itty bitty
I finished my Itty Bitty Bag this weekend, gaining a bit more confidence using the BSR on the Aurora. Click on the photo to see my first-ever "official" free motion quilting! I even purchased a pair of quilting gloves to "gear-up" properly. Hardly necessary for quilting on a 9" x 12" piece of fabric, but never the less, I was prepared!
Karen West is a local celebrity (or to me at least!), teaching at one of my favorite fabric shops, so I'm glad I finally gave one of her patterns a try. But I do think I made the pattern much harder than necessary (can anyone say "adult ADD"?). I had the hardest time keeping up. The pattern really wasn't very difficult, but it did require that you take it one step at a time. I guess my focus was a bit off this weekend. All of the little details make for a quite "professional" looking bag though!
yeah for the bsr!
it looks great!

I love this. I saw a HOUSE that was painted like this on the outside. The whole house. It was just awesome!
