Fun Sewing Day

I finished my cute little Kindle bag today.  Once I got started on it last night, all I could think about this morning was sewing on this bag.  After doing some domestic stuff this morning, I went in and played.  

This is the inside pocket that will hold the cord.  I need to put some fusible Velcro to keep it from gaping open.  I stitched this bird first.  It's been a long time since I've done any free motion embroidery and it shows.  But I had fun so I'm not going to loose sleep over it. 

I'd love to be as good as Carol at mamacjt.  She does amazing work!  

My Kindle is quite happy in it's new home. 

I'm happy to have January's Color Palette Challenge finished. 

Design Wall Monday

Last night I looked at my blank design wall and decided that I should pull out my Color Palette Challenge project and do a little bit on it so I could have something to post about today.  I've been quilting and knitting this week, trying not to start a new project.  But I had this one all planned out and ready to start.  (Click the button on the left for more info.)  And once I started, I didn't want to stop.  Understand why I didn't want to start anything new and shiny???

When I printed off this month's palette, I knew I wanted to make a bag for my Kindle with strips out of a bag of strips I had bought at a quilters sale and appliques from GO! dies that I hadn't used yet.   I love the little wall hanging on the bird package so I am kind of going with that.  I wondered if my color choices are a bit too far from what Vicki had chosen.  Then I look again and again and I decided that this is what I have, this is what I am going to use.  Sometimes I just have to make the tough decisions in the quilting room.  LOL
