I had a busy sewing weekend - yaaaay! My DH was a way, so I got to sew uninterrupted by having to cook and converse - don't you just love those weekends? Miss you honey, but boy was I busy! Good times!
The bindings all ready to go, and since I'm going to machine it completely, my aim is it will be done on Wednesday. Can't get to it sooner as I have meetings this week - my Little Group meets tomorrow night - I think we've got ourselves a new challenge, but I missed the last meeting so I'll find out tomorrow, and I've got a quilt show committee meeting for the Blue Mountain Quilters Guild. The show is October 2012, but we're just getting started with the planning.
After seeing all those cute little zipper pouches around blogland, I decided I had to try - here are my attempts, using this tutorial.

| Silk pouch |

| Line pouch |
and after making these two, I decided to make a bigger one with the thought of taking my knitting back and forth to work, I played around and came up with a different design.

| Linen Knitting bag |
And then today I really wanted to do something different so I decided to try the 3 Creative Studios Technique of the Month, thread sketching,the tutorial compliments of Monika of My Sweet Prairie

I also got started on my Vancouver Modern Quilt Guild Habitat Challenge, but can't show you that yet!
It was such a fun weekend! I hope your's was productive, too!
Happy quilting!

You sure were busy! Great little purses and thread sketch!
Great eye!
My but you have an "eye" for thread sketching!! Sorry couldn't help the pun! I do love your little bags. Gonna have to check out the tutorial you got the pattern from.
Ha ha cooking and conversing really cut in to quilting time. Hooray for quilty weekends and wow what a lovely bit of stitching!
The wedding quilt is so stunning, Janet. I love that you quilted the details right in. Your eyeball is impressive, as are those lovely pouches!
I love how you quilted the label information right on the quilt!
Your pouches are so cute! Thanks for the tute link. I've made a few pouches and am always looking for new pouch ideas.
well done on those pouches - they look fab! And thanks for linking to my tute.
And wow - that eye is amazing - super great job!
Wow, look at you go! I love that wedding quilt. That was such a good idea to quilt it right in there! And the eye is great! Thanks for doing it and posting it in flickr. The winners are chosen randomly, and the prizes are pretty cool!
