Moira: Finishes

Did finish the publication project, but can't show the front of it so here's a pic of the back.  =)  The backing was another piece of the fabric from Hoffman, and was cut in a continuous piece on the length of grain.   I had told them just enough on what I needed to have it work.   Project was mailed off yesterday and should be delivered tomorrow....good timing 'cause it was due there on 3/06.

Also mailed off my art quilt challenge yesterday so that is out of my hair as well.

 And I finally finished off this cross-body purse.  Fabrics used are assorted silk scraps for the body, a linen/rayon blend for the strap and binding, and a cotton for the bag lining and pocket.  This one will be for sale once i have time to list it on etsy.













Front of the bag.  Button was one of the many that I bought on clearance for pennies on the dollar last year at Joann's.

 A total of 3 inner compartments in this one thanks to the little pocket I added to it. 












Next up - Finish making the last two potholders that were commissioned by one person.  I need to make myself a purse because the one I'd been using fell apart and I can't find what I like in the stores.  I've also got 4 pillow covers coming up, and need to figure out what i'm going to wear to a daytime wedding the end of March.......oh, and figure out where I'm going to move to by the end of July..........lol.  And there are a couple of special projects coming up for the blog......just a little going on these days.

And I need to redesign a block for the new BOM that I was doing for this year because I had someone contact me accusing me of having infringed on her pattern.   Not something I had done because I had never even heard of her site or work.   But because the patterns are similar, I can't release my lion block.  =(  And may have to rethink some of the animals I'd intended to use for mine.  =P  Or else come up with a new idea totally for a BOM this year.
