Totin’ The Beach Around…

I finished the batik beach tote finally, yesterday afternoon!!

I really had fun quilting it with cool beachy motifs! 

Like some sea shells…

Soooo, guess what Yogi did while I was quilting the bag???

First he was quite antisocial…

Then he seemed to show a bit of interest in the project…

  2. Great project, wonderful quilting. My little dachshund is sitting with me now as I try to type his head is on the keyboard. They don't get too far from us, do they? Wouldn't have it any other way.

  3. The quilting on your bag is so cute!

    My 20 lb. cat lays on my ironing board when I'm sewing. I usually have to move his tail to make a little room for pressing. Gotta love our pets!

    My latest projects have been some red, white, blue table runners and trying to make some progress on my UFOs.

  4. I love, love, how you quilted your delightful bag. Excellent. Yogi is a dear. I have a couple fur babies that make sure I stick to my job, a mini schnauzer and a poochon (poodle, bichon mix. I'm working on our guild's president quilt at the moment. You know where everyone turns in a block and you hope for some consistent size. Have a good weekend.

  5. Beautiful beach bag and the quilting is lovely!
    I do enjoy the pictures of Yogi. I have a little sheltie who sits under my sewing table. Our furry friends are so precious.

  6. Your beach bag looks fabulous with all the sea creature motifs quilted on it.
    I am hoping to get the boarders on a Jelly Roll quilt I did at retreat.

  9. I love how you made your beach bag and loved the quilting you did....did you free motion quilt it with a regular sewing machine? I am trying my hand at doing quilting other than stippling with my domestic sewing machine...I would love to be able to make beach designs like yourself...
