Aeroplane Bag for FAL 2014 #Q2

Here is my other finish from April, it is an Aeroplane Bag by Sew Sweetness.

This last photo is the inside. I love the size of it; and it will work well on the airplane when next I go somewhere! When I make it again, I will put a couple of pockets on the outside too. Probably one zippered and one slip pocket.

My Cargo Bag

This was one of my FAL 2014 #Q2 finishes early in April, it was a free tutorial from Anna Graham of Noodlehead. It was also pretty easy to make. . .

 The inside is a fabric from Ikea, and it is very easy to find things in there with the light fabric!

I used it went I went on an overnight with some quilting friends! I got a few things done on my FAL 2014 #Q2 list, but not as much as I wanted.

Fourth Quilt FAL 2014 #Q2

Here is my fourth finish for the FAL. It was intended to be a quilt for a baby boy, but I wound up adding more to it, and giving it to a neighbor who had a strok and is recovering from it. This is the front. . .

 And the back. . .

Third (3rd) Quilt Finish FAL 2014 #Q2

Here is the second quilt I had to have done by May 27th for my grandson's preschool teacher. . .This is called my Positively Quilt and since the teacher loves purple and blues, I wound up doing it in batiks. This quilt was easy to pick out the colors compared to the pastel cat one I did. Here is the front. . .

 Here is the back. . .

Second (2nd) FAL 2014 #Q2

This #Catventquiltalong quilt I had to finish by May 27th for my grandson's preschool teacher. It was a lot of fun to make and even though my points on the cat's faces were not as good as I'd like them, I would still make this one again.  The teacher's information stated she likes pastel colors and loves cats, so when I saw this pattern put out in December 2013 by Elizabeth Hartman of Oh, Fransson! I knew it would be perfect for her. My trouble was finding the pastels, since I am not a pastel person. I love the bright and vivid colors. After making this I was happy to see it in the pastels, and would use them again. It was interesting to work with fabric not of my choosing. Catvent Quilt front. . .

 Catvent Quilt back. I used some of the pastels, bordered by white, and some pastel butterfly fabric from my stash from one of the Western Washington Quilt Shop Hop that I had on hand. The quilt wasn't quite big enough with 100 cat faces, so I added the border and I think it added a nice touch.

First FAL #Q2 Finish Posted

I have trouble making the time to write in the blog. I don't like to do it on my tablet, I would rather use a keyboard on the laptop, but I so seldom sit at the laptop. Must. Do. Better!

Scrappy 5" x 7" Low Volume Rectangle quiltI finished my Scrappy 5" x 7" Low Volume Rectangle quilt. I love the way it looks, very soft and drapes well because there is not too much quilting in it. This is the front.

 And this is the back, used up a lot of leftover fabric!

I put a label on the bottom, but I don't have any one that it is intended for yet. Thanks for looking!
