Pin Cushion & Scrap Bag

Just finished this cute scrap bag/pin cushion/pocket organizer for our Make it Mine sewing room. It is Elizabeth Hartman's pattern from Sew, Mama, Sew. I used 3 fat quarters. Turned out pretty cute, huh? I have a different one that I made a while back. Here it is:

I've loved using this little scrap bag! We decided that we needed one at each of our sewing stations so I need to make a few more. But I loaned out the pattern and can't remember who I gave it to! I thought I'd try Elizabeth's pattern. I don't know if I'll end up liking the organizer pockets to store seam ripper, scissors, etc., but it might help keep things a little more orderly for our individual sewing areas. The scrap bag is great for thread bits. Plus, these look so dang cute!

60 cards in 60 days...am I crazy or what?

For me, paper crafting comes in a close second to creating with fabric. I love to make one-of-a-kind cards, especially when I can give them away to someone who will then give them away--the gift that just keeps giving! So I was pretty excited when I was asked to make my aunt's Christmas cards for her this year. I considered it a challenge when she told me she needed 60 of them! Good thing she asked me at the beginning of October; I figured if I averaged one a day I'd have them done in time...so that's how it became known as my very own 60 Cards in 60 Days Challenge. 

I thought it would be fun to chronicle my progress in blog form. I will post each card as I've completed them. Since I've made several already, I have some catch-up blogging to do! Join me here at 60 cards in 60 days.
