Because I'm on a roll with finishing small projects right now, I pulled out a kit for a small tote bag made with a charm pack. There is a drawer full of small kits just waiting for attention, and it's time to do something with them, right?
This was actually from a Sew Sampler box (Fat Quarter Shop) a year or so ago, and had 3 identical charm packs along with a pattern for a small quilt and this bag all using those charm packs. The kit included a printed stabilizer sheet for the bag. For the lining I just dug into the stash, and found a good sized piece leftover from a previous project.
By Sunday afternoon, the bag was all finished. And I put all the leftover charms back into the drawer together to wait to become something, some day. I wasn't a fan of the quilt pattern included in the box, but something will come to mind eventually.
Speaking of kits for small projects - arriving in the mail on Saturday was the Fat Quarter Shop's Cupid Box, that I just couldn't resist buying. This year's project is a mini quilt with love birds. I think this will be a good PIG (Project In Grocery Sack) for February. I'll tell you a little secret too - I still have last year's Cupid Box project waiting.
My other February goals, so far . . .
- Keep up with the Stay At Home Round Robin (SAHRR)
- Keep up with Riley Blake Design challenge blocks
- Make LOTS of RSC blocks in RED
- Small Hearts
- Dutchman's Puzzle
- Night Vision
- Chaser
- Zipper
- Rainbow Connection
- Loose Goose
- Windmill
- Stashbuster
- and other misc blocks LOL
- Bind 1 large quilt (Green Sewcialites)
- Choose backing for 2023 Saturday Sampler & take to quilter
- Assemble 1 Quilt of Valor top
Very fun bag! Getting in some smaller projects between quilt finishes is a good way to feel you accomplished something. Good luck with your February list, you've got a busy month planned.
ReplyDeleteI love the Fat Quarter Shop but I wish they had more challenging projects most to of their kits are to easy I guess - it is always my go to place to find fabric though
