Fire Glow Firefly Bag


Isn't this a great combination? One of my favorite bag patterns - the Firefly Tote by Noodlehead- made with the latest Fire Glow fabric by Ruby Star Society. Dragons everywhere! 

I made this bag as a gift for my youngest. They picked out the canvas used for the outside of the bag. The pattern and the lining fabric were a surprise to them.

The lining fabric was a bit of a surprise to me too! I ordered it with barely enough time for it to arrive in time to make the bag which was a birthday gift. I had the outside of the bag assemble so it was 'giftable' and much to my delight, the lining arrived the afternoon before the birthday so I had enough time to complete it!


I added a zipper to the bag instead of the drawstring top. This is the 4th time I've made the bag but not my last. I already have canvas in hand to make another for myself.


I used a single layer of fusible fleece on the canvas and then SF101 interfacing for the lining.


Have a wonderful day! Patty

Snoopy and Woodstock


My sweet little neighbor just turned 6 years old and loves all things Snoopy. To celebrate, I made her a bag big enough for library books!

Snoopy is FPP and is a free pattern by Fandom in Stitches. Although slightly tedious, Woodstock was quite fun and I love how he turned out!


There is a fun Snoopy print on the bag of the bag and then this Woodstock print on the front. 

I filled the bag with some other Snoopy themed items and some candy!

Have a wonderful day! Patty

Singularity Round Three


I am a member of Triangle MQG and we are doing our very first guild QAL using the Singularity quilt from the MQG. After 3 rounds, my quilt top is now 48" square. I am just loving my fabric palette and how the design and placement of the darker fabric suggest depth in the quilt.

Watching it grow has been fun - from 12.5" square(round 1) to 24.5" square (round 2). 


There is one more round using 8" finished HST that would bring the quilt to 80" square. Since I don't need a quilt that big, I am not going to do round 4. This quilt will stay as a quilt top for a bit while I think about whether I want it bigger or not. 

Have a wonderful day! Patty
