I Made a "Pam" Zippy Bag

Happy election day!  I voted, got my flu shot, and made a "Pam" zippy bag.  I also got the tarp out to cover up the picnic table, when little bits of hail or something started falling and big gusts of wind jumped up, as if trying to prevent me from succeeding in my mission.  I managed to resituate the tarp and placed a large rock on top to hold the tarp somewhat in place.  It is now covered for the winter, as the finches continue to visit my thistle feeder and drink at the water pump.  Fall is definitely in full swing!

Meanwhile, after I finished my last project, where I had specific fabrics to use, I had a little bit left over of the wild dots fabric, so I made a zippy pouch for the quilter who shared that fabric with me. 

I hope she did like that wild dot fabric she shared, as she will now have a sweet quilted zipper bag with her name on it.

 

Zippy Bags!

Phyllis invited me over a couple Saturdays ago, to hang out and sew.  I had no easy quilting to bring along, so I brought some stuff to make zipper bags.  I carefully watched the tutorial on You Tube, the night before, and took copious notes.  I managed to remember everything I needed to take except my notes.  Just having gone through the process of writing the instructions down, helped me to remember them.  T had a tip for me, as she has made these bags before.  It helped me be successful and I made seven scrappy zippy bags.  This is a great use for scraps left over from quilting.

Some of the scraps were donated to me by Shannan.
Her cute ducks and bears go with so many other fabrics.

I quilted both sides of every bag. I had fun using green thread
and zipper on the cat bag; fabric given to me by my friend Mary F.
