I made another small hand bag using Annie Unrein's pattern.  This turned great, but I think I need to still purchase the right hardware to properly hook and slide to make the adjustments on the strap.

It has inside pockets with a zippered compartment.  The only thing I didn't like was the small zippered compartment on the outside.  It is a bit small for me to use and place credit cards and money. My currency rolled around and it did get in the way when I was trying to get my debit card out to use.

I made this sewing bag known as the 'beatle bag'.  It has lots of pockets to store my sewing stuff.  I made it to match my many vintage Singer sewing machines.

I got ambitious about two weekends ago and made this purse.  The crafter is on Craftsy and she was giving out this pattern for free.  I love the design and made this using leatherette fabric from Jo Ann's. For a small bag, it holds a lot.  There are three separate compartments which are sewn together.  It's cute!

I saw this thread catcher pattern at one of the quilt shops here in Las Vegas and loved it, so I made it using vintage Singer fabrics to commemorate my vintage Singer sewing machines.

Here's clue 2 and 3.  I am behind at the moment...things like my job have been getting in the way.  No matter, I have saved and printed my copies and will get to them during my winter break.  I just downloaded clue #4 and I love the colors.  I'm glad I stayed with Bonnie's original color palette.

I thought I didn't sew much this quarter, but I have.  I have been working on bits and pieces anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes chunks of sewing time.  I have also been attending a local quilt group on Thursday evenings and have tried to work on some of my projects.  Here are some pictures of what I've completed thus far.

I made a few more blocks from Leah Day's block of the month project.  I have to pin quilt them and start free motion quilting.  I am a bit behind, I will catch up.

I also made 4 more pot holders.  They are cute and look just like pies!

I made a Lazy girl bag using the 'Acoma' turtle fabric.  I love it!  This is going to be a Christmas gift for Mom.

Bonnie Hunter's En Provence quilt mystery....
Well, I've started!  I've sewn together the 4 patch blocks and have spun the seams.  I need 190 more!  I have pinned them together in numbers of 10 for easier counting...just as Bonnie has suggested.  I need more neutrals (I really don't, but it's fun to shop).
En Provence...step 1

   

I love my new ironing board cover!  I made this about a month ago.  I also added another layer of cotton batting.

Whoohoooo!  Bonnie has our first clue up!  What beautiful colors!  I can hardly wait to start.  I bought some beautiful majenta fabric from a new quilt store here in town.  This store is so big and has many beautiful bolts of fabric and a wide variety at that.  I went back this past week and found more and left with a big smile and another bag project's worth to sew.

The link to her mystery is on the right top hand corner!  Have fun!
