 Quilted Pocket Bag

Dear Stitch Diaries,
       I love bags. I must... I have about 50. Small ones, Big ones, Giant ones, and yet I make more. Then I think to myself what a cute gift this would be and make even more! Such is the life of a crafter. I have made about 12 of these for my friends and family. Many of them use the bags as their scripture bags. I use mine as a small craft bag. It is perfect for both because it has 8 pockets.


When I have a bunch of super cute fabric in a fat quarter bundle, this is one of the many different things I make with it. I usually have enough to make a bunch of cute fabric flowers and pillows with some of my hand embroidery patterns as well.



I have the Quilted pocket bag pattern for sale on my store at indebquiltshop.com


I will do a post on how to make these flowers soon. Keep a look out!



Happy Crafting!

The Stitch Diaries begins

Dear Stitch Diaries,  In all things there is a beginning. In most things there are many beginnings. Such is my life. I find that most people I know, get frustrated by this, and I get it. Life has taught me a very important lesson that forever changed my outlook on this. Just because a great idea does not take flight, does not mean that it was not a great idea. It simply was not the right time. Often times you were lacking something; time, money, motivation, and so on. I have had many great ideas in my pocket that later, as my life matured, were able to fall into place and take off. Some of them even took off at the time but didn't last long, and while serving a good purpose at the time, needed to rest for a season.   This crafting blog was one such idea. I had moved away from some of my best crafting friends and we missed crafting together. I have firmly believed that crafting with friends always makes your projects better, and longer, and more expensive, but most importantly bette

Bless the Birds Dear Stitch Diaries,         I have to be honest, I love Summer more than I love Spring. Spring is so wet and muddy. Grass is still yellow and as the snow melts, garbage and the mess we all left in the yard starts to become visible. I created this little project to remind me of summer days! Every time I look at it, I smile.        I put this in a frame that I display in my entry the moment Valentine's Day is over, willing summer to come faster! I used bright vibrant colors! Life is better the brighter it can be! You can find this fun pattern at indebquiltshop.com     Happy Crafting!

Pin Cushions

 Dear Stitch Diaries,      I have been crafting for 42 years and only recording them for about the last 20. I will be loading as many as I possibly can. I have so many from years past and of course I keep creating. So needless to say I will not be posting things in chronological order, but rather when ever I feel like loading what ever I want. Oh yes, the freedom of that sentence. I have not always been able to accept such freedom! Some would say uptight, I would just say picky. My life has always seemed to crave an exact order. As a small child with my room always clean. Everything had a place. Even my books were in alphabetical order, or numerical order, or order by color according to the rainbow. Which ever I preferred at the time. I believe that having 4 children helped cure me of such things. You can drive yourself crazy if you cant learn to let some things go.     Today I am going to share my adventure with making Pin Cushions. Who would have thought it would have been like eatin
