Welcome to Finished or Not Friday where you can share your finished {or not} projects!
My first finish to share this week is Summer Solstice. Since I posted about it yesterday, I won't repeat all the details, and you can go read about the quilt HERE. This quilt is for sale in my Etsy shop!
I made this cute grocery bag yesterday as an easy project to relax my brain after working so hard on Summer Solstice. The outside is a decorator fabric, and the inside and handles are a Riley Blake gingham print. The bag took one hour total, including cutting time, and I'm fairly certain I can make it quicker when I make a batch of bags for myself. {I live in Bagless Bellingham, so I carry bags with me everywhere I go.}
The bag is made from a pattern by Michelle's Patterns, an Indie Designer on Craftsy. You can find the pattern HERE. The pattern includes three sizes, and this bag is the medium size. The handles are designed to fit onto the metal bag holders at the grocery store to make filling them easier, and the handles are short enough to not drag the bag on the ground when carried {super important for height-impaired people like me!}
I am giving away this bag to one lucky reader!

I love bags and use them all the time. I have never made a Trip Around The World quilt. I wondered if I could participate using scraps.
ReplyDeleteI would love to participate in the sew along.
ReplyDeleteYour Summer Solstice quilt is so pretty! It just glows. I love the black background with the brights. I take kits apart all the time, and this was really worth it. The TATW quilt looks like it will be spectacular, too. So much great work!
ReplyDeleteYour summer solstice quilt is really something! Was it you who posted that "negative" picture of it with a white background instead of black? That caught my eye, too! Thanks for hosting your link up! Have a fantastic weekend!
ReplyDeleteYour Rainbow Summer Soltice Quilt is gorgeous! I love your version!!
ReplyDeleteI am considering making a scrappy Round the World quilt... would it be ok to use our own fabrics?

Looks beautiful, but I would have to think about participating because I have many other projects going on.
ReplyDeleteMyra,
ReplyDeleteThank you for inviting me to link with "Finished or Not Friday". Your Solstice is beautiful but I am sure it is exhausting. Congratulations on a fabulous finish.
Hugs,
Preeti.
