April Quilting Accomplishments

April wasn't nearly as productive of a quilting month for me, but I did have to work the whole month, so I can understand why. I did get about the same amount of hours in, due to a couple weekends of lots of sewing time.
During the virtual quilting retreat I had while my blogging friends were at retreat, I quilted and bound this quilty tablerunner of my mom's.

I made this potholder sample for Groovy Girls.

And another potholder for Groovy Girls.

While I was sewing at Groovy Girls, I put together this Frolic top I'm going to quilt for a baby quilt for my cousin's baby due in Aug.


I made this pillowcase for my brother Jim's birthday.

I also made him this one.

I made these two pillowcases for Paul's birthday.

I made this Quilt As You Go tablerunner VI for a sample for the store.

My favorite and quickest project of the month was these baby shoes. My mom had them cut out, so I finished them, but I'll definately be making more!

I made Paul this Stitchin Chix bag and he loves it! He actually used it this weekend.

I made a Stitchin' Chix for Aunt Jane's birthday.

I also made this Quilts of Valor sample for the store. It took a long time to make all those stars and get the borders cut right.

I also finished the binding on the boots quilt of mom's. So my goals were almost all complete. I only made 4 pillowcases instead of 8, but the other 4 are cut out. I feel like I accomplished a lot!
My goals for May include:
Nightgown
Carseat cover
Boppy Pillow Cover
Cowboy Boots
One of Mom's UFO's

Aunt Jane's Stitchin Chix Bag

Saturday night I made my Aunt Jane a Stitchin Chix bag out of some fabric of my mom's. It has knitting needles and yarn on it. The inside has some pink scissor fabric.

I figured out that I can make one of these bags at right at 2 hours from start to finish, including cutting out the fabric. I just love how it turned out and I hope she'll get lots of use out of it.

Stitchin Chix Bag

Last night mom and I got together with the girls from work and made Stitchin Chix Bags. They turned out awesome and went together so fast. They are going to be the bag for Bag Ladies next month. They went together so fast and really were quite easy to make. I finished mine in about 2 hours. Here's my finished bag.

I used a fun decorative stitch and King Tut thread for the handles.

This is my original fabric which is super cute. I picked it up at the shop in Chamberlain last weekend on our shop hop.

I found a print for the lining in a shop in Luverne MN.
