Autumn Color - Sew and Tell

As much as I love the bright colors of summer I realize I need to veer my attention towards the warm and toasty colors of Autumn. I created these bags to kick off the season. The Quilted Hipster is a new design for me and a way to use those small pieces of batting left over from quilts. Both bags are in the shop!

The Chartreuse Quilted Hipster, with one large interior pocket and a magnetic snap closure. created with a patchwork of lime green linen, Amy Butler Lotus and Midwest Modern and Joel Dewberry Deer Valley. A little quilt on a strap!



The Autumn Lily Tote , with one large interior pocket and a magnetic snap closure. Created with Amy Butler Lotus and Valori Wells Del Hi.
I'm so happy to be taking part in Amy Lou Who's Sew and Tell Friday! Stop on by and see what other creative gals are up to!

I'm hosting two (2) GIVEAWAYS that end today! Check them out and enter here and here. Have a great week!
