There were a LOT of projects on my To Do list for this week, and I've actually made some great progress on meeting those goals. It feels like I've made a dent in the Works In Progress hanging around my sewing room.
The light in my kitchen is terrible when it's overcast and grey outside, but . . . I can report that the Valentine door hanger is ready to quilt. That big dotted print is the backing, which is leftover from a Christmas project. It has most pink and red so it will work for this one. Because there were not many small pieces I knew this one wouldn't take nearly as long as the snowman did, and I was right. Plus it's only 20 x 36.
The first 5 of the little coin purse bags are completely finished. They are so cute with the swiveling lobster clip on the end so they can be attached to something. And they are fully lined as well, with a layer of light weight interfacing so they have some substance.
The other 3 have the zippers sewn in and are ready for the next steps. I actually did all 8 zippers at once so I didn't have to mess with changing between the zipper foot and the regular foot on my machine. Each of these take less than 15 minutes to make.
Oh - and notice that little pile of white strips in the back? Those are border strips for the Woven Heart project, which I hope to attach today. Then I'll decide if I really want to add a pink border or leave it as is.
One other project for today is to make this week's block for the Riley Blake challenge. It's all cut out and ready to sew. I fussy cut that bunny for the center and I think it will make this block very cute. I'm so glad I am using my Tula Pink stash of fat quarters.
