Popping in to share the wide open zip pouch I made for my Glamp Stitchalot partner. I used Noodlehead's free tutorial and made the medium size pouch.
Leftover flying geese parts in favorite prints and low volume background paired with essex linen make up the top, and I cut into my Carolyn Friedlander Carkai prints for the bottom and the lining.
I will do just about anything to avoid using interfacing, so I quilted the outside panels of the bag before assembling to give it some substance.
I also made my partner a thread catcher using Crazy Mom Quilts pattern and opted for the quilted version. I love the notebook paper fabric that I recently found at my LQS in the bargain bin.
Both items were stuffed with lots of goodies, and my partner seemed happy which makes me happy! Each time I participate in a swap, I say it will be my last ;-))
Linking up with Crazy Mom Quilts. I'll pop back in later with all the fun details on Glamp. Until then, have a fantastic weekend!
I know your partner was thrilled! Love the personal touch of adding her name on the thread catcher! Can't wait to hear all about the retreat!
ReplyDeleteFun swap gifts! I bet your partner was quite excited to receive these treasures!
ReplyDeleteYou're a good swap partner, René! This is a thoughtful gift, especially with her name on it. I am thinking of you often, hoping you are managing your grief about Max. My heart aches for you. Blessings.
