Yesterday I spent the day sewing with my friend, Brenda and her mom, Pat. The project I took was a paper piecing project from the book Spellbinding Quilts by Maaike Bakker. This books of full of wizards, witches and other really cool characters. I HIGHLY recommend this book for the paper piece lover who may want to do a one of a kind quilt for any child. Especially those Harry Potter fans.
But, alas, I was unable to finish. Brenda and her mom were struggling with a project they had started in November. Pat was making six, yes I said SIX, bags for her friends from a pattern called the Sonoma Swing Bag. This is a Pink Sand Beach Designs pattern #108. This is an adorable bag. I have made several of them, but not SIX AT A TIME!!! My review of this pattern is that the directions are not very clear, especially when putting in the zipper and lining. However, if you make this bag, plan on making one as a prototype, mark down what you did, and then make a second that looks really, really great!! To make a long story short, five are now finished. One more to go, but not by me. I think Brenda will need a new seam ripper as her was used so much it is now renegotiating its labor contract.
As for me today, I am off to finish at least one dragon!!! Stay tuned . . .
