phone chair finish

ok for obvious reasons(im using it to take pics) i do not have my phone  in its chair so i put my cordless phone in it so you get the idea it worked for it to maybe i can find it now

if anybody would like to know how i made them please just leave a comment

smart phone chair

so i ran across this tutorial the other day i notice that people at work and some people coming the resteraunt (more update on that later ) are propping their phones up on the wall, mustard bottled their purse the sugar holder anything the can find so this is what i found at seamedsimple.blogspot.com its not something you would want to carry around with you but i got to thinking what could i do to make a little less sewing and reminded me of my pin cushion Eileen that gets into most of my photos if you look at some of my past posts

so i  sat down yesterday with my rotary cutter and ruler and began with photos but i dont know if i can do a tutorial or not i dont want to step on anybodys toes and i have never done one any advice please!

new fast quilt project

so we got an invite to a boys wedding that we have known all his life and wanted to give him something special so i rooted through all my fabric trying to find enough of something not to big i could easily maybe quilt myself and heres what i found a half cut out quilt with still all the fabric together and all i had to do was cut out a few more squares and stitch it up 2to 3 days work now to baste and quilt i have a month it looks like something i would snuggle under
12 in blocks 6x7layout
i have said before im not good with random scrappy and sames touching but i like it i really do i think im going to quilt in geometric squares all over and a pieced back

my hobo is done but  i think it needs a little bling

photos to come

noodlehead basket

i bought a pdf pattern of a divided basket i have seen alot of divided baskets but usually the divider is removible this one is sewn in and i likedit had several fabrics and a outer pocket so this week i tied into itcouple things the pics are not good and after print even worse but i think i got it the divider incertion is a bit confusing so i dont know if i did it the right way or my way either way i think they turned out adorablei sometimes with things like this i cut out 2 just in case i screw it up so ill be keeping one and giving one full of diapers and such away later here they are in proogress 

and the finish

 the lighting really does not do them justice the outer is a really pretty leaf camoprint and the lining a orange leopard he does alot of hunting so i thought this would work i cant wait to make more

 

 that i got a pattern in padukah of a tote with a velcro divider im going to try that later

i also cut out this purse pattern while im off work and plan to finish it

<outer body

<lining and accent corners

 this is stil my work place under water the water has fallen but with all the rain the illinois and mississippi are predicted to rise again

wellthats it for today

catch ya later
