the Easy WIP Project Bag

everyone loves these project bags

so I made one to see why.

yesterday's project

Dave helped me put a shelving unit together.

The right side will get 3 more shelves.  They are on order and should arrive on Friday.   Below is how it use to look...don't judge me too hard.  Next job - is to sort through the bins and eliminate some, combine some and maybe get rid of some.

My second row of diamonds...

 I just need to make one more red block

Back to the diamonds

 

Yes, it is back...the diamond quilt.  Being unsure where I left off, I decided to put the rows together.  That way I'll know what colours need more blocks made.

The purple row is complete.  Later I may add onto the length, that will be determined by the remaining background fabric.

To make one diamond square you need 4 - 2 inch finished squares.

This quilt is right up my alley.  I love small, irregular, and I love it scrappy.

My machine is limping along right now.  The wire in my bobbin case has been compromised.  But Pinheads, in Airdrie came to my rescue.  They helped me with a fix that will likely keep me sewing until a replacement part can arrive.

Now that is service.

The Last Pouch in this Fabric

 

I have come to the end of this fabric.  With a few more things to organize, it is either introduce a new fabric or check out if I can find some more.

another pouch

 Here is another pouch to hold the rest of the snaps.  Maybe some day they will all fit into one and then this no-name pouch can hold something else.

self portrait in the making

 This self portrait is a distorted version of the real face.  It has been enlarged in all directions of each square.  Then I removed some of the squares.  Remember it is not finished but you can see where it is going.  The lips and hair need to be stitched yet.

Why am I doing this?  Maybe it is because life right now is a distortion of the norm.  We are still living life but it looks different now, as well as some parts of our lives are missing during covid 19.
