Round Drawstring Pouch
Easy quick little sewing project! Happened upon a tutorial for this round drawstring pouch on a channel called "Tendersmile Handmade". I used one of Anna Graham's (Robert Kaufman) cotton blend fabrics from her collection "Around the Bend" for the lining.
Sweet Little Pouch!
Great size for gift cards!

Fabric Baskets
Just finished these little fabric baskets. The 5
x 5 inch square nicely holds a couple of balls of yarn and a knitting project
that I had begun.
The smaller one, about 3 inch square is handy to hold a few sewing and knitting accessories.
The one basket is sitting atop a coordinated stash of fabrics that I pulled out for my next (hopefully :) komebukuro. The 5 inch square basket is also great for storing a stack of fat quarters!
The baskets are also reversible!

Poppy Art Quilt
Fiber Art ~ Poppies
This is an art quilt I made using my own variation of a pattern by Lenore Crawford that I did years ago. I was undecided about the top stitching so it got rolled up and stored away with some of my fabrics. I discovered it again as I was going through my stockpile of fabrics. It measures 19 x 24 inches and have been considering I might like to do some sashiko stitching on it and perhaps choose a hidden quilt binding to finally finish it off.At least that's the plan for now :)
