July is here and nearly gone already. I can hardly believe it. July is always a very busy month for me--trying to squeeze in camping, sewing, etc into one month! I was able to work on a few things between travels....and I went to the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show, like I do every year. It is just too good to miss!
I made this bag as a gift for a friend who loves horses! It is an Atkinson pattern--Lollipop bags....I think I purchased the pattern last year in Bend and just recently have delved into actually making the bags!!
Speaking of bags...I went nuts and made a Sew Together Bag....it was a two day project--I used the sew along pictures at QuiltBarn to help me along with the zippers (4!!!) and I survived. I didn't even utter a curse word! (that, right there....amazing!!) It was a challenge at times, as I had never sewn in a zipper, but I did it and I love the results!!
And I had to continue to work on my blocks from my Lori Holt Quilt along...I am way behind, but enjoying working on it when I can!!
Here is a street-shot from the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show....it was early and there were lots of people already out and about. It was 93 degrees that day...too hot for me, but I had a wonderful time meandering amongst the 1,401 quilts on display.
Off to go sew something....hope you have a great day!!!

Hello Michelle, it is great to meet you and I want to thank you for visiting my blog. I was looking for a place to follow your blog, but you do not have a follow button. When you decide to put one on your sidebar let me know, I would love to be one of your first followers. I would also love it if you would return and follow mine :) I have met so many wonderfully creativity folks through blogging. You are definitely one of them. I love your bag with the zippers and can tell that it was not an easy project. Great job! I love the town of Sister's and have been there many times when my daughter lived in Bend, but never during the quilt show. I've heard that it is among the best ever :)
ReplyDeleteI'm happy that I could inspire you with my mudroom curtains . . . have fun making yours.
Hope to hear from you again.
Connie :)
Hi Michelle!
ReplyDeleteThe bags are amazing. A very good job on all of those zippers!
The Quilt Show looks to be a great place to visit. I hope you are enjoying the last bits of Summer.
Hugs,
Susie
