My former neighbor and valued dear friend Cristina is having her second baby boy. At her request I used the same palette for this quilt as I did for her son Enzo.
See it here. But I made too many bits for the quilt. These bits became the best diaper bag. What a joy to give these to here. Even Enzo noticed that this new quilt bears a resemblance to his! A remarkable boy…
And the other big finish this month is for my great niece Eloise. Like her mom, Elo dances. And she has several shoes she carries. So this bag was made to carry multiple sets of shoes and a water bottle. This is the Aragon bag by Sew Sweetness. One side ahas a curvy pocket. The other side has a zip compartment. The whole bag ones wide with a purse zipper. And the inside feature two elastic pockets and another zip compartment. I could market this as a senior citizen special because it has so many different little places to put things. Elo chose this fabric, and this bag will be for her first double digit birthday in January.
And last but certainly not least is my evening hand quilting project. I love this quilt. I love my stitching.
I’m almost at the end and sad to have this completed. This might be my new dining room wall hanging!
And of course little zip purses using leftover bits. Most of them have been gifted. After all, it is the season!
Finally, a new special project has begun. More about this later!
