Farm Girl Vintage apron strings tabletopper

My finish this week and I love it on my glass top kitchen table.

This is the apron strings block from Farm Girl Vintage sew along.

If you are on instagram you have seen a lot of wonderful blocks from this sew along....

AND if you aren't on instagram.....why not??

Here is the back of the tabletopper with the quilting and before I added the binding.........

friendship bag finished

 Here is my cute little friendship bag....made it with no handles...
The tutorial is at psiquilt....very easy to make.
I think everyone should make at least one of these!

 Here is a photo after I quilted it and before cutting off the batting...
I quilted loops and heart leaves.....my favorites when I haven't done FMQ for awhile!

 In between other projects I am sewing up these little 16 patches....

I am using 1½" strips cut about 5" and sew 4 together....
then cross cut into 1½" strips....
then I sew them into 16 patches.
I got the idea for this method from red pepper quilts postage stamp tutorial.

Now I have some other tote bags I have started and I need to finish them.
Smiles and hugs....Caryl
