Fresh Starts of February!

So, a new month is a time of fresh starts and to do lists.  Here is what I accomplished this month. 


1. Modern Dresden 2. In Your Words 3. CAL Cowl 4. Rainbow Afghan 5. Pink Pineapple Purse
I finished my first modern quilting project. I can't wait to try it in different colors.
But I decided to save my favorite for last.....


My crochet and sewing experiment.  A Fusion of my two favorite crafts!  I gave the Pink Pineapple Purse to a friend and I made this beauty for myself. I love the outside, but check out the inside.



I had a yard of the fabric sitting around and my daughter suggested that I use it for my purse.  I honestly didn't know how else I was going to use the fabric, so it worked out perfect inside.  I made an interior pocket and the outside is zipper secured too.


Okay, so now this is my favorite accessory. 


So, what is on my to do list for February...
Thearica of Pigtales and Quilts is having a little linky party of monthly finishes, and I thought I would join on in



(I think that is way more than enough)
Busy, Busy, Busy!

    You're a lady of all crafts: I love the red purse!
    And I love the modern Dresden; I'm working on a stripy Dresden at the moment.
    And sorry, but I drooled all over the inside of the white purse: ahhhhh

    Amy, your list does sound like a lot - but I think you'll enjoy the projects. Good luck with them. By the way, your purse is"to die for" with that cute fabric on the inside - really cute.
