Towne Purse- Up-sized for WIP's be gone

This week I have had many unfinished projects going.
Two wallet orders that are in waiting for fabric to arrive are just a couple of them.
But I did get something that has been in the works for years completed.
I have had this fabric quilted for over six years with this Lazy Girl Design , Towne Purse in mind.


But I have recently learned how to put in an internal zippered pocket. So I added two of them. One on each side behind other pockets.
I also made it about two inches larger all the way around, so I could carry my bible and or iPad, and of course a bottle of water.
With ten pockets and three zippers, I feel good about carrying it.
I also finished another wallet for inventory for my etsy shop.
I will be going to San Diego with a group of friends next week and just maybe, they will think my bag is as pretty as all their Vera Bradley totes.
What do you think?
I am linking to Angie's for WIP's be-gone.

Wip's be done again

Well I was able to get another special order finished
and a have it ready to send to my friend.

I wish I could do more, but time just does not permit it.
Just wanted to add to Angie's blog.
She has so many wonderful people sharing their eye candy.



Hope you have time to finish your things to do. What might they be?

Wips After a Long Week

Well last weekend My daughter got married,

chiilin on his slider
so I took care of the little one while they went away.


I finally got back in my sewing room.

I was able to make this.

The work was me waiting for this great celebration of being united as one. Thank the Lord, Amen.

WIP- Recycled

I know this is not fabric but it is for my sewing room and I have to share.
I took this old entertainment center I have been storing for my daughter for ten years, thinking, someday.
Last week became 'Someday' and I turned it into a storage for machines and what nots.
Still have to move things around to make Great use of it.
But it is now mine and in my favorite color- Green.
It will be very handy.
That is some of my WIP's this week, but check out  Angie at quiltingreadersgarden. She has been busy.

WIP-4 / Road to California Quilt Festival 2015

wips
Okay, I went and I had a really good time. Perused the aisle at my pace and visited many quilting friends through out the day.
I did purchase fabrics for up coming WIPs that I will turn into wallets for sale in my shop.
WIP by tent maker from Cairo
Watched the tent maker speedily work his magic at appliqué and boy was he fast and good. Raw cuts as he went and flying hands with the thread and needle. 'WOW', was really all I could say.






Beautiful quilts and lots of shopping and memories made, again.
I love the show.

Thanks to Angie, for allowing me to link to her WIPs over at http://quiltingreadersgarden.
How are your plans going for your project?


You know your a Quilter when….
there is more fabric in your house than food.
you learn to quilt and forget how to cook.
you stay up way past your bedtime to sew 'One more set'.
you think your chores are an interruption to your quilting.
you have more projects planned than ten lifetimes.
you clean your sewing room and everyone thinks your leaving.
your idea of heaven is quilting with friends.

I come very close to being a true quilter.

WIP-3

minke and dots
I know this is a challenge for me, to keep the WIP's going as well as sharing them as they progress. Thanks to Angie over at http://quiltingreadersgarden.blogspot.com, I am reminded and inspired to keep at this. Only time will tell how well I do. And time is an issue.

Juggling the family responsibilities and the out of home job as well as my Etsy shop, I find very little time to blog. But I am going to do my best to share with you what I am working on.

WIP

I have been very busy with making wallets for my shop. No complaints. 
I feel like everyday, that I finish with one, I have finished a new quilt.
We quilters cut fabric up, sew it back together, quilt it and bind it right? 
Well, that is what I do with the wallets I make.
I make lil usable travel, fit in your purse, stuff all your precious articles size quilts, sort of.






Hope your work in progress is making you sing.
I love this kind of therapy.
