In September they want to learn how to foundation paper piece, so I worked on a little Halloween sample for them. I think it turned out pretty cute. However, when I showed Mr. Quilts4julie the first block, he thought it was a lighthouse.
Then, I moved on to bags. I have seen some 'snap' bags, ordered some patterns, and thought I should give them a try. This cutie is Snap Happy II. The thing that makes them a Snap bag is the closure. You use a metal tape measure, and they snap closed! Mr. Quilts4julie was very helpful with this project. He cut 2 of his tape measures for me. This bag called for a 1" tape.
and, this one used a 3/4" tape measure. He was very careful and used a drumel tool to round the edges. Now that he has cut up two tape measures, he is going to cut the rest of the tapes, and round them off, so I can have them in the shop. So, you don't have to cut up your husbands tape measures! Nice guy, huh?
I love my sewing weekends! J
