New sewing project and other stitchy updates and a finish!

I really wanted a cute project bag to take on vacation. My mom gave me the main fabric years ago. It was leftover from a pillow blanket she made many years ago. I had the perfect fabric to go with it and off I went.  I made the large bag, a small zipper pouch, thread catcher, project mat and wrist keychain (not pictured).  Tangled progress. This is at  72.16% complete. That's 197,210 stitches down 76,070 stitches to go And I have a finish!  My travel project is complete! My Stained Glass Purple Rose is complete. It has been on several adventures but finally it's done.  This is 27,783 stitches. Started 13 Jun 2025 and finished 13 July 2026.

I Smell Children......

One of the BEST movies of all times, HOCUS POCUS of course. So my current work in progress is going to be a wall hanging. Well, 2 actually. One for me and one for a very good friend who likes Hocus Pocus maybe more than I do. Here's my progress so far. Patterns are from the FandomInStitches.com . I'm just doing the center part for a wall hanging. Maybe I'll do a larger quilt down the road.    I will update when I've got the tops complete. UPDATE: Here is the completed wall hanging. I absolutely LOVE it!!

Bundle of Joy

Babies are always such a blessing.  I made this for my cousin's first baby, due in October. (ok, technically she is my 1st cousin 1x removed, yeah I'm a genealogy nerd too) She LOVES Beauty and the Beast so I just had to incorporate that into the quilt somewhere even though she is having a boy.  I am so thrilled with how this came out and I can't wait to give it to her this weekend!! Most of the patterns came from FandomInStitches.com with the exception of the teddy bear and the pig (aka Charlotte's web).  The bear pattern I made up and will get it posted here at some point when I fix all of the errors in the pattern.  The pig pattern is from Quilting in Amsterday . I just hand stitched a spider and web in the corner. I still need LOTS of practice with free motion quilting but I had so much fun.  Here are some close ups of the blocks. The lighting wasn't great. Hopefully I will get some better pics with the mommy-to-be this weekend. Here are some of the blocks ...
