August’s Quilt in a Day Tomorrow! (Friday Foto Fun #191)
It’s that time of the month again! Tomorrow I’ll be streaming the eighth 2021 Quilt in a Day with Simply Secondary! This quilt is layer cake AND fat quarter friendly. I plan on using fat quarters for this quilt rather than a layer cake. Don’t worry about precutting or prepping anything as I’ll be doing all of that in real-time on stream! Be sure to...
Meraki Backpack Part 1 (Friday Foto Fun #190)
Happy Friday!!! We made it to the end of the week. This week just seemed particularly long for me and I can’t wait to have some relaxing time this weekend to finish the Meraki Backpack. I made the exterior of the bag on stream last weekend and it turned out SO CUTE!
Finally Finished! (Friday Foto Fun #189)
I have a mountain of unfinished quilt projects in all sorts of different states. However, it’s very rare that I start making a bag and then just stop or pause. The bag projects typically are done one at a time. Several months ago, I started making an Amara tote with some beautiful canvas fabric but put it down when I needed to cut foam for...

Aurifil Artisan Challenge: 40wt Thread (Friday Foto Fun #187)
This month’s Aurifil Artisan Challenge is to make a project with 40wt thread. The 40wt thread is slightly thicker than the normal 50wt thread that I use for quilting and it’s quickly becoming one of my favorite threads to sew bags. I picked some faux leather vinyl and quilting cotton for the lining to make a Luz Marina from Oro Rosa Patterns.

Getting the Perfect Topstitch (Friday Foto Fun #184)
I have been bag making now for about a year and a half and the perfect topstitch has been elusive. I always somehow mess it up. Because my Juki has a flat bed I’ve typically had to topstitch from the inside of the bag versus the outside of the bag. I don’t have a cantilevered end to tuck the bag under the machine to stitch...
