This was made using Charm Squares from Moda's Modern Roses Collection.

 

You can find the FREE pattern on Craftsy

 

I am going to use it to practice my FMQ techniques.

 

Hugs to all.

Almost Done

The binding is on! This has taken awhile but thanks to a great friend who quilted this, it is almost ready to take a trip to my Grand-daughter Ivy.

This was a really fun pattern to make and while the fabric collection "Glamour, Inc" by Benartex
may be hard to find (I started this last year). but the border on the pattern looks like ribbons - it would be great to use on something else too.

Be sure to stay tuned, I have a couple other projects almost complete to post.

Hugs to all and Happy Sewing

There are several openings still left in the workshop with takes place in
 November (1 - 5). Mary Lou will be teaching a wonderful Christmas workshop
along with her "Out of the Box" Techniques.

As you know I love to Camp - so my bag fabric has Vintage Campers and little Gnomes too. The inside features vintage lawn chairs.
