Gotta Love Those Gift Bags

So, I think I am hooked on making gift bags and matching cards. I almost, notice I said ALMOST, don't care about what is inside just as long as I can come up with a fun outside.

This was for the last of the April birthdays in our "foster family" group of friends. She is a great cook and loves anything kitchen, cooking related. So I made a few aprons for her and found a fun cookbook with lots of yummy pictures. Don't you just love looking at the pictures in a cookbook?

This is just a straight 1/2 apron that is reversible. The other side is the same fabrics in reverse.

Since the gift was kitchen themed I thought I would splash the bag with the same.

This is a 12x16 bag.

Checkbook Cover, pt. 2

I posted a few quilted or stitched items a few weeks ago. I asked for some ideas and comments and promised to give away a quilted checkbook cover to one commenter. Well, L.B., won her own personalized checkbook cover. She said she liked purple, blue, green, and polka dots. I also knew that LB was a Cricut Circle member. Using all of that info, this is the cover I came up with for her.


Checkbook Cover Front, with button/elastic closure.

Back, with pen holder.



Inside pockets - one for register; one for checks, complete with plastic spacer
to write on without messing with the duplicate check below.

 I waited to post these picture until I knew LB had received it. Did not want to ruin the surprise. I am working on perfecting the pattern for this project. Then I might be willing to sell a few. Stay tuned for more news on that idea later.
Thank you LB for posting comments on your blog.
