Embroidery Flower Quilt Finished

I have been away for quite some time.  My computer crashed and I'm learning how to use the new one.  DH continues to have medical issues and family visited from CA.  Lots happening but I was able to finish this little quilted table runner/wall hanging in time for my sister's birthday.  The instructions were for a table runner but she thinks she may hang it in her newly decorated craft room. 



 In addition to the little quilt, I made her the tote shown above.  It is the Amy Butler Swing Bag and the fabric is Michael Miller.  I decided to use the fancy monogram letter for the bag.  She will use it to carry papers to meetings.  We had a fun lunch on Saturday and I gave her her presents.

Grids and Grommets Tote



I worked this weekend during the horrible Diamondback games making this Grids and Grommets Tote. The entire exterior is quilted using a fusible quilting grid. This was my first time to use grommets and it's scary cutting holes in something that you have worked hours to complete but it worked out. They really were quite easy but probably would be easier on a thinner fabric. This tote has two layers of fusible fleece which make it bulky.
The fabric for exterior and lining are by Michael Miller. The tote is large and roomy. It may become a retirement gift for a friend. Not sure yet. Pattern is from Indygo Junction.
