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!
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}
My SIL prefers:
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
I hope she likes it! (If she doesn't, I 'll use it!)
