sewing 4 me xoxo

decided to cut into my coveted echino by etsuko furuya...i actually won some of this fabric here 

i found " kathy's sewing tote" pattern  @ aunt mary'squilt shop awhile ago...and now i am soo happy to have a finished bag that i really like and will actually use xoxxo

also tried out this very cool applique technique that jo ann blade inspired ....it definitely helps to have a long arm but it is still doable wo ....i used the panto blooming feathers by anne bright but you could transfer any design onto a double layer of top fabric

and trim the outline of the pattern on the  top layer very carefully...

i chose a green binding to finish this sweet little project up...and i love it soooo much i am dreaming about queensize now xoxoxo

    happy weekend to all   ~ pam ~
