Swap Finishes and BQF

Late last week I finished up and mailed for both Super Swaps (send right on the deadline, eack!) and Mug Rug Revival (sent well in advance of the deadline). I also have two quilts entered into the Blogger's Quilt Festival. I have links at the end of this post.

I completely forgot to take pictures of the mug rug before it went into the envelope, but I can assure you that it looked identical to this, only with hidden stitches holding the binding in place instead of clips.

Then we come to the tote for Super Swaps. I made a modified 241 bag. Modified because I really haven't mastered this pattern yet. The one attempt I tried for myself ended in disaster and was never finished. So I simplified it down a bit, and managed to come up with something I was quite proud of. :)

Here is a shot of the lining.

And here you can see one of the modifications I made: Using nylon webbing instead of fabric for the straps.

Now on to the Blogger's Quilt Festival! Astronomical Twilight is entered into the Modern Quilt category. You can vote here.

Then Baby Eleora's quilt is entered into the Small Quilt Category. Voting can be found here.

Of course I would love votes for my quilts, but mostly I just want people to see all the amazing inspiring quilts over there! Vote for someone, even if it isn't me!

  1. Lovely creations! I love the bag. I have yet to attempt bags. I'm a bit nervous of diving into unknown territory. I think one of these days I just might have to, though. Beautiful work!
