Mini Lightning Zig Zag Quilt

I just got the new iPad and I'm working on learning all the tricks needed to upload a picture.  It isn't helping that I haven't blogged in months and they have updated blogger too.  I am crossing my fingers in hopes that you will be able to see this.  If you blog using your iPad I could really use some help.  This is being posted from my computer. 

Tutorial from Jen of all trades.  First time doing some pebble quilting, it takes a LOT of time and thread but I love the texture it gives the quilt.  Made with Hoffman Bali batiks.  Background is Gardenia (1895) Hoffman Bali Handpaints from Batiks Plus.  This is a great light batik.  I have more quilts in the works with these fabrics.

I see it loads the pictures in order correctly now, nice!

Oh, I'm still spending a lot of time with this little guy too.



Pouches

This is the fabric I picked for my STLMQG pouch swap. I hope my secret swap partner likes it.

*************************************************
Here are a few of my practice pouches.................

I found this on the STLMQG freebie table a few months back. Can you believe someone was giving this fabric away? I love the black & white fabric with the little yellow birds. Does anyone know where I can find some more? This was made using Skip to my Lou's pleated pouch pattern.


This pouch was made using Trillium Designs pattern Audrey Bag. This is just a pattern not a tutorial so you will need some basic pouch making skills for this one but it is really easy. Tip: Since the top of the bag is curved it helps to clip the zipper tape to make the curve. I also reduced the pattern to make it more pouch size.

Another one made with the same pattern. See the group photo for the other side.

This fabric came from the freebie fabric mentioned above. The Snappy Coin Purse was made using this pattern from Sew Timeless.

And a group shot of all the pouches.

Note to secret swap partner (just in case you are stalking my blog). Don't stress over this swap keep it simple. My favorite colors are green & blue but as you can see from above that I also love the black & white print.

New Grandson!

My new Grandson, Blaine Michael - I have been spending too much time (if that is really possible) with this guy to be doing much sewing to share with you.
