Okay, almost done with Sam's quilt & BadGalQuilts T-shirts are in!








A friend of mine has a BGQ t-shirt, the cool, "distressed" kind that hipsters wear. The kind of tee that looks good on the boobs and is snug in a sexy way and a few friends of mine mentioned they wanted one. So I ordered some! They fit small so I got Mediums, Larges, and XLs.

Here they are! This is a sneak preview - they will soon be listed on my BadGalQuilts Etsy site.

Also, I managed to get Samantha's quilt done, except for the label and binding, for her birthday party so we got to show it to her. I will see her and her parents again this Sunday so I can hand it over then. It looks pretty good! I love the fabrics I used and like the color combination. I hope she gets a lot of use and love out of it!

Pssst.




Two more blocks are done. Made a mistake with one, but there you go. No time to stop and go back! One more block and we're on to finishing the quilt top etc. That's tomorrow. It's off to improv practice tonight!

Sssshhh! More blocks for the surprise quilt!






And now I'm going to bed after working on it for 12 hours approx.
Busy days coming up and I'm worried I won't finished. But I did 6 of 9 blocks today, so that's a start!

G'night.

Sssshhhhh! Working on a surprise last minute quilt.










































I am making a 3-year-old a quilt and her birthday party is Sunday. I started it today. Kids are not like adults - you can't show up and say, "I'm working on a great project for you". So it's either got to be done, or we give her something else.

I want it to be done. I am using a lot of different colored fabrics... ones that I really love. I'm not sure how they will all go together, but it's a quilt fer goshsakes! It'll work out one way or another. I've done 3 blocks. I need to finish at LEAST 6 today if it's gonna have a hope in happening.

Here they are... and I'm back to the cutting/ironing board.

Hiiiii-yah! Super cool Asian-girl-kick-ass tote with skull interior













I am in love with this bag. Probably because it took me a long time to make it. I'm still experimenting and getting things to be a little better each time I make one. But how cute is this? I know, I know, I'm too proud of myself. But I love these fabrics and they compliment one another so well.

This is a small tote, perfect for Summer, that has two interior pockets - one smaller for a cell phone, and one for a wallet - and a key chain sewn in so you can locate your keys in the bag. The handles I have reinforced with twill tape so you can carry something a little heavier.

I already have a buyer for this one (and I may just keep this one myself and make her another one!) but I will be making more soon. I also have this Asian themed fabric in light blue and pink so I'll be making variations of this with those too.

Hope you like it!

Next Tote... A Teaser!






Check out these wild, awesome fabrics! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Asian themed one with the kick ass girls. I will be making a bag for myself with one of these fabrics! I hope the sewing goes well, cuz this stuff is too good to waste.

Back soon with a more finished product.

And just like that... BAGS!











Ok, a bag. But more to come!

It has mistakes, so I won't be selling it, but check it out! I made a cute little tote! SO MANY ideas and great fabric to use now.

I will probably try to make it a little bigger and add some pockets. I live NYC and hate purses without pockets of any kind.

But I'm proud, people, I'm proud.

Now onto the fabulous world of bags...
