Crazy Quilt Finishes

It's been a busy week.  I feel like all I've done is run around here and run around there.  Appointments, having to pick up things at the grocery store and then cleaning and laundry.  But somehow I managed to finish up a few of the projects that I was working on.  First is my Victorian Crazy Quilt Handbag:

I had crocheted some pink trim for the bottom but when I put it this purse together, it just didn't seem to work.  So I went a more simple finish for the bottom.  I think it came out nicely!

Next is my Snowman Pillow:

If you don't remember, I made this piece for my aunt for her birthday which is in October.  My aunt loves snowmen so I think she'll enjoy having this!

Finally, I finished up this Crazy Quilt Teddy Bear Doll:

This is a gift for a friend.  I want to get this in the mail either tomorrow or Saturday.

For those of you taking my Crazy Quilt Online Course, I'm working on Lesson 8 right now.  I thought I'd have it done by now but again, I feel like I've done nothing but run around all week!  We'll have it ready soon!

Crazy Quilt Snowman Pillow

I have some things to share today, all in various stages of progress.  First, is my pink cellphone pouch:

This is completely finished now and ready to go to it's new owner!

Next, is my little green Crazy Quilt teddy bear:

It doesn't look like much now but it will when I get it sewn up next week.

Last but not least, my newest project.  A Crazy Quilt Snowman pillow:

I did the little cross stitch snowman a few years ago.  Finally decided to sew it into a pillow.  I just started on this piece this morning.  I'm done with chores for the day so I can go stitch on it some more now!

Crazy Quilt Teddy Bear

Well, I finally decided what to sew my 2 stitched pieces that I shared yesterday into.  Hmmmm.....should I spill the beans?  or wait?  I think I'll tease ya'll and wait!  Both are sewn so I just have to do the hand finishing.  If all goes well, I'll post photos tomorrow.  You'll definitely want to see these so do stop back!

A friend of mine asked me for one of my Crazy Quilt Teddy Bears in green so I started stitching on it this morning:

I would have been further along on this but my little baby kitty Cotton decided that he wanted to stitch too.  I told him that he was too young to play scissors and needles!  LOL!!!  I put it down to play with him and some of his toys.

While digging around in my stash for the something the other day, I found a few packages of vintage satin blanket seam binding:

I opened the satin binding up and ironed it flat.  Vintage anything is such high quality compared to most of what's available now.  I'm going to use it to make a few yo-yo's.  There's miles yardage here so I'll either make a lot of yo-yo's or I'll save some for future crazy quilt projects!
