That silly lil' Doe!

I actually did something this weekend!

Spending all that time doing nothing made me feel a tad bit guilty. So, I whipped up a little something just to say I was somewhat productive this past weekend.

I bought 2 Cath Kidston Paper Flowers tea towels, a pink polka dot fabric for the liner from The Calico Horse quilt shop, and pink leather handles from Superbuzzy. Voila!

Oooops! That's the inside of the bag. Let's try that again. VOILA!!!

Nothing fancy really, just a simple tote. I think I need a tote for each day of the week. What do you think?

A quilt in progress, few bags, and cool finds

I was productive this past weekend. I started working on the Roman Holiday (MODA) quilt for the store. Remember, I talked about it here.

There was a lot of cutting. I mean A LOT!! I even started an assembly line hoping to finish the quilt. No such luck! After finishing all the star blocks, I got bored. Instead of working on the alternating blocks, I started doing something else.

I had enough fabric leftover from  the tote (photo on lower right) I made a few years ago to make this cute little purse!! Fully lined with a pocket.

Last Thursday afternoon, I went to the local antique mall and found these!

Four pastel eggcups, a shabby chic-style fabric and a vintage embroidered linen table runner. The table runner had holes in the middle and a few stains. But the embroidery was in perfect condition. I decided to make a tote out of it using a Cath Kidston fabric. Matching embroidered panels on both sides. It is fully lined with pockets. I even machine embroidered my own "tag" right above the pockets. What do you think?
