Button It Up Challenge

 This Project Quilting theme is "Button It Up".  I actually thought of that phrase's younger brother, "Zip It Up".  So I went with a zip bag from a coffee bag.

The fun with this challenge was to be the various ways you can interpret the phrase "Button It Up".  I realized that I didn't want to take the button word literally.  I could only think of one place I would use the phrase as an idiom and that would be in the context of condensing a presentation.  So I went the route of the ZIP.

Thanks for stopping.

Arrows Challenge

 

This week’s Project Quilting theme is “arrows”.  It didn’t take long to figure out what I was going to do.  Last weekend I took my sister and sister-in-law to the Port of Miami.  They went out on an eighties cruise.  My SIL was really into it.  She brought a cheerleading skirt and pompoms as that was her identity in the 1980s.  What I learned was my SIL who travels a lot for work and likes nice makeup brushes, but doesn’t really have a good way to take them in her suitcase.  So, I made her a makeup brush roll.

I had brought my flying geese trim ruler to Florida as I need more practice.  My flying geese are not as wonky as they used to be when I did the sew and flip method, but they still are not perfect.  Once again, I had to play the game of what is in mom’s leftover stash that I can use.  I kept finding things that went together, but the pieces were not large enough.

I'm not the person with the makeup brushes, so I have no idea how long the ties need to be...
