Endless Possibilities

Angela Pingel designed this to be a Travel Laundry Bag – and it is perfect for that. Throw it in your suitcase, hang it on the back of the door and throw it in your suitcase at the end of the trip!

But then I saw the picture with the assortment of bags hanging from hooks….Wouldn’t this be adorable in my sewing room? Organize the fabric and pattern for individual projects in each bag. The mesh makes it easy to view what is inside.

Or wouldn’t these be great for organizing soccer gear, gymnastics stuff, etc.? Graduation is right around the corner. These would be great gifts done in school colors with the student’s name appliquéd or embroidered on each (because they are going to need more than one)! Throw in some color catchers, soap, and fabric softener sheets and you have a great gift!

The patterns are due to arrive the end of this month so place your orders now!

For the Book Nerd in Your Life

There are several pics of “book” quilts showing up on Facebook.  And when I say books – take that literally!  For that book lover in your life, why not make them a throw to cuddle under while they read?

This quilt is a simple paper-pieced pattern so everyone will be successful.  Make a nice sized throw or add “books” to create a bed-sized quilt.  Wouldn’t this be great in Tim Holtz fabric?  It is designed to be fat quarter friendly.

I love this quilt because it gives you the perfect opportunity to personalize it.  Write the titles of their favorite books on the binding. Or, write a favorite quote on the cover.  What a great gift for a favorite teacher.  Change up the fabrics to make a perfect masculine version!
