Quiltcon pincushion

 Yep, it's a small simple project.  No time again this week as I had to work each day before I left for Quiltcon!! I figured I would sit and stitch something cute while here. Well, I found a make and take class to use!!! 

Wonderfil is amazing and offers up some free classes every year at Quiltcon. One of them this year was by Carolina Moore, a quilt notion developer. She taught this class on Pin cushions.

I added these cute little hourglass hand stitches to the ends. The Wonderfil elaganza thread stitches amazing!!! We also received some prototype needles. They let you stitch with ease. I then added these cut anywhere tabs to the edge. They cut your thread and are perfect for name badges or pin cushions!!  

More on Quiltcon later!!

The "B" bag

 

The "B" bag by Orange Dot Quilts is a pattern I recently bought and this challenge was perfect to try it out.  The inside or the outside can be used as it's reversible! 

I Used some very old Art Gallery fabric from my stash! Only had 2 pieces of the line, so the inside and the outside fabric are the same! I love the medallions! 

The pattern is the basic shape of the bag with binding around the outside and inside the handles. The 2 pieces are sewn together to create the bag! I used a layer of batting and stabilizer in this one.  My next one I will try foam. This is a little too flimsy for me.
