credit for this design or idea.<br />

The lining is just quilters cotton. The outside is deco weight fabric. There is interfacing on all pieces. I used warm and white as batting before I quilted the front and back. The zippers are from "zipit" on Craftsy. The purse measures 6 1/2 x 8.<br />

Now, let's hope she likes it! She does like it! She's already used it for an out of town adventure!! Success!<br />

These cute little Santas were donated in a panel. I cute them apart and made a small Christmas quilt. They depict Santa's journey in preparing for Christmas Eve delivery.<br />

My sister challenged me to make a small wallet for her. Two regular slots and one zippered slot. Here it is. I didn't have a pattern, so I had to use my imagination. It ended up way to small for her needs, so I made another.<br />

Then that same sister asked if I'd be interested in making some small pouches for a fundraiser for CMA (Christian Motorcycle Assoc). Of course I said, yes! So I got to work on these identical 5x7 make-up pouches. They went very quickly, and have all sold! I will be making more to round out my original promised 10 pouches. I have since made an additional 5!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Finally, my daughter asked for a 2 pocket pouch for their 'envelope money system'. I knew exactly what pattern I would use. It is a FREE download from <a href="http://filiandlino.blogspot.com/2014/05/tutorial-double-zippers-pouch.html">fili & lino</a>. This pattern gets a bit tricky, but it is so very cute. I had more photos of the progress of this bag making, but for some reason, they wouldn't download.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoyed a peak into my small projects making!!<br />
