My First Tammy Bags

Oh, where exactly does the time fly?

I have been helping my kiddos finish up

their semester work, helping them study and

squeezing a few hours in of sewing.

I have a few special little girlies who I

did get a couple presents completed for.

It is my very first Tammy Bag. 

Isn't it so cute? 

I just love this Riley Blake material. 

So appropriate for a little girl.

I also finished up another

If you can guess what the recipient of this loves?

Hard to figure out, right?

My niece picked out the material a

couple months back and I was waiting to

work up one of these adorable bags up with it.
I used Aurifil 12 wt. to sew the frame onto
the purse.  It worked like a charm.
Plus the colors that I had used for
my hexagon quilt matched beautiful.

I plan to add a couple lip glosses

and maybe a finger nail polish to each of them.

A great little gift for any age girl.

I know that I will have to make myself

one to put my make-up in.

The pattern was super easy and only took a little

more than a couple hours to whip up. 

The hand sewing took the longest.

(I, of course, cheated a bit

and only hand sewed the purse frame)

They were well worth the time.

Only 18 days left!!!
Back to the Workshop.

Let's Boogie

So glad that you stopped by on this the last day of the Black Tie Boogie!! 

 Thanks to the fabulous Vickie

from More Stars in Comanche 

and the Queen of the Coop Madame Samm of Sew We Quilt

for another great hop! 

 I hope you didn't have your fill of turkey and chickens for Thanksgiving!

How about a little bit more of both?

I found the pattern for the rooster Here.  I made

them pincushions as opposed to the egg

cozies.  They are great

size to set next to my chair

while I do a little hand sewing.

I also decided to crochet a few

place mats for Thanksgiving.  

They were a great addition to our table setting.
You can find the pattern for the turkey Here.
Thanks for stopping by and go
check out these other coop
creations.

The Final Day of For the Boys Hop!! & Giveaway

 I have had nothing but fun during this hop

and being your head cheerleader. 

When, I heard that I was going to

cheer this hop, I got busy

right away.

 My boys all love to cook.  So, I decided

that they needed some

nice towels to have for

their kitchen when they get older.

I finished all seven of them.

  I used Aunt Martha's iron on

transfers. 

Then, I decided, I just couldn't stop there. 

 I needed to quilt something up.



I had difficulty just finding the material

that fit the design I had in my head.  

Even the white material

at the quilt shop had bows and flowers in it.
Yuck!!!

All types of little boy and gobs of girl material,

but a very small selection that screamed

 boy teen / tween.

But after an hour of searching,

my son and I had picked
out the material for his

quilt.

 It is another one of my larger quilts that

I have finished.  Measuring

around 80"x 90".  

My son calls it

The Highway to You Know Where Quilt!!

(His exact words)

I guess it depends on which

way the arrow is pointing.
 Hahaha!

I used some straight line quilting with Aurifil

variegated grey #4670.  It blended so well

into the dirty grey looking background.

Well, that is all I finished here, so

Go check out the rest of these

super talented ladies and if you missed the other days
