I snagged a sample spree bundle of Sarah Watts' new From Porto with Love collection from Modern Quilter after Quilt Market, and I think it's one of her best. The colors are lovely, and the details are perfect -- so much great material for fussy cutting. I combined it with a few prints from Anna Rifle Bond's Les Fleurs collection for this small project. We had a difficult weekend of health issues with Bunny, spending several nights in the hospital, and though we're joyful to say that the doctor is getting to the bottom of her breathing issues, it's all been pretty exhausting and emotional. So once again, I embraced a little patchwork therapy.
I originally planned this pocket to be for my sunglasses, but it turned out to be a bit too small for that. Happily, though, it's exactly the right size for the little package of Kleenex that I keep in my purse.
The pocket is lined in a peach City Toile print, a soft lawn that features gold metallic designs. It makes such a gorgeous lining and goes perfectly with the travel theme that I was using for this project.
For the back, I used another metallic print from Sarah's collection. Sardines never looked so beautiful!
Another week, another small project...just the way I like it.
Love this little pouch. Do you have a tutorial for it? I also looked for that toile but can't find it. Is it out of print?
ReplyDeleteLove your pouch and the fabric is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLovely looking pouch and I like the 'toilet' print hehe
ReplyDeleteAs always, gorgeous work Heidi! Love the colors and fabrics that you used. Certainly hope that your daughter is doing better and they get her breathing problem fixed.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog. I know as a Mother how much we suffer when our children are ill. Wishing a quick healing for Bunny. Your work is beautiful and your sense of design and color I love.
ReplyDeleteAnother adorable project :-) I think that I'm most excited about the From Porto with Love (which is saying something considering how excited I am about ALL of them!). So sorry about your sick baby - that's the worst feeling for a parent. Glad they're making progress and hope it continues!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear of your "Bunny's" health issues. It is so had to have a little one sick! Hopefully, the doctors will get to the bottom of her issues and solve the problems once and for all. (Then you all will get some much needed rest and peace!
ReplyDeleteI love your little pocket. the fabrics are adorable. I really love the Sardines for the back, chic and whimsical!
That pouch is perfection. Every single piece together in a gorgeous whole.
ReplyDeleteMore importantly though, I hope Bunny will be okay and the docs and nurses and other specialists will be able to help you help her. Thinking of you all.
Gorgeous! I would love to own this collection of fabrics!
