bumbling along...


I really don't need another bag/purse/sewing bag... But this fabric just seemed to me, that it MUST become something... Right now it's holding a small mini quilt that will be finished on the airplane Saturday as we head back to the cabin on Nest lake...

I can't wait to be snuggled into our little nook in MN.
I'll get to visit with a few blog-world friends!

So if I am a little M.I.A., that's why...
I might be able to get online access at the library... we'll see.

I know most of you think I make quilts....
But really I seem to only make DOG BEDS!

***

Hmmmm, I think I need more of this red fabric....
this may need to be a quilt, and not just a block....
don'tcha think?
you betcha!
(just trying out my Old MN accent there)



I have three projects in Limbo right now, awaiting fabric to finish them off...
Geez, maybe I should start another...??


Can you tell I am bumbling along right now?
There are so many other things I should be doing...
Cutting fabric for the gather, weeding the garden, laundry, dishes, etc etc...

What's got you tied up right now?
sewing?
dishes?
a good book?

Have a great day!

The bag is beautiful. I would have to make something quilt out of that too. So you're coming to MN Lake country. It's beautiful here!! I hope you enjoy your stay!
What's got me tied up - trying to get some physical therapy my doctor ordered paid by insurance - YUCK! Back to sewing!

Luv the bag. It is the perfect size. It looks like you have gone Kaffe crazy. I love his fabric. Lots of fun stuff to sew!

Ha! Once again on the same wavelength. I just made a bag for myself this weekend - and I rarely get inspired to do that! Your design wall is looking good. Enjoy your cabin time.

Love your bag & that gorgeous red/pink/turquoise block! Wow! Wow! Wow!
I hand sewn a patchwork scarf suitable for these summer nights & windy days by the dunes. Right now, we are on Sylt, a German island off the coast of Denmark.

You're right! That fabric works for a bag. So that's how to feature that bunch of flowers! :)

Have fun at the lake! I'm headingout myself for a family wedding. So I'm all tied up doing a week's worth of work (home and abroad) in 3 days. Yikes! :)

That fabric was MEANT for that bag! its gorgeous. LOL about making dog beds.......they always find the most comfy spot.
I am wading through blog posts....then I might do some sewing, or cleaning, or watch a movie....oh the choices! (but only because its school holidays here!)

You are so creative. You just amaze me. In love with the "must have more red" block. I hope this is the start of another great project.

What a fun post! OH, believe me, I think that all of our darling four-leggeds think that any fabric put on the ground is for them! Whenever I spread out fabric my little guy is right there... digging a bed and getting comfortable!

You make beautiful art!!!

I'm loving that red fabric with the flying geese strip. Beautiful. The question is, What doesn't have me tied up right now? I heard someone say, "if it's not one thing it's another, so let's just do it" I liked that.

Jean said...

The bag is gorgeous and the puppy looks very comfy. My cats always have to try out the new quilts too....sometimes while I am still working on them.

I get in those moods too where I am not sure what I want to do, but want to do something. I am working on a "have to make" right now.

Fantastic use of fabric for your new bag! Love it.
