The ramblings of my quilt shop adventure…

Tiny Treat Bags

I saw the adorable Tiny Treat Bags in the new BHG Quilts and More fall 2010 issue and I had to make them. Two fat quarters makes 4 bags with enough left over to make fabric handles.

So I made one set and took them to the shop to display. Then I started talking to Julie & Melanie and we decided they would be even cuter with ric rack and pompoms. So now I'm making 8 more with a variety of trims. How fun!




I think these two fabrics will be fun together!









And these little prints from Riley Blake are too cute! I added a strip of mini pompoms to this one.

This is Stretch. To help set the Halloween mood, he knew a black cat was needed in the picture. Why do cats always want to be right in the middle of things? Why not lay beside the instructions instead of on them?




And, now you all know my secret - I do most of my sewing in the kitchen. That's Thomas, my youngest, making breakfast in the background.

Here are my finished bags! Notice there are only eight? One is at the shop, and I still have three more to put together. But I'm out of time today - I have to get the tuffets made for pin cushion club on Wednesday.
