Hi everyone,
Craftsy just shared some more photos from my Elegant Embroidered Bags class and I thought I would share since some of these items make great Christmas presents.  (The embroidery motifs are included in the class.)

Some of the projects in the class. Clockwise from top left: Embroidered Medallion on a pre-made backpack, a custom-sewn canvas tote with coordinating fabric panel, a pre-made canvas tote, a zippered clutch with three embroidery motifs, and a pre-made embroidered backpack.

The first step of learning to double-hoop on the custom-made canvas tote.

Embroidering a regular backpack.

Embroidering really quick, fun, and professional luggage tags. One of the class members is making one for each member of her family for stocking stuffers!!!

Have a happy pre-holiday weekend!

My day – actually “days”- were made this week when I received two emails to beautiful Holiday Bouquet projects.  It is so gratifying as a designer to see people take your fabric and make something beautiful and personal!

The first quilt is from Jodi Nelson of A Pleasant Home.  I love how clean and fresh this baby-sized quilt looks!

It is just so pretty!  Best of all, Jodi has a tutorial for the block she used on her blog so be sure to check it out!

Next, Linda Hoover emailed me a picture of a Holiday Forest quilt from my book, Modern Holiday, sewn in my Holiday Bouquet fabric line.  Now I have to make one of these for myself!

Thanks so much for sharing, both of you!

I love seeing what everyone makes – it is so fun!

Happy sewing!
Amanda
