A Finish – Snappy Bags with French Seams
I’ve had a few requests to do a tutorial on how I do French Seams on my scrappy snappy bags. I start by making my panel for the bag. Usually I do a QAYG panel with a normal backing/batting sandwich but recently I was inspired by Gail’s post on her Charm Bag project to useContinue reading “A Finish – Snappy Bags with French Seams”

My list for March was a very moderate one for me. I had some success and finishes, work on some and no progress on others due to the world crisis causing some adjustments having to be made to our lives. DH and I are self isolated because we are in the high risk category. ItContinue reading “March OMG and my Favourite Finish”

Squirrels, Squirrels Running Every Where
Yesterday I started piecing a quilt for a pattern test I’m doing. I had everything cut and ready to spend the day sewing geese. Then a squirrel ran through my head!
