Finished cosmetic case. This one just because, but boy did it give me grief! I only put the snaps on wrong twice! Gah! I hate when I am stupid! I blame 3 dogs, 1 of which is a Brutabaga, for my inattention.
I used a dark navy thread on the vertical and a lime green on the horizontal lines, quilting along the plaid design. I used Peltex to see how well it will hold its shape. So far I have used batting, Soft and Stable, and Peltex. My fav is Soft and Stable, it holds the shape better than batting, but not as stiffly as Peltex. I put the snaps too close on this one, so there is little wiggle room for filling the pockets.
Yeah, it’s pretty rigid
MTT: For the Winter Whimsy pattern I am using cottons and machine blanket stitch from my new machine’s stitches. How will I learn its capabilities if I don’t use it? My fabric pull was easy since I have so much red, green and golds.

Can’t wait to get this one finished. But not sure how I will go with the FMQ on this. I would love to do swirls and curls, but I need a lot more practice on curves, I am too jerky for them at this point. I may have to do some cat mats to perfect curves.

Do you know how to care for your peaches? Well I do now, because,
I got a few of them the other day, and might need to know these tips.
10 peaches shy of 25lbs!!! Oh my! I may have to give the neighbors more!

Look at all those peaches! I bet they’re yummy!
I love the new case and totally understand about the distractions!
Hopefully we will enjoy their yumminess for a few months. I have cut and frozen a bunch of them, and will repeat the process again today. I still have half a case left!! LOL And in 2 weeks I’ll grab another box when they come back to town for their last round. Thanks! > >
I really like the look of the new toiletries case! Very classy! We love peaches here, too!
Thanks, I guess it will be mine since I have no idea who to gift it to. Peaches, my kitchen smells soooo good!! >
Oh all those peaches- lucky you!!!
The cosmetic case is super cute- I like the navy and green together:)
Yes, all the peaking and cutting of all those peaches! LOL thanks.

Your cosmetics bag is lovely and the quilting puts it over the top. Those peaches do look delicious!
Thanks! The peaches ARE delicious!

It looks fabulous! I love the grid quilting that you did!
The grid was so easy! I just followed the plaid. I love the effect it gave on the inside! Thanks for stopping by!

Wish I were a neighbor, LOL! I’m not a huge fan of peaches except when I can get really good fresh ones. These look just terrific! I love your Christmas pattern. However it’s quilted, it will be fabulous. How clever of you to quilt the cosmetic case in two colors. It really looks great, and I know you (or someone you gift) will get a lot of use out of it.
Thank you. I am thinking this case and the next one I am halfway through will go to my neighbors who arranged our neighborhood party. They live in the 2 houses across the street and are lovely gals. > >
Oh my, my ……. soooo many peaches! There’s nothing better than a summer ripe peach!!!
I know. Just wish I lived in Georgia where I could get them daily!
