1 Hour bag

This bag is only suppose to take an hour to complete. I spent a bunch of time quilting it. Every time I make a project I learn something and find ways to do it easier for the next time. I think I will try a stiffer interfacing. Next time the handles will go on the ends (where they should be.) It isn't a purse but a bag to store items that would otherwise clutter your living space.

Cosmetic bag

 This is a cosmetic bag I made for my daughter. I had not put in a zipper in 40 years. My Mom and I watched a youtube video to make this bag. Between the 2 of us, we only took out the zipper 3 times before we get it correct. I watched a  different video by "Crafty Gemini" who has an awesome youtube channel and putting the zipper in with a lining finally made sense. I enjoyed working on the bag, learned a lot and my Mom and I had a lot of fun laughing at our mistakes.

Rag Quilt


I always enjoy making rag quilts. This one has a thick polyester batting. I used 2 different types of "wolf"  fabric. It is the light blue and green fabric.
