April 2020 Eye Candy

March 31, 2020 / Kat /

So…

ALL of the bags pictured below were created using our patterns & either shared on our FaceBook Group page, or mailed to us directly!
But here’s the deal… I really love the collection of bags we’re showing you this month especially because so many of our designs are represented! seriously AMAZING!

So let’s get started!

Gayla Martell reported that this is her 6th Flaptastic Bag and that the exterior for this one is comprised entirely of vinyl bought at Hobby Lobby and she LOVES this look!
And if you’re a lover of all things Laurel Burch (as i am) then you will be smitten by Deb Tabert‘s Gateway! I think cats look amazing on the Gateway design!

And Georgia Segura has made quite a few Quattro‘s over the years and here is her latest which was both her last of 2019 and her 1st of 2020! 🙂

Sandra Rochon called this Sling Along a pure “joy to sew”. She added that in her opinion the instructions were clear, concise & easy to follow and that she predicts another will be made in her future!

Carolina Wilson said that this beautifully embroidered Gateway was a Valentine’s Day gift from her sister, Virginia Brown. Silver thread was used to embroider the bicycle and Virginia did a super job!

Angelia Fleming created this totally appropriate Sling Along for a friend who works in the US Forest Service out of several fat quarters. The front pouch pocket was appliqued. I love this story and its one of the best stories I’ve heard this year to date!
And you might remember that Angelia Fleming inquired of this group for advice on how to stabilize this woven souvenir fabric from Mexico for her Sling Along, and thanks to many in this group, it came out in spectacular fashion!

And Cynthia Wheelehan-Boo used inexpensive fabrics from her stashfor her very 1st Sling Along just until she could get a feel for this pattern, but now she can’t wait to make another. She was happy to be able to finish it in time to show it off at the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival last month and I was thrilled to see it!

And here’s Pat Ross‘s take on our Flaptastic design! She chose a brave combination of fabrics/prints and I am ALL IN! It came out beautiful!

Heidi Jackman‘s brother brought this fun fabric back from Hawaii for her and she is SO excited to have finished this shop-stopping Go-Go Compact just time for her trip to Fiji! (I hope she sends us a picture of her wearing it while enjoying that Fiji sunshine!)

So there you have it!

    I love my Gateway! Looking forward to using it when biking this summer…if only the weather would warm up-we just had snow flurries!!
