Back from Buffalo, and a bit of sewing :)

Hubby and I took a little trip to Buffalo to mail some packages and do a little shopping - I picked up some black/white and lime green FQ's for a string quilt, a lot of buttons, some ribbon and split rings for making zipper bags, and a double needle. I also picked up a yard of pretty pink floral fabric and a yard of a TOT to go with it, plus some ladybugish fabric - red with black polka dots :) I was really only looking for specific items (most of which I didn't find) so it was a small haul - relatively speaking ;)

Here's the Christmas gift bag I made today (22" x 27") to hold the quilt/pillowcase I recently finished ... plus some zipper bags made to use up the last bits of the golf fabric that's on the front :)

  1. Seems like there was a song about "shuffle off to Buffalo"....can't quite remember. We made it to PH today but not a lot of satisfaction there either! The quilt shop seems to have less and less of the $3/yd fabrics every time. Love your gift and zipper bags! How's Zoomer doing?

  3. Even though you didn't get all you wanted, I'll bet it was nice to get away for a bit, especially since you had to cancel your plans last weekend.

    Cute bags as always, both the gift bag and the zipper bags.
