Snowy Day Projects

I had the bigger bag cut out since December, waiting for the "right" time to put it together.  So, with all the snow, I thought it would best to be sewing instead of baking!
 
That is the 5th big bag I have made.  I couldn't decide which colors as I did like the black, white, and red bags I have made, and the cowboy fabric too.  But I really like the limely green color and it is pretty popular now in the quilt stores.  A friend made herself a smaller version of the big bag and made a purse.  I just cut my blocks down and used less blocks and came up with my own smaller version.  My friend Sandy in Lewistown gave me a pattern for the small coin purse with three little compartments, so naturally I had to make one of them too!! One of our big girls wants a big bag, so I will cut it out one of these first days...  She has picked her material.  I have quite a few projects in various stages of "doing!"  My Shop-Hop quilt for this year needs to be finished, the big blocks are done, I need to cut some more fabric and make some small bear paws and put it together.  It is faster to type what I need to do that doing it!  Ha!

 
This is a project that I "almost" had completed.  I had the binding sewn down and decided that I wanted to do a little bit more quilting so I had put it aside.  I took it out this month and got it finished so it will be ready for next Christmas.
