Thank You Blog Hop Party and Giveaway


Welcome to the Blog Hop Party... and Give-Away!
                                                 
go to Quilting Gallery  for the list of blogs in the party

Welcome to Susie's Sunroom.  If you are visiting me for the first time, this is...
Where I sew....in  Susie's Sunroom

 My assistant and design consultant:  Whiskers
Whiskers... she often sits right beside my machine  AND hops on to my chair if I get up!

The Thanksgiving holiday is nearly here, and is a perfect time to reflect upon things that we are thankful for.   Blogging  about my adventures in sewing and quilting for a little over a year now has given me more pleasure than I can even describe .I am especially thankful for all of my readers and  friends I have made in the quilting and blogging community!    And for all of the tutorials and patterns and information  that so many quilters share with us all.  (I learn so much from you all!)

 The  timing of this  THANK YOU  Blog Hop Party With Giveways,  organized by Michele at Quilting Gallery, is perfect! 

Quilting Gallery  has a huge list of blogs  that have giveways when you visit them!!
Click  HERE to go directly to  Quilting Gallery for  the list of all the blogs that are participating in this fun blog hop! ( There are a lot of blogs to visit !!)

Let's check in to see what I have been working on in Susie's Sunroom ...and then I'll tell you about what you will have a chance to win from me in this blog hop.

 Purse:   customized for my sister-in-law

 Pattern:                     ps026  Mini Bow Tucks Tote   by Penny Sturges  
                                         {available at Quilt Illustrations. com}
Mini Bow Tucks bag  @ QuiltsIllustrated.com
My SIL  prefers: 
  •     no ties (no tucks) 
  • 38 inch long handles
  • a magnetic snap closure 
  •  2 outer pockets
  •  specific pocket sizes in those  2 handy, slip pocket rows inside.  

I also tried something different this time, because she wanted the purse to be stiffer . The pattern calls for  Pellon Fusible Fleece 987 on the outer pieces and the lining.   I added a piece of Pellon Peltex 71F to the front and back piece ( cut 1/2  inch smaller  on the sides).Then I ironed on  the FF987  on top of the Peltex.  Both  layers fuse to the back of the fabric and are sewable.  I just left a bigger turning opening in the lining.  It didn't turn out to be any harder to pull it through this larger opening.

Fabric:   Simon + Kabuki   Eandl Design 2011  Quilting Treausures.com
              Iron  Gray  Kona Cotton

The customized mini bow tucks

Inside lining  ,  with the 2 rows of pockets and magnet snap
           

The top view   and  a key fob to match
 

I hope she likes it!  (If she doesn't, I 'll use it!)

Now, time for the giveaway! The Giveaway is now closed.                 


 The Giveaway prize :     Spa  charm pack    by Deb Strain for Moda    and

What a man! Thanks.

    Whiskers is so cute! My kitties dot the same thing...they are always right there with me when I sew and jump into my chair when I get up. The bag you made for your SIL is beautiful. I was wondering if you have tried ByAnnie's Soft and Stable. It is a great product that gives a lot a support to bags. You can get it from her website "byAnnie dot com" (she has some great videos too) or on Superior Threads website. Thank you for sharing and the beautiful fabric giveaway! anglanouette at gmail dot com
