Cosmetic Bags

These have kept me busy for the last week. Easy to make and great stashbusters! I made 20 but put a zipper in wrong side out and so had to keep that one and I fell in love with this one. They are for a guild fundraiser in August and are very addicting to make. Used up scraps from the strip bins by string quilting onto scraps of batting. O and don't forget that large stash of plastic toothed zippers you have been hording for some unknown reason. Really, where did all those zippers come from? Do they breed in the dark?

Her Strut

Do you remember the blue FQ bundle I won at the last guild meeting?

Sometime last summer at one of the guild meetings, a small square of muslin stamped with the guild logo was handed out with the instructions to embellish it and make it into a name badge. The stamp used has been used off and on for many years in the guild and this is the name badge I made about 8 years ago. Obviously, it is nothing fancy. I colored in using Micron Pigma Pens and added a sweet orange rose after my name. I did a pillowcase turn and did not even bother to stitch up the turning hole. There is no pin back I just use a corsage pin.

How in the world did I manage to win third prize with this creation? I think it is because I know how to strut my stuff! *smile*

I digitally erased the name to protect the innocent.
