Elvis Tote Bag

Elvis Tote Bag

Size:  12.5" x 18"

Craft Panel by VIP Cranston

I was at Fabricland in the Liquidation section and came across this craft panel for an Elvis Tote Bag.  It's a heavyweight cotton duck fabric.  I chose to add a lining with a fabric from my stash (cotton from Northcott Silk).

It will be a birthday present for my aunt in June - shhh!

Happy Quilting!

Plus Quilt Pillow

Plus Quilt Pillow

Size:  16.5" x 16.5"

Purchased pillow form:  16" x 16"

I just played with my green scrap bin the other day and about a metre of fabric from my stash for backing (including backing the front for quilting), & binding.  I love the look of all the plus quilts that have been popping up everywhere and have one on my list to do at some point but for now, my couch gets a new pillow.

I made an envelope style back which I also added batting to and quilted simply with 1/2" lines.

Here's a close up:

Each square finishes at 1".

Somehow my green scrap bin seems to have just as many scraps as when I started?!?

Happy Quilting!

Sunnyside - Jelly Wish

Pattern:  Jelly Wish, Tiny 96 by Pieced Tree Patterns

Size:  50" x 60"

This pattern uses a jelly roll almost in it's entirety.  I chose Sunnyside by Kate Spain for Moda.  I quilted it in the ditch using Sulky 733-4014 and then free motion quilted squiggly lines in each bar of fabric - they're not that even but I still love how it turned out overall!

For the backing I used a blue flannel multi colour & size polka dots.  The binding is Botanica by Felicity Miller for Free Spirit, Westminster Fabrics.

I think my favourite print in this line may be this text print (& it does appear in several colour-ways):

Happy Quilting!
