A Quilt and Something for Me!

It took me the longest time to figure out what quilt to make with my Arcadia fabric, but in the end I decided to keep it simple and do my favorite, a simple patchwork quilt. The size is 37″ by 44″, perfect size for a crib.
Remember those hexagons I made while Fernando was gone?
I bedazzled the back by appliqueing some hexagons to add a splash of color. The idea came from Ashley from Film in the Fridge and her gorgeous hexagon pillows.
The Buttercup Bag
I ran into my friend Crystal who made me jealous by sporting a Buttercup Bag, so I decided to make one for myself. Although I will admit that I was VERY nervous about this since it was my first bag attempt EVER! (or maybe I should say my first completed bag. Several attempts have already been started and pushed into the corner of projects to be completed.) I stumbled upon this tutorial several weeks ago and added it to my To Do list. The Tutorial is free, thanks to the fantastic Rae by Made by Rae. The best part is that this bag can be made from a mere fat quarter (plus liner).
Diane, you are so talented!! I love all of your projects. Your material is so cute!
Amazing! Both the quilt and the bag! You r so talented! Were u by chance sporting your bag at church on Sunday? I think you were… And I meant to say something about it and howcute it was!
Will you please open an Etsy shop so I can buy some of your stuff?? Seriously, you are awesome.
I love it! The back of the quilt turned out amazing! I love the random pattern. I’m going to have to try that purse. Sounds fun! I love your sewing Diane!
Diane ,
You are amazing! I love both of your new creations. Who would have guessed our little tomboy would turn out so domestic !
Love,
Mom
You are so talented! Those are so cute.
You are amazing. Everything is so beautiful. Can I order some purses from you? Serious I’ve been looking for a new purse for over a year now and can’t find anything I like.
P.S. We need to figure out when we can get together when you come into town. I can’t wait to see you!
holy cow those are so cute! i’m jealous! I need to start sewing again.
love them!
