auction #36 ~ typewriter illustration tote

It is almost physically painful for me to sell this lovely tote.  This was my first project using sewing illustration that I learned from my sweet friend Minki's book.  I love everything about it.  But I need to be perfectly honest with myself, and ruthless with my sewing room organizing.  I know I will never use it.  I can't.  It's too pretty!  But it just feels so wrong to keep it in a box or a cupboard doing nothing.  It really should be used and enjoyed by someone.  I hope that someone is you. xo

auction #35 ~ japanese hexagon flap bag

I thought I would use it.  I used all my absolute favourite silver and taupe japanese prints.  I meant to use it.  But I don't.  Sigh.  Maybe you will use it? :)  (I inserted a piece of kraft-tex in the bottom to keep it from sagging.)

Size:  6.75" wide x 9" tall x 6" deep

auction #34 ~ mrs. march quilt market tote

Lecien commissioned me to design and make this tote for Quilt Market Spring 2016 to promote the latest Mrs. March collection.  I love making things to show off an entire collection.  This was a really fun project for me.  I had two patchwork designs in mind and I couldn't decide which one I liked better, so I used both ... one on the front and one on the back (it's up to you to decide which is which).  Plus I got to use small pieces. ;)  The handles are faux leather.

Size:  11.5" tall x 13" wide x 3" deep

I never blogged about this bag, I only showed it on Instagram.  To bid, leave your amount in a comment on THIS post.  You can bid multiple times.

auction #33 ~ flower sugar zippered pouch set

Well.  In my opinion this is THE perfect gift.  It's pretty, it's in Christmas colours but it's not "Christmas-y", it's useful, it's practical, it's THREE gifts in ONE ... can't get any better than that. :)  I made this as a prototype for my Amy's Pretty Pockets pattern.

Sizes:  Large = 10.25" x 7", medium = 8.5" x 5.5", small = 6.25" x 4"

auction #32 ~ epp iPad mini zippered case II

Here's the second version of the iPad case I designed for Love Patchwork & Quilting that they liked.  I used Lecien's Minny Muu.  So cute.  I love all those little prints.  And the grey solid give it a more modern edge.  The patchwork is all hand-pieced and hand quilted.

auction #31 ~ pink strawberry biscuit pouch

I made this pouch to celebrate Elea's adorable fabric collection and she displayed it in her booth at Quilt Market.  But even though this pink one is particularly hard to give up, I really have too many pouches as it is.

auction #24 ~ triangle drawstring bag

This is another prototype for Love Patchwork & Quilting.  I made this version first because I love the bows print.  But then I realized that there wasn't enough contrast between the two fabrics for a magazine photo (below is the actual magazine pix).  But of course it's MY personal favourite of the three ...  (Please note that this one does NOT have pompoms.)

This auction is for the first bag shown only (not the two in the photo above).

auction #21 ~ tilda hexagon pincushion

Sigh.  I love this little thing.  Everything about her is perfect - tiny pink flowers, a bit of gingham, linen, embroidery, hexagons, small pieces ... AND she's useful!  Why am I selling her?  Because she's not fulfilling her destiny here.  She's just sitting on a shelf.  She needs to be appreciated properly. ;)

auction #18 ~ epp iPad mini zippered pouch

This was a prototype for Love Patchwork & Quilting.  They asked me to do a series of English-paper piecing projects, including this iPad mini case so I made two for them to chose from.  Even though they picked the other one, this one is MY favourite ... ;)  I will be listing the other one soon as well.
