Duffle Bag

  It's been awhile since I've blogged, but I have been busy.  This is my most recent project.  I also made 2 Halloween table runners, and several little treat bags, but I didn't get any pictures of them.  Sorry!
The duffle bag is made from a Simplicity pattern.  Off the top of my head, I think it's  #2274.  Of course right at the moment, I can't remember where I put the pattern to actually go and check.   

Mine definitely didn't turn out perfect, but I'm liking it.  A lot.  The fabric is from Hobby Lobby.  It's been many years since I've sewn something with a zipper.  It went pretty smooth, I must say.  I did measure each pattern piece, and used my rotary cutter.  I will most definitely make one of these again.  I have enough jute webbing to make one more....

What I'm working on now...

Tee shirt quilt, before borders. Rows sewn together... and yes, NOW I see that I have 2 of the same tee shirts next to each other. It's going to have to stay that way!

This will be a quilt for John

I pieced scraps of fabric to dryer sheets, and then sewed them into strips. Each block made with a dryer sheet is seperated by a black strip. The block finished at 5 inches by 9 inches. Sashing is 41/2 inches wide. Now I need to come up with something for the back. I'll have to piece it because all I have for yardage is either pink or yellow!

The pictures I took today turned out a little better than the ones I took yesterday. I still had trouble with the light. This picture has been fine tuned with flickr....It's the best one I have.
