Can You Guess?

Hello everyone!

I took a little trip last week to visit a Statler Sib. I'll give you a few clues and maybe you can guess who it is!

Clue 1: I met her in Overland Park, KS over two years ago at the first SUGAR Conference.

Clue 2: She has a very active blog (always in my sidebar); and is the one who encouraged me to start blogging.

Clue 3: She has lots and lots of bolts of fabric.

Clue 4: These are some favors. But she also loves 30's prints.

Clue 5: Wow, what an array of color of threads she gets to use! She really loves those purples, pinks and lime greens.

 Clue 6: These are some of the half yard bundles that she sells on her on line store.

Did you guess, Jackie from Canton Village Quilt Works?

We had such a great visit last week! It's always fun seeing friends. Make sure you go over and check out Jackie's blog. 

Thank you Jackie for the wonderful visit. I'm looking forward to another and hope that it will be sooner than later. 

Until next time…  
Happy Quilting, Kathy

Lil' Zipper Bag Completed

I told you I needed to make one of these cute Lil' Zipper Bags.

I did make a couple of changes though. When I sewed my 1 1/2" strips, I did a sew and flip technique; that way I did not have to go back and stitch in the ditch. I used a pretty fabric for the inside instead of muslin.





All done sewing the strips on. Then I squared the strip set; and serged the edges.



I added my zipper and did an extra top stitching to hold the edge of the zipper tape away from the teeth - so I don't catch the fabric in the zipper.

Pretty inside as well as out.

And it holds alot....
