Stronger Together

 

I'm sewing along with Fat Quarter Shop.  In recognition of Black History month, Fat Quarter Shop asks a designer to come up with a quilt design.  This year the quilt honors little Ruby Bridges, who at 6 years old, walked through a mob of people to go to school.  I gave my daughter a children's book years ago, about Ruby Bridges.  I have loved Ruby Bridges ever since!

I'm making the quilt from Art Gallery fabric, Flower Bloom.  It looks 60's style and has a little girl theme.

This is the block for week 1, a square in a square. It shows the whole line of fabric, which I really love! I will be posting a new block every Thursday on Instagram and Facebook, so stay tuned.


This is what the quilt looks like, it's just 48 X 48.

I'm also making a heart pouch for every grandchild, for Valentine's.

These pouches are very easy and addicting to make!  They are by Center Street quilts on Etsy. I love the bright orange heart charm :)



I only need to make 3 more, maybe 4 or 5.  I like to have some on hand in case I need a gift for someone special.

Thanks for following along, I'll see you next week ❤️

The Holland Pouch

I made three more bags, the Holland Pouch by Center Street Quilts. 

I posted about the first two I made recently here. 

Such easy bags to make and I think they're so pretty.  Choosing the fabric satisfies my creative outlet :)

The Holland Pouch

It's always fun to change things up a little :) My friend Nedra taught me how to make the Holland Pouch by Center Street Quilts. It's such a fun pattern and very easy to make.  The sizes come in small, medium and large.  I've made 2 medium ones so far with a third cut out. 

I used some favorite Lecien fabric I've been hoarding for years to make this bag.  I was so excited about making it that I forgot to put on the handles.  Isn't it darling?  I used 2 layers of batting instead of the Soft and Stable, just because I have so much batting!  

Gotta love Ruby Star Society fabric!  It's called "Tomato, Tomatoe".  I remembered to sew the handles on this time.  

Did you notice the little zipper pulls I used?  I ordered them from China, using the Aliexpress app on my phone.  They cost pennies and they're so cute!

I hope to make many more of these bags, Center Street Quilts even has a video tutorial.  Just google it!


Thanks for following me and have a great week!
