clutch bag and Fool around Fun Quilt

I Finished my little clutch bag. It is a fun bag to make and has lots of potential in creating a little different. I used gold thread and quilted it before I put it together. Also made the flap a little shorter and cut it with a special ruler I had. Several of us made them and each one unique. Fool Around Fun Quilt - design by Susan Fuquay
You never know what I will do with a quilt. It started out as a quilt that one of the gals showed us that she whipped up in an evening. Our group decided we liked it and many of us have done something different trying to use fabrics from our stash.

I used Moda charm packs Peace on Earth and Rite of Springs. It was to be 56 x 56 but mine is 70 x 70. I added extra borders and have free motion quilted and bound it using a leaf design on a good portion of it. I just need to put a sleeve and a tag on the back.

The Maine Quilt show is July 24-26 and nine of us will submit them as a group showing.

It is another finish for me and I am determined to get my tops done this year that are sitting. I have another one already on my quilter and hopefully will get it done within this next week. Hooray!!! There are always so many other projects I want to start....patience!!!
