I did teach and make one of the bucket bags from Pink Penquin. You can find the pattern here...
I finished piecing the top of TicTacMo. I had all the blocks made and the side triangles cut so I only had to sew the rows and then sew the rows together. This is for #2 grandson for Christmas. I will drop it off at the quilters on Wednesday.
This is an applique/needlework bag. It has two pockets inside and one outside. This pattern is by Pat Sloan and I have made (and use) 4 of these bags. I keep a different project in each bag. I love them. There is velcro along the inside so the whole thing opens up. I can keep scissors, thread, hoop, project on the inside and my cell phone, keys and money in that outside pocket if I am going to stitching.. The pattern also comes with a stichery and applique that you can do for the outside. I get more compliments on this bag and everyone at retreat loved it.
And finally I got half way through a mystery quilt. Of course I can't show you a picture cause it's a MYSTERY..DUH!!
I had two projects that I didn't get finished, but that's ok cause I have another retreat in November...tee hee...
Today is Tuesday, but I have to pretend it is Monday which is errand day. Then need to unpack that sewing stuff...
Happy Sewing,
Nancy

I love the tic tac mo quilt! It amazes me how setting something on point makes it look so different, and usually prettier. Also love the project bag you made. I can see where one of those would be so handy! Will be watching for the mystery quilt finish....Take care...Lilly
Retreats are just the best...and when you finish such lovely projects its even better...
I like your bag very much Nancy. In fact, I remember you making a post about this bag pattern once before and I was inspired to send off to Pat Sloan for the pattern.
The pattern arrived super fast but I have yet to make it. Perhaps I'll be inspired a second time :)
I love your retreat project also.
