corona-cation first edition

ever dream of an endless sewing vacation?  i have and it seems it has finally materialized  (no pun!)....the old viking is 41 years old and this era of daily sewing just might finish her off....LOL!  here is today's installment....after cutting up a bunch of scraps, many of them reproductions, decided to try out this pattern....
my quilty pal, nann, had made an entire scrappy quilt of this pattern and it was so pretty, but i opted for a smaller version using scraps she mailed to me....not sure how big this will eventually be.  the block boards gifted to me are quite handy for small projects like this....and a guild pal had a vinyl project bag and it caught my eye; picked up some vinyl and pulled a couple of kaffe prints and made this...
she told me someone made it for her and used vinyl for the inside as well, which she thought was a plus, so i did as well....no pattern, just winged it with pretty good result...have enough vinyl to make another at some point....in addition, have put the 'home sweet home' wall quilt in the hoop and got the ironing big board recovered.   ***  tomorrow is going to be a wash but next up is basting!

    I really like that pattern. The options for using HSTs are endless, it seems. Just when I think I've seen them all, something like this pops up.
    Great project bag--and made with no pattern? I don't use "zipper" and "no pattern" in the same sentence. :)

    So pleased to find your blog. It was listed on Mrs Goodneedle's blogs I follow and I remember the name from when I used to read the Stshbuster list before it all got just too much. Just yesterday here in the UK pubs, cafes and restaurants were ordered to close though I think they may deliver do takeaway. I am viewing the self isolation as a positive and productive time for myself while worrying about what the long term consequences are. Thank goodness for quilt making. We are lucky in that respect.
