Sewing Makes Me Happy

So many fun things going on over here! Not only do I get to participate in The Acreage Collection blog Tour this summer (official project post on September 5) but my fabric from designer Shannon Orr for Moda arrived  on the same day my custom wall hanging from KCwooddesigns (https://www.etsy.com/shop/KCwooddesigns )Match made in heaven! Can't wait to get all this set up in my sewing room! 

Fat Quarter Shop's Simple Zipper Bag

This Simple Zipper Bag from Fat Quarter Shop featuring Sherri McConnell from www.aquiltinglife.com is the perfect quick weekend project. It probably would only take an hour to complete start to finish if you don't have a 9 month old on your hip or sitting on your lap while trying to sew! Wade was a good sport and let me get this large zipper bag finished using a Mini Charm Pack from Moda Gooseberry, mini pearl bracelets in red and a fat quarter I had for the lining. This quick project gave me a chance to work on ironing my patchwork correctly and my machine quilting techniques.
