100 Modern Quilt Blocks

I have been bitten by the follow along bug and am working hard on the Modern Blocks by Tula Pink.  They are quite fun and addictive.

Wanna see how far I am...


Did I mention that there are a few blocks from the Splendid Sampler QAL?


I like the book and how the blocks are illustrated.  Easy to work with.

Zippered Pouch for Pens

I made my darling DIL this bag for her artist's colouring pens.  She picked the fabric...


Then I reorganized the zipper by which I mean, I cut off the stops so the slider came off then I pulled apart the two sides (with teeth).  I discarded one of the sides and made the remaining side into a loop and put the slider back on.  I love how the zipper finishes when its like this.

Missouri Star Quilt Co Hunter Star Block

I have been working on this Missouri Star Quilt Co pattern called Hunter Star pretty much all summer.  It seemed scary because there were lots of bias edges but it worked stunningly well.



A bit bright but I was using up my stash :)
