WIP Wednesday

I started stitching this little embroidered alphabet quilt last week while on vacation, but only got a few letters done.

A tutorial for the Embroidered Alphabet Mini Quilt can be found on Orange Flower's blog.

This was my first time using a back stitch, and it has been good practice! (just don't look too closely at my A!) I think I am going to make another one with the 29 letters of the Spanish alphabet next. I thought it would be cute to give to Cristian for his birthday, then he can play with it and practice his letters/ colors.

Last night I made up this little reusable snack bag. I made it using Alexander Henry's 'Traffic Jam' (Thanks Leah!) I am not completely happy with how it turned out, the side seams are a little bulky. The seams are not exposed though, so there will not be any fraying when it is washed. I plan on working on another design this afternoon, hopefully I can get the seams to lay nice and flat...
Just a little sneaky peek of something I was working on yesterday.
It was the first time I sat down at my sewing machine since going on vacation, and I am enjoying doing some fun, small projects. I have lots of ideas for things for my shop, but it is nice to not feel 'obligated' to sew for my shop..
