CORK IT! from Kwilty Pleasures

I hadn't made a bag for myself in quite some time.
I wanted to use up some of my cork!
I found a pattern that seemed perfect.


I like when a pattern has labels for the pieces needed.
Keeps me organized and happy!

The red is cork and sew easy to work with.

I don't always follow a pattern exactly.
Sometimes I change up a pocket, add a key toggle.




My label is added.


I added a slip pocket to the front for my phone.
The pattern called for a zipper pocket.



All ready for the fall season ...

PATTERN TEST - HOLDONG HEARTS from Kwilty Pleasures

I love to 
Pattern test for Corrine Wells at
Frannie B Quilt Comoany!

I recently tested this pattern…
I needed it to fit the perimeters of my charity quilts
for Stitching Sisters. 

I wasn’t crazy about the small hearts or 
Setting the blocks on point. 



I cut and labeled the pieces I would use for the various blocks.
I am using fabrics I got from the Stitching Sisters stash.

Fabrics sorted and labeled for 3 blocks 

Block A


Block B


Block C


Because there were a lot of pieces that needed diagonal line sewing
I used my handy dandy ...

WONKED OUT GHASTLIES from Kwilty Pleasures


Several years ago I was in a Ghastlies Wonky Star Swap
with a few Friends on Instagram.
All of us used white low volume backgrounds,
And added our own Ghastlies prints and stash for then stars.

These are my blocks!


They sat for years as I was unsure what I wanted to do with them. 
I never rush into anything!

Someone gave me this pattern and a lightbulb went off! 
I could do something similar, but different. 




I made sure all the blocks were the same size and proceeded from there 
 And I found the greenish fabric in my stash ...
