Today isn’t quite the last day of 2014, but for whatever reason, it all seems so very ominous to me. December has been a rather quiet month on the blog, so I suppose I feel the need to write something profound or elegant here to wrap things up. Not that I have a clue what...
Its been quiet here lately, but I’ve been busy with my machine. I made several Liberty + faux leather bags and did a little sale on Instagram. While I forgot to take pictures of most of the custom bags prior to sending them to their new homes, I did manage to get some of the...
So I’m totally not the blogger to use Instagram for my blog, but I’m making an exception today since that’s pretty much the only way I’ve been able to take pictures lately. This holiday season is crazy busy! First up, I want to show you the completed stack of Liberty bags I made for Boca...

It’s a material I’ve thought about working with in the past but haven’t taken the plunge. I’d also love to knwo more about your little bit of a quilt along as I’m launching my newest project QuiltAlong.net that is a directory of quilt alongs. Get in touch so I can add you to it! Cheers!
The workmanship on the bags is incredible…so precise and filled with the most thoughtful details!!!

Yay! Your mother-in-law was so excited to gift it to you! I’m so glad you like it. :)
