Birthday Gift for AMC!

I made this tote and pouch for my BFF for her birthday at the beginning of September!  The tote has a zipper pocket on one side and open slip pockets on the other.  Don't quite know how to take a pic of the inside of a bag! 

Found this great tutorial for installing a zippered pocket:  http://u-handbag.typepad.com/uhandblog/2007/02/zippered_inner_.html

ZIPPERS!!!!!!!!!!

Just received my zipperstop order through Amazon!  Got the 54 pic mix (9") for $9.05.  Also picked up three 22" just because.  I used Amazon points so it was a good deal all around!

Made a pouch!

Decided to start a zipper quest ... Inside pockets on totes, pouches and the like.   Today I made a pouch to go with my tote that I showed previously (http://cherylquiltnut.blogspot.com/2015/07/tote-for-me.html).

This is the pouch..

I used this tutorial .. http://www.jedicraftgirl.com/2013/06/my-favorite-zipper-pouch-tutorial.html.

Very easy to follow.

Little Joys Quilt Along ...

All blocks are pieced together and now have to be built.  This is a nice quick fun project.

Christmas in July (or in this case August)!

I decided to do the Fat Quarter Shop's "Little Joys Quilt Along" (http://fatquartershop.blogspot.com/p/little-joys-quilt-along.html).  Think I'm loving the process of following the quilt alongside!  It's all about the small steps.  Here's the first blocks I did.

The following picture is from the site showing the end result we are going for..
