I’ve been gone a long time. I’m sorry! It is summer and I have been busy with this:
Yes, that is me unpicking the quilting on an entire quilt. Boo. I just couldn’t stand the thread color, though, so out it came.
And, I managed to complete my pretty little pouch, and even on time, too! I went with a little Heather, some Denyse, and then I just raided my itty-bitty scrap basket. Man, I love that basket. I think I would rather have scraps than yardage. you?
Anyway, here is my pretty little pouch:
I need a better picture of it, but I had just fallen in a swamp and my heart wasn’t really in the photo session. Swamp pictures to follow (if they aren’t too embarrassing)
And, PS: I am really back, like for reals, and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on summer breaks and bad bloggers, k?
And PPS: I really like the way binding looks on a spool. Thanks, Amy, for the idea!

I blame Amy for a lot of things! Welcome back, your uch is adorable.
Colleen says
That is supposed to say your pouch is adorable, not your “uch” 🙂

Ummmm, where’s the swamp pic? At least the project and your camera were not damaged! I had an iPod and fell in a hole in Mission Bay, CA…not fun! Your pouch is lovely!
Susan says
I do the same with my binding! Also put it on a spool. Cant wait to see more pictures of this hoop bag! Good job, im sure your partner will love it.
Gill says

Looking forward to the swamp pictures!
Jamie says
That is definitely a pretty little pouch! I love it! I also love my little bitty scraps, too!

I have tons of binding on spools! LOL thanks for the shout out though. You better come to the next meeting or I’ll have to knock your door down!

I wish I could have enjoyed some of that salmon!
Your PLP pouch is adorable. Love it!

LOVE the pouch, and sorry I missed the Salmon supper! YUM!
Great tip on the binding and the spool- I will have to remember that.

That salmon dinner looks delicious.
“Frogging” a whole quilt top…oh I’d be in tears…but you have to do what seems right for the quilt. Maybe next time it will speak a little more clearly about what it wants.
Your little pouch is very pretty. I’m so glad it didn’t get ruined in the swamp.

So, I’m back again….had to say, I love this font. Reminds me of a real type writer….yes, I’m old enough to have learned to type on one. Shhhh, don’t tell.
