bags and more sewing and future mystery quilt or BOM?

I’ve actually been busy, but I just can’t show the pictures!! bummer….

But I can show you THIS!

I mad a tie string bag for my daughter in Hello Kitty fabrics

she has her quilt in it.

The pattern is from Jeni Baker In color order

I also finished step #5 of Easy Street

I love making this mystery quilt, I SO want to do my own mystery or BOM kind of thing, what do you think? If I did a mystery quilt next year, would you join? or rather a BOM?? let me know

I forgot to show these goodies in my last post.

This is from hinterberg/nolting for recommending my setup to someone who ended up buying a Voyager17 and summit frame, but since I’m not a “dealer” I got “stuff” instead of $, a pig tail bobbin case (which looks just like mine, so maybe I had one all along) more bobbins and a funky template for ruler work.

I also got this order from quilt taffy.

perle cotton for redwork or similar projects- now I just need a light table!! he he

and Nancy drew charm pack, I have a “plan” for the Nancy Drew hop in March

Of course these days I’ve played with the kids, here Sonja is looking at her stacking cup tower.

I got them from amazon from a “green” company, so no nasty plastic stuff BPA free etc.

Here she’s in her froggy chair and reading a book 🙂
