Preemie Quilts for Children's Hospital

Three Preemie Quilts for Children's Hospital.  I am a member of a Charity Bee and we had a lot of flannel in storage.  Our leader wanted to put it to good use and create some space in the storage unit.
So, she cut 25" squares and brought them to the meeting.  We put two together right sides touching and sewed around, leaving an opening for turning.  After turning right side out, we stitched around the edge.  We use two pieces of flannel or one piece of flannel and one piece of cotton fabric to make these cute little quilts.

Flannel Rag Quilt for Linus Quilts

A flannel Rag Quilt that I finished yesterday.  It will be donated to Linus Quilts through the WHQG. I am a member of the Charity Bee and we are trying to use up all of the flannel in storage. I added the plane and kitty flannel from my stash.

Monday Night Divas' Dinner

Each year, The Monday Night Divas Bee has its holiday celebration in January.  We gave up trying to get together in December, years ago.  We had dinner at the Saltgrass Steakhouse and exchanged fat quarters.  We have 10 members, but only 7 were in attendance.

Finished Tote Bag for Me

I liked the tote bag that I made for the Guild Shop, so I made one for me.
I cut two pieces of light denim, 12 1/2" x 22", two pieces of dark denim, 6 1/2" x 22" and two straps of dark denim, 6" x 27".  I cut two pieces of batting, 27" x 1 1/2" to go in the straps. Straps were folded to the middle and then over, so they finished 1 1/2" wide and 27" long.  I applied Pellon 808 to the four bag pieces.  The fabric lining was cut 18 1/2" x 22". Sewed the lining on three sides, leaving one 22" side open and a 6" opening in the bottom for turning. I boxed the bottom corners of both bag and lining.  The bag and lining pockets are Pellon 808 between two pieces of fabric.  I sewed the pockets right sides together on three sides, leaving the bottom open.  I turned them right side out and sewed the bottom on with 1/4" seam and then flipped pocket up into position and stitched on both sides, leaving the top open.  I sewed straps to the top of the bag with a 1/8" seam.  Placed lining and bag right sides together with straps tucked down and between the two.  Stitched all around the top of the bag with a 1/2" seam and turned bag through the lining hole.  Push lining down inside the bag and top stitch around the top of the bag with a 1/4" seam to keep lining in place. The 6" hole in the lining can be closed by hand or machine.
(Hints:  Sew pockets on before constructing bag and leave a turning hole in the lining.)  I made both of these mistakes on the first bag. lol

Love this roomy bag.

Tote Bag

I made this Tote Bag to be sold in the Guild Shop at our Quilt Show in 2019. A bunch of denim was donated to our Guild and the Charity Bee made totes from it.
My first time to make an interfaced and lined tote. It turned out pretty good if I do say so myself.
