at Peach Quilting for allowing me to join the Quilting 4 Pleasure blogring and for getting the code on my template!!! So appreciative, Kim! The photo is of a little scrap bag I made yesterday. I had found the pattern (from Oceanlake Designs) at a quilt shop earlier this week and just HAD to make one. Also that adorable tape-measure fabric jumped in my arms too. I wanted to get a quick one done as a prototype--thought they would make great little gifts for my quilt buddies. A couple of years ago my guild made tons of scrap bags to sell at our Boutique at the quilt show and they were cute too. But this new and improved (note the title "Scrap Sack 2") has a little pocket inside as well as a scissors leash and a nifty little scallop trim. The pincushion is weighted with polystyrene pellets so it sits atop the sewing table without sliding. This evening we will be attending the wedding reception of a longtime friend's son and his bride. The weather has gone all November on us so I'll be dragging out the long dress coat--the one that gets worn about once a year LOL!
That is darling. You gave me a little snicker cuz you "had" to make that bag. It's nice to have a cohort in crime - so often I see something I "have" to make, too.

ReplyDeleteThat tape measure fabric is awesome! I must find some :o)
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of the weighted pin cushion holding the bag up...
ReplyDeleteHi Vera, I have to say since I'm right above Rocky, how adorable he looks sleeping on those warm sheets..*VBS* I wouldn't have the heart to move him.
ReplyDeleteYour Scrap Sak looks great! Love the measuring tape fabric!! Hugs, Finn
I love that little bag :) I need one like that ;) Too funny how i jumped into your arms LOL. Welcome to the ring :) xoxo melzie
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love the tape measure fabric. I tried to get some when I was at Hancock's of Paducah last month, but it was all on back order. Better check again. What a cute project!
ReplyDeleteLove your new scrap bag! That tape measure fabric is adorable...of course you had to take it home after it jumped into your arms. LOL
ReplyDeleteHi Kay, thanks for stopping by my blog-the five inch squares are a great idea-I love getting a little of each fabric, you really almost can't go wrong. and I love the scrappy look
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the blog ring. I recently made a great little bag just like that -- but that little sissor pocket - what a good idea!
ReplyDeleteHmm - guess I need to make another.
I have one of the older versions...love using it. That sewing tape fabric is very fun.
ReplyDeleteSio
love that little side bag - it reminds me that I have some measuring tape and button fabric somewhere - my need to lift this cute project from you

For a moment I thought you had sewn a bunch of mearsuring tapes on. Very cute. Love the bag, & love Rocky below. I want to snuggle with him. He looks so sweet.
ReplyDeleteLove the bag! It's super!!
ReplyDeleteI could have sworn that you wrapped actual tape around the bag--what cool fabric!
ReplyDeleteIt's a gorgeous bag and I love the fabric. It'll make a wonderful gift.
ReplyDeleteYour little extra pockets are a good idea. I use my version almost everyday and find it very portable. Mine has a tile covered in batting then fabric for the pin cushion.
ReplyDeleteLove the bag and the measuring tape fabric-I always 'have' to make stuff. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteGreat way to use the tap measure fabric - it looks just great Vera!
ReplyDeleteHow's the storm at sea with the teals coming along?
I saw that tape measure fabric in the quilt store last weekend and thought it was adorable but didnt' know what to do with it - this is such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I'm going to have to look for that pattern - I like it!
What a great idea ! It's cute and practical, no more threads everywhere ! Thank you for visiting my blog and for your comment.
