WIP Wednesday...progress in many directions...

I have a FINISH to share...yay!  (And hopefully many more in the next few weeks.)
This is my finished Pockets-to-go tote that DC Modern worked on as a guild project last Saturday.  I don't have a free arm on my machine, so I bound the top by hand with visible stitches.

 So much easier (and no wanting to hurl my machine against a wall :)

I also got all the pieces together on my Hooterville quilt.  See more pictures here.

It needs a border, then I can begin a much anticipated quilting process (this quilt was one of the first I EVER started, but I didn't move forward because the notion of quilting it scared me.  Not scared anymore thanks to Leah Day's Quilt along and lots of practice on the charity quilt.  Not to mention the great support I've been getting from the lovely people that read and support me on this blog.)

My new start for the week was an impulse buy on MLK day.  I need a new purse and cannot find one...but I love this Barbados bag.  I have the front panel put together.


So many GREAT pockets!

That's my current list for now, but lots of things are waiting for my new-found initiative to work on them too!

Happy quilting!  And make sure to check out other great projects at WIP Wednesday!

    That pockets to go tote is one of the cutest things I have EVER seen. I love how you mixed the patterns and colors.

      Thank you! I had a fabulous fabric store in Franklin, TN at my disposal when I went searching for fabric. I want to take it to work but I'm so in love with it that I'm worried it will get stained in my classroom.
