Arizona Cargo Duffle

Thank you so much for the helpful links you gave me yesterday for my failed paper piecing attempt! I'm sure I will give it another go because I really want some of those feathers!

On a very successful and happy note, I made a Cargo Duffle bag last week! I've had it on my must make NOW list since the pattern came out but I never could settle on the fabrics to use. Well, when I saw Anna's tote bag in the Arizona fabrics I knew that was it! I pre-ordered my fabrics and cut into them the day I got them.

I was slightly intimidated by making a duffle bag but I knew how great Anna's patterns are (plus she gives extra tips on her blog). I just took it step by step and had no problems at all! All in all, it took a bit of time but was a lot easier than I thought it would be.

Our family is going on a road trip soon and I can't wait to use it!

I'm back

I'm so glad I made it past that craft show! I've been taking it easy this week catching up on the housework and getting things listed on Etsy (still working on that actually). The show went pretty well although not as good as last year. It was worth my while for sure and now my Etsy shop will be stocked up.

Last year, my big seller was baby quilts but this year I didn't sell ANY baby quilts! weird. So the big seller this year was Kindle covers. You just never know! that's what makes these shows so nerve-wracking. Anyway, I had a great time and I'm sure I'll do it again next year. :)


I did make one thing this week, a Divided Basket for my sister-in-law's baby shower on Saturday.

I love, love, love how it came out!!!

And I knit up a simple cozy hat for the new little one too.

I'll be back soon to share some more quilts that I didn't have time to post before the show.
