Maggie May Bag

Over the weekend, in between the shop hop customers, this bag pattern (The Maggie May Bag)kept tugging at me from the pattern wall. So, I grabbed some fabric and took it home with me on Saturday. A few days later, and only 2 or 3 hours of sewing time, here is what I have! This was possibly the easiest bag I've ever made, and I'm not saying that lightly. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it went together and how easy to cut out the pieces it was. The pattern utilizes 1.5" strips from a honey bun, and 1 honey bun could make 3 bags. Add a fun button, and you've got a great hand bag!

Do I Have Time to Quilt?

I want to take a few minutes to reassure everyone that, Yes! I am still quilting. My mom is also quilting with me, so rest assured we can and will still quilt your quilts! Not only that, but my quilting prices have remained the same for over 4 years now, and I would like to believe that my quilting skills have improved.

Due to some big changes in my life this year, which I am not ready to get into here, I now hold a full time job outside of my Quilt Shop. I piece at home during the evening, and I quilt on the weekends. My mom quilts some during the week.

So, the short answer to the question everyone has been asking me is "YES."

I am still quilting, I have no plans to quit, and NO! The quilt shop is NOT FOR SALE.

If any of this changes, you'll read it here first.

And.......to address another comical rumor I've heard swirling around: No, I am not pregnant. But hey, I can always use a good laugh, so keep those rumors coming!
