I received an email of this fun version of the Junk Bag pattern from Marie and Greg Dick. Marie works at Cottonwood Quilts in Hutchinson, Kansas. This Snowman’s expression is precious! She is doing a Dessert Club in January and will use the Junk Bag pattern. She also sent me another version of the pattern. I love that these projects look so different depending on your color scheme and the words you choose!
Thank you, Marie for sharing your project, I love the scalloped edge with the buttons and the crocheted flower! It is very exciting to hear this pattern is being used in your classrooms!

My dear friend, Lisa had a Christmas Open House at her quilt shop, Picket Fence on Saturday and invited me to do a short presentation on making gifts and wrapping gifts and to introduce my Junk Bag pattern.

Steph and Bev joined me to help with handouts and door prizes.
I also got to see projects that friends are working on and projects they have finished.
How much fun are Wanda and Sandi having? I love it! Sandi brought her bag she made to show me. She crocheted this lace. I love this idea, very clever Sandi! The crochet lace is Tamara’s pattern from the bed-skirt in one of my project books, A Mother’s Love.

Emilee sent me some of the photos she took with her camera while I was in NYC designing fabric. I love this huge button and needle. We were right in the heart of the garment district, people were scooting by with garments hung on the huge metal racks!
This was taken inside Benartex Fabrics. Look at it all stacked up!
This is a view that a Kansas girl doesn’t see everyday. I had the hardest time getting a sense of direction in the city. A view like this helps you know where you are!
This is the beautiful church that I mentioned in a previous post. I just loved that you could walk in off the street.
