Stuck on Baby Bionic Gear Bag

                                   

 

I decided to try the Baby Bionic Bag.

I love my full size one.

                      

 

I used scraps to make the outside. This is one of my favorite fabrics.

But I am stuck right at this point.

The sides are done the same as the Bionic Gear Bag and if I do the zipper as the directions say everything will fall out the sides.

So I am trying to decide if it needs a short zipper or higher sides.

Has anyone made this yet that has a solution?

 



                        

 

It is the cutest bag I just don't want things to fall out.

 



Turkey Visitors

                                       

 

The turkeys just love getting on my bedroom porch....

I think they like to look at themselves in the window....hahahaha



                                       

 

And climbing on the rails is their favorite.

They like climbing on everything, tables, cars, trucks, planters, large rocks and even Kelly's saw horses.

                                          

 

They aren't the prettiest birds but they are very curious.

                                            

 

They like to be in on everything that goes on here.

                                           

 

This gray one just loves my daughter. Every time it comes around her you see

more puffing up than ever.

                                           

 

No puffing up for me.

Dang

Favorite

                                         

 

This is my favorite machine!

I do have 2 black ones and they all sew the same,

but there is something about sewing on a machine that is such a fun color!

And nothing sews a straight line like this machine!



 

Fun at the Fair

                                                  

We had so much fun at the fair.

This quilt won a blue ribbon, best of class and Peoples choice!

The pattern is called Comforts of Home by Bee in My Bonnet.

                                         

This one won a blue ribbon! 

This is one of Lori Holt's patterns called Remember Grandma' Apron.

                             

This was one of my favorites to make. And it won't a blue ribbon too!

This was from one of Jenny Doan's tutorials on YouTube under Missouri Quilt Company.

                                                 

This is anyone one from Jenny' tutorials. And it got a blue ribbon too!

                                                 

Another Bee in my Bonnet pattern from Lori's calendar, and a blue ribbon winner too!

                                             

But I do have to say the fun on of the fair was my grandson Jackson winning a blue ribbon for the cookies he made all by himself! He was so excited.

Making A Vintage Pincushion

 

I just love Pincushions and making them from vintage pieces is one of my favorite things to do. My Daughter found several of these Milk glass candy dishes and brought them to me. I love how they can hold scissors and stitch pickers. So I decided they need to become pincushions.

 

I just sewed a few hexies together and stuffed it with walnut shells, lavender and batting.

And no pincushion is complete without a bit of bling.

Now I am thinking I maybe will give this one to a friend.

but which one....

 

 

 

These a few of my other pieces I just love!

The girl planter is perfect for pencils, rulers, scissors etc!

 



Finally Finished!

 

 

This has been my favorite quilt!

I did the appliqué and my husband did the stitching!

 

It is now ready to quilt!

I love working with my husband on any project but this one has been my favorite!
