a little sewing.

With my upcoming trip to The Sewing Summit, 
I was wanting to have a few bags to tote a long with me.

 

For starters, I made this dirty clothes bag out of a thick cotton pillow case and draw string (also made by me).  I found the tutorial over at In Color Order.  You can find Jeni's tutorial here. 

A bag for my shower shoes.  It can actually be reversible, but I really like it just the way it is.

Here is another draw string bag that will house my hand quilting, for the plane ride.

I really love this one.  The colors are so soft and pretty.  The lining is a very favorite sheet that I have managed to use in a dozen different ways ... and ... I still have left overs!!  The fabric on the outside is from a recent trade mentioned here.

Here is what I will be working on in flight.  The lines are drawn where I want my stitches to go, just needs pinning to the back.  The stitches will be in brown, and thought it would be a fun, little, soft, fall touch.  (do you think I have enough adjectives there?!)

And last but not least ... a covered note book to fill over the weekend, with lots of neat ideas and helpful

hints, so that I may quilt better, blog better, and photograph better.  That is my goal anyhow!  It still needs some embellishments.  Will show you what I decide on.

On a side note : I lit my little candle.  I love the scent (Autumn-Bath & Body Works) and can hardly wait to give one away to you ... as well as this adorable candle holder.  We will be twins.  ha ha ha ... remember that in the 8th grade??
