Project Quilting 11.2

I changed my mind as to what team colors I was going to use.  My first thought had been green and white for Michigan State Spartans (Go Green and White!), but once I knew what I wanted to make, I changed my mind re the colors... 

Since my younger daughter will be the recipient of this some day in the future, I decided to use her college colors - no way did I want to use black and orange, which were her high school ones.
Let me say now that I really did not like doing this project... I won't give info on the 'pattern/directions' because they were really bad.... and I'm just glad that this is done and I'll never have to make one again.


In the process of trying to glue down the zipper so that I could sew a little easier, I pulled out the straight pin that I was using in the applicator of my glue baste it bottle... the head came off the pin and so I tossed it in the trash not realizing that I tossed the applicator with it.... Oh man!  I looked around in the trash a little bit, but decided to heck with it - it wasn't worth it.  I'll just go buy a new bottle - this one was REALLY old.
Ok - here it is  all done... crooked and in all it's glory.
Here's the inside pocket.....



There's also a zipper at the bottom so that you can store/stash items in there as well.

As a last minute thought, I machine embroidered her first name and used heat n bond to fuse it to a background piece before again using heat n bond to fuse it to the fabric safe itself.
That's it!  Done until the next challenge... which I will think a little harder about before attempting.

take care....

  1. Oh, I hate projects that are sideways from the get-go!! Good job in sticking with it and finishing it! It looks fabulous...but after your experience, I don't think I'll be trying it!

What to work on next

 I finished the two gift quilts - and both have been delivered to a parent of the little girl recipient. I have the requested photo from one...
