Love to BEEEEE!

Do you belong to a bee?

I sure hope so!

I belong to several and they are such fun!

We share our love of fabric and all things quilty, but also so much more!!  They are my DEAREST friends!  :-)

I have a big bag I made last year that I take to bee when I have a quilt to bind!  It’s quite large with plenty of room to carry most any size quilt.

But I often do not have a quilt to bind at bee, so I needed a much smaller bag to carry my ongoing hand work projects to bee.

So, I made this one last week with some Sewing Box scraps leftover from several previous projects!

It’s the perfect size for my current wool stitchery project and my Sew Together bag with all my thread and such needed for the project!!

So Yogi wants to know all about the bee you are a member of!!  Do tell!!

Fun Sewing!

After the eight solid days of sewing it took to finish the school quilt, I was ready for some fun sewing!!

I’ve seen this cool “Sew Together Bag” all over the internet on tons of blogs, so I bought the pattern at Craftsy and got  busy.

I must admit, the first one , which I was making for a dear friend’s birthday, took me a whole lot longer than I expected.

Thank goodness for the internet!  I Googled it and found a Sew-A-Long on it from last year with lots of great instructional photos!!

I really do love the design and so I used some scraps to make myself one, too!!  I had two pewter charms in my button box- a thimble and a sewing machine, that I used for zipper pulls on the outside!

My friend Linda is using hers for her hexie sewing supplies and I am using mine for my wool stitchery supplies!!

I’m writing this while my husband and I watch the super Bowl.  Neither team is our fav, so just watching it for the commercials and half-time show!

So, which is your favorite commercial from Super Bowl?  So far, mine is the Budweiser Clydesdales and the puppy!!  Yogi likes it, too!
