Umbrella Prints Trimmings

I ordered away for my trimmings pack.  I just love the navy elephants.

Notice the hearts and elephants

I was inspired by the big orange heart.  It seemed to me it wanted to be a whole heart but could not quite make it.  I designed two pillowcases to complete the hearts with each other with the words u complete me. I just love the orange and blue.  I used some linen from my stash and did a reverse applique around the heart and then cut it out.  I think the bright blue really sets it off.

On the bed where they will be used.  One for me and one for the hubby.

 Then I used the blue elephants to make a small zip purse to help contain all the "stuff" in my purse.  I really love how the yellow sets them off.  I am so happy to have an elephant in my purse.

 Wish I was a better photographer. Anyway, that's what I made with my trimmings pack.

Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day

Its giveaway day

I never really thought I would participate.  However, I really enjoy visiting all the sewing and quilting blogs.  So much great information is shared for free.  So many great giveaways.

Here is my mine.

 A little purse made with some Liberty of London scraps and Laura Gunn's painters canvas.  It measures approximately 6" x 6"

I used some fun stitching with heavy thread.  Who knows maybe there will be a little Liberty of London inside?

To enter just leave me a comment telling me if you would rather vacation in the mountains or at the beach. My choice is Glacier National Park with both mountains and lakes.
 I will leave the contest open until 8pm EST on Friday May 10th.  I will pick a random winner on Saturday.

The giveaway is closed.  Thanks to everyone that entered.  I will tally up the beach/mountains to see which one is more popular.

First Communion Coin purse

I put together a quick coin purse for a friend making her first communion.  I had some fabric from a line called Cherie by clothworks.  I fussy cut some of the images.  I used another fabric from this line on the inside.  I followed this and this tutorial.
