Stay at Home Round Robin 2025

 I decided to join in with all of the fabulous quilters for the Stay at Home Round Robin, I have not participated before and would like to try it this year. It's always fun to have friendly quilters sewing along. I looked through all of my orphaned blocks and came up with this one. 

It is rather pink and red. There are some green and white flecks that I can work with, also. I guess it is better to use this block up instead of having it sit in my dresser drawer for another 5 years or so.

I would like to have a smaller quilt completed for a mini instead of a large quilt. This is a 12 1/2" block so I will keep the piecing small for the remainder of the SAHRR. But that's ok, hopefully I can figure it out.

Tiny Tote Bags for Christmas Treats

 I have not done any blogging for quite a while. So I thought I'd post a few of the items that I finished recently. Christmas has long past and we have been moving on into 2025; however, I did sew Tiny Tote Bags for my coworkers. 

I will tell that it was a bit of a time-consuming project. The pattern makes 10 tiny totes. I did sew 11 because there was some little squares left from the strip-piecing. 

I'm glad I sewed the extra one because I wanted to keep it for myself. Selfish, I know. But sfter all of my hard work, I wanted to be reminded of it each Christmas. I can hang it on the Christmas tree in future years.  Plus, the fabric is left over from a quilt top that I hope to have quilted and bound for Christmas 2025. The quilt top has been done for  probably 3 years, Deer Christmas fabric

Tiny Tote

Luckily there were 10 coworkers in my office so it made just enough. I filled the tiny tote with candy and added these fanciful "disco balls". John Travolta would be proud. I love his commercial at Christmas where he is the Santa Claus! I believe it is for Capital One.

A few of my coworkers really liked this. They commented: "it even has a little pocket".
