From Purses to Pillows!!

My labels arrived this morning!! I have to say I am so pleased with how they turned out! I got them from this lovely lady here. So now I have the busy task ahead of me getting them all sewn in and then listing them in my new shop! Hopefully I should have some listed before the end of the week!



Here are some cute pencil cases I made over the weekend, in bewteen projects. Isn't the cat fabric just so sweet. The black Japanese fabric I am in love with and working on a design for a handbag at the moment. So will update you with the progress of that once I know what I'm doing.


As the title suggests, I have not just been working on purses! Remember the sneak peek I showed on Sunday? Well here is the finished project!


I love these pink fabrics, especially the flower one. I used a simple log cabin block and then quilted round in squares. It was great fun making, and the quilting part was surprisingly relaxing. It was just nice to sit and sew, and not have fiddle with zippers or iron's! : )


I also mentioned another project, but was unable to upload any pics of the progress. Here is the finished piece!



This is the project that kept me up all hours, I just couldn't put it down! All the circles where appliqued on, and then I quilted round each square using contrasting thread for each block,sorry the picture is not perfect. More styles like this one in the pipeline!


Both covers have an envelope back and will be available to buy in my shop!
OK, well I best be getting on with those labels! Feel free to leave any comments/critiques on any of the above, I appreciate any feedback.
