Quilts for Boys

My Mom, Betty, and I often work on quilts together. These two where done by both of us. My mom did the patchwork and I did the machine quilting. I wanted to give my sister in laws two boys a quilt each. I had given them a baby quilt each but no new ones for years. You can see they are way to big now for baby quilts. They needed small man size at least. 

This quilt I had an Oiler fabric (Edmonton's Hockey team) on part of the backing so we did make it more orange and blue. Both boys love hockey and their dad is a hockey nut. Some winter's dad has build a ring in their back yard. 

Both quilts were done in time for the birthdays they had in Aug 2020. I am behind showing of stuff from last year when I hardly wrote on my blog. 

Dog friends - I have not gone to the herding breed yet, the cattle dog is their dog. 

 

Mini Iron Bags

 

Here is a set of bags I have made. I love this colour works line of fabric by Northcott fabrics. I have a far bit of it and a few others to go with it. 

Well this past fall I found a pattern for a mini bag patter, the bag on the left.

I found this pattern at Lillyella mini maker case sew-along/ A Facebook friend had made one and I found the link with her help. 

Here is the iron in the case. In the photo I still have to sew down the inner lining by hand.  

On it's own.

I could not stop and picked out fabric for a second bag. This time my sea themed Batik fabrics. 

My finished bag! 

The inside with the lining sewn down. 

I added a new feature on this bag. I zipper tab on both end of the zipper. II could not open the zipper well and this helps. 

I have one more to finish. I better get it done too.
