Some finishes...friendship bag plus


 There is a group of us who did an ugly fabric challenge.  I made a friendship bag with this floral fabric.....which I do not think is ugly.  I like it...and added some scraps of fabric.  I have made friendship bags before using the pattern from psiquilt.  The batting is bosal and I will use this bag for my markers and pens.
 I made some coasters with some scraps of fabric and gave one to my neighbor for her birthday.  I have more in the process.  I quilt the backing separate from the front and then join them right sides together and turn and topstitch.
 I get such great inspiration from Joanne Sharpe and I made these accordian art projects from an idea she had on Whimspirations.
 I even made one for my Weight Watcher reminders.  These are made from watercolor paper and painted with watercolor paints and then markers to finish!

I am adding this to crazy mom quilts finish it up Friday.......................
And to Linky Tuesday.  Freemotion by the River.............

Smiles and hugs....Caryl
