Modern Yardage

Hello there! I've been away for a while, sorry about that! I've got a lot going on these days...new baby...eldest starting school...etc. My sewing time has been a bit sporadic and you'll have to forgive me for spending my free time sewing and not posting on my blog. I think with school starting now, I'll have a regular schedule again and will begin dusting off this blog.

I finished my Bloom Bloom Pow quilt, I'll post about that soon. And I have 85 of the 100 Tula Pink 100 Blocks done. I will post about that soon too.

My post today is about a designer friend of mine who's working with this awesome new company Modern Yardage. They specialize in print-on-demand modern fabric at a fantastic price! Allison Beilke designed this fabulous collection called Business and Leisure and asked several of us to make projects with it. I was delighted to finally be able to put this collection into use. Not to mention I've been attracted to the red/aqua color combo for a while. Perfect solution!

In the works are a sew-a-long with members of the Milwaukee Modern Quilt Guild of Elizabeth Hartman's Sewing Circle Tote. I decided to make mine with Allison's cool fabric.

Here it is:



I also made a coordinating wide-open pouch by Noodlehead. I'm pretty happy with this little bag too.


Thanks for stopping by, TTYL!
