TGIFF - HST Baby Quilt

Welcome to Thank Goodness It's Finished Friday (TGIFF).  TGIFF is the opportunity to share your finish from this week.  You can find out who is hosting each week by heading over to the TGIFF blog.

This week's finish is a long overdue UFO.  I started a temperature quilt in 2020, but life happened, and I didn't get any further than June 30.  I was tidying up my sewing room and finally decided that I was not going to finish this project and put in the garbage can.  Luckily, I immediately had an idea to turn it into a baby quilt. 


I quilted diagonal lines in a light yellow thread.


I found a piece of minky in my stash that was just the right size.  That rarely happens.  I forgot how much I love the softness of minky on the back of a quilt.


I used Kona Poppy for the binding.  The quilt has already been gifted and is being loved.

TGIFF - Drawstring Bags

Welcome to Thank Goodness It's Finished Friday (TGIFF).  TGIFF is the opportunity to share your finish from this week.  You can find out who is hosting each week by heading over to the TGIFF blog.

Things have been hectic at work, so my sewing time has been limited.  I did manage to few a few drawstring bags.  The pattern is by Kandou Patterns.  I purchased a kit while at Sewtopia Milwaukee earlier this year.  This is the medium size with leather strap.


I was creative with my cutting, so I could make the small size as well.  I just needed to add a Kona solid from my stash to make the inside pockets on both bags.


This is the small size, with the strap made from fabric.  I prefer the fabric strap as the leather one is a bit stiff.


A different Kona solid for these inside pockets.


The pattern was easy to follow, and the bags sewed up quickly.
