A Sneaky Peaky of a current project...a quilted handbag that is roomy enough for many of the items needed for travel. I made a pattern for myself and am thinking of releasing this pattern since it is soo useful. I made it deeper than usual to hold more items.</div>

I thought I was all done, even made a couple of extras but when I had it all laid out in my kids' room my daughter informed me that she would like this quilt. So I'm thinking ahead and trying to make it a twin, which now I come to find out is HUGE! 72"x98" is what I'm shooting for which apparently is still cutting it a little short.<br />

It's funny. I assumed I was a modern type quilter but I'm beginning to find out that although I ADORE so many cool designs in the modern quilt world such as <a href="http://www.behance.net/gallery/Geometric-Serigraphs/4289757" target="_blank">this</a> (isn'tthat just to die for??) and <a href="http://www.thequiltingedge.com/2012/05/bloggers-quilt-festival.html" target="_blank">this</a> I am liking the shabby look a little more these days. With that in mind I was drawn towards cute little vintagey calicos more than my modernish fabrics. BUT I'm not one to reside in a small genre and pride myself in being able to transcend boundaries so you may see my next quilt an ultra modern solid print quilt. I go through phases.<br />

Evertime I move after cleaning out a room to its bare minimun I ALWAYS ask myself why I don't do this while I'm living there. It feels so good to get in there and clean up any stagnant energy. Freshen it up and liven it up if you will. So I made a note to my future self to do this;)</div>

That is what this quilt has become in my family. Made with no batting*, pieced with love, this quilt was made awhile ago and never properly introduced. * <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">Earlier I wrote that this quilt had no batting but was rereading an <a href="http://sewlovins.blogspot.com/2010/08/goings-ons.html" target="_blank">original post</a> and realized it does actually have a thin layer of batting. Whoops.</span><br />

Anyhoo...Linking up to the <a href="http://www.canoeridgecreations.com/2012/04/festival-of-half-square-triangles-linky.html" target="_blank">Half Square Triangle Quilt Fest</a> over at Canoe Ridge Creations, well because I slaved n slaved over all these HSTs and anyone who has done a HST quilt this size, and trims all their squares down, can feel my pain. Heck I know any quilter can ;)<br />

It was a difficult decision to go with a cool binding instead of warm. But the flannel backing is in the pink family so it needed to be cooled down.</div>

With sick kiddos this week I have hardly been able to look at my machine but I did manage to sneak some sessions in to make the hubster a birthday pillow. "You've never made me anything." he said awhile back. Hmmm I guess if you don't count the lap quilts and pillows we curl up with when we watch movies or the huge quilt on our bed. Anyways any excuse to get quilting!</div>

It's comfy and fun to have around. I am in love with the retro looking yellow flower print..I forget what line its from. And the sleeping princess under hanging flowers in the center makes me smile. It is hard to see but those are little mini-Courthouse Steps blocks flagging the center.<br />

I do alot of handwork such as binding quilts and pillows, handquilting quilts and needleturn applique on a long term Hawaiian quilt I am working on. With kids in the house it was starting to get tricky leaving my little sewing station on random places around the house so I thought I would whip up a little needle book for my handsewing notions. I found <a href="http://lotsofpinkhere.blogspot.com/2011/10/12-gifts-of-christmas-blog-hop.html" target="_blank">this adorable tutorial</a> from <a href="http://lotsofpinkhere.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">lots of pink here</a>.<br />

My goal for 2012 is a quilt a month. Its a somewhat loose goal, like I won't stress too hard about it but am using it to keep productive. So far I've gotten up around 3 am and 6 am on a few days *uh I mean nights* to work on this next beauty.<br />

I have loved this quilt idea from afar for too long and wanted to whip out a quilt, if that is even possible for me. It went from an idea to quilting so fast...about 3 weeks! ;) I am shooting to do a quilt a month and haven't even started February's yet. Here is the <a href="http://incolororder.blogspot.com/p/warm-cool-quilt-along.html">tute</a> from one of my fave blogs, <a href="http://incolororder.blogspot.com/">In Color Order</a>.</div>

See it? I LOVE it. I'd recommend if you are using it ( and actually anytime you quilt a quilt) to roll or fold the ends in and pin so the batting doesn't shed everywhere; it really helps on the fuzz factor.</div>

It took alot of stamina to make a bag like this; tracing and cutting the pattern pieces out of the fabrics, inner & outer, interfacing and fusible fleece let alone ironing all the interfacings and sewing! Not to mention installing the zippers, in and out, pockets and magnetic snaps! It also took awhile to gather all of the notions. I couldn't find the metal adjustable strap piece so I had to hit the thrift stores and find it on an old purse. </div>

So its a pouch. Like I said I just had a baby so I needed something quicker than a quilt to satisfy my sewing needs.<br />

Welcome friends and quilt festival browsers to the post! Thanks for stopping by. Please leave a comment..I'd love to hear from you!<br />
<br />
Here is my quilt for the festival...It is titled "Joy Ride" and was lovingly made for my father for his 60th birthday. I fell in love with this Riley Blake fabric and had to buy a bunch from the collection for this quilt. I used <a href="http://aquiltisnice.blogspot.com/2008/09/zig-zag-quilt-kit-tutorial.html">this tutorial</a> from a quilt is nice for the pattern.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Quilting was quite a challenge...I like to press myself. It was my first free motion quilt and yes I chose a king size quilt. I only did one thin layer of batting though so it is more like a coverlet than a heavy, warm quilt. I rolled it into a log before trying the squish and smash in my tiny 6 inch or so sewing machine space. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This finished picture isn't the greatest but hopefully you can tell that I used many different fabric lines in it and that the quilting is accomplished! Now the challenge has been not to catch the quilt top in the binding process since it is so thin of a quilt.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
