I am obsessed with this Heather Bailey fabric and couldn't resist making a quilt out of some

Super simple design - just strips cut into 14.5" squares.  I quilted it on my new Janome Memory Craft and it made things so super easy.  My husband is 6'2" and holding it above his head in the pictures just to give you an idea of size.  I think it is 54" wide and 78" tall.

Next is some matching pillows!

Thank you all for my wonderful goodies!!!

My son has tons of little plastic toys that I am always falling over.  I usually keep everything in bins but one of his favorite activities is to go to the shelves and turn every bin upside down leaving a huge mess.  Since we are putting out house on the market I was trying to come up with something that would keep little toys together but be easy to put away quickly for showings.

Very simple design, just some clear vinyl and pretty fabric, webbing handle and velcro closure that is easy enough for my 2 year old to open and close.  Super quick to make as well!

Thanks again for a lovely package of goodies!

The image is from Feeling Stitchy's March stitch along.  Love it!!

I am not much of an embroider-er but I really like how this came out.  The pictures are a little more muted than IRL.  The fabric isn't isn't overbearing as it appears, I apparently need to learn to use my camera a little better
