These scraps were screaming to become a sew together bag to me so I set off to "whip one up" -- If you've ever made one you know that it isn't really a quick project -- so I took several pictures along the way to keep me motivated.
Saturday morning hubs and I headed to Salisbury, to get my Featherweights serviced by Featherweight Poppy. I had seen him at several shows and really wanted to get a good service for both my babies before going to Stash Bash in April -- in case I decide not to take the big machine for the retreat. He does great work and got the junk machine that my friend found outside about 6 months ago in full working order.
I also needed more background fabric for my Moda Modern Building Blocks quilt, so we headed on down to Concord Mills and visited We're So Creative. Hubbs was looking around at the shop and found a pack of pinmoors -- a tool I have been wanting to try for a while. (it's pretty cool that he remembered me mentioning them before.)
I will be sure to let you all know how much I like them once I get my next mini put together.
So now that I had treated myself, it was time to get back to making the pouch and I am really happy with the outcome.
I've got 2 more of these to make this month -- doing them in pairs might make things easier actually.
