Bag It

I thought I'd change things up a bit this week. Rather than going to the "Show Your Handmade" thread (which you should still go and check out), I thought I'd showcase something from the team pages. Because I'm a sucker for bags...

A knitter can never have too many project bags...

Stitchy

As I always do at this time of the month (the time when my blog post is due), I looked around the "Show Your Stuff" thread in the discussion boards in hopes of finding a theme. That's when I stumbled across this...

Pendant Heart Necklace by An Astrid Endeavor

And a theme was born. Needlework & sewing. I'm not much of a sewer, but I am familiar with some of the tools of the trade. Pincushions are useful. I did not know that you could get pincushions on rings.

Houndstooth Ring Pincushion by Stitch Nerd

Nor had I seen them in cups.

Tea Cup Pincushion by Stitchuation

Well, now I know.

I have always admired quilts, and I was surprised to find that some of the team members sell them. The work that must go into these...

Hawaiian Plumeria Quilt by Sferra Designs


Geometric Quilt by Malibu Quilts

They're so beautiful that they belong as wall art. If only I could sew...  

Then I found something nearer to what I'm familiar with--a crochet hook storage device.

Crochet Hook Book by Handcrafted Books

(Currently, all of my crochet hooks live in an Animaniacs coffee mug.)  

I wasn't sure where to end this post until I stumbled across this cape...

Little Red Riding Hood Cape by Jeanine Designs

I want a cape. I need a cape. No, I don't need a cape, but I do want a cape.

That'll do it for now. If you could sew (or if you do sew), which would you rather sew: a quilt or a cape? And do you prefer your pincushions on your finger or in a cup?  

This post contributed by Liz of Zizi Rho Designs who is eyeing the sewing machine...never mind. She doesn't know what she's doing that that piece of machinery.
