Happy Thanksgiving!
This week marks the send date for my FLiRTs Swap on Flickr.
This go round I really wanted to make something fab, and I was hoping to get a bag that I have been eyeballing FOREVER.
I made a Quilted Clock for my partner.I am happy with how it turned out, and thankfully my parter commented about it so I know she is going to love it!
I designed the pattern in my EQ7 and pulled some great fabrics out of my stash. The clockwork I picked up from the local craft shop. Getting the clock hands to fit and still turn without brushing against the fabric was a bit of a challenge. I ended up building the back up layer by layer until it was the right thickness, then enclosing it in a little pouch made from the backing scraps, and hand sewing it to the back of the clock. I am thinking about posting a tutorial or the pattern if there is enough interest.
I received my item in the mail just before the long weekend. I was so super stoked and happy I giggled like a maniac and my good old hubster though I had lost my mind.
My Partner made me this Gorgeous, Wonderful, SUPER AWESOME 241 BAG!
I love this bag!!
It has some of my favorite collections in it- Flea Market Fancy, Madrona Road….
I love that she used the cream text print from Madrona Road for the sides.
Happy Stitching!

Watch out, if you bring that rainbow bag to the next VMQG meeting, it may just go missing!

Just found this and am wondering, is there a tutorial? I would love to make one!!
Hi Dawn! The pattern is the 2-4-1 bag from Noodlehead. My partner pieced together the squares and then cut the pattern pieces out from it. I have made this bag as well and it’s super fun!
I just stumbled across your site and just think the clock is adorable. Did you ever do a tutorial?
