Well after being ill with an invading virus of some sort for a week and a half, I was able to start quilting and doing some projects again. I decided to start small and finally make an Abbey Bag! Plus, it gave me something to do with my extra Tula Pink Neptune fabric! Here, she is, the first Abbey Bag (I am sure of many)...
And a top view...
The construction went fairly well, although I did change things up a bit on some of the directions. I didn't feel as confident using fabric glue for some of the connections so I went ahead and stitched it together, but still used glue in some places and was pleasantly surprised by how well the glue did! Now I have somewhere to put all my trimmings and threads from all the yos I am still making. The progress bar is getting higher and I managed to do quite a few while I was bed-ridden. Here is a little example of some yo accomplishments and humor while I was sick...
That's right! I made 22 in one morning/afternoon. It's amazing what you can get done when you don't have to go to work. Someday, I will have a studio/shop/private practice where I can quilt in between clients, hold workshops and quilt all weekend. Ah, the dream.
