A new pouch pattern by Cynthia!

My good friend Cynthia has drawn up a new pattern for a Take it With You Pouch.  It is the perfect size for your iPad, a charger, some pens and a notebook.  I love it!  I made it up the other day with some Sevenberry cotton and linen dot.  Lined it with a super lovely dark yellow floral print that I found in the stash and used some peltex for stiffening.  It sewed up super easy and it will be perfect to grab as I go off to meetings or conferences once I am back to work next week. 

I left off the handle just because I wanted it to be more like a clutch but the handle is there for you if it is your jam.  Way to go, Cynthia!  Another great pattern.

Hmm... Let's Eat!

Cynthia gave me some of her new fabric a little bit ago and I used some of her Let's Eat line for Robert Kaufman combined with some scraps to make Husband some new oven mitts.  I have to say it is pretty awesome to have such a talented quilty buddy!  This particular line has some lovely fun choices and this particular fabric worked perfectly with my black and white scraps and that awesome clown stripe binding.  Lots of quilting in Aurifil 50 wt in grey keeps all the layers of batting and insul-bright together.  Wouldn't want any heat to get through these mitts.  I did not use a pattern but traced around an old pair of oven mitts that we have used for years.  Super fun and oven mitts are a great gift item for showers or house warming gifts.  Or for your husband if you are like me and have a husband that does all the cooking!

Don't forget, Sew Sisters has free shipping in Canada this weekend!

How about a REALLY cute potholder?

I was playing the other day with some awesomely wonderful new fabric from my super talented buddy Cynthia Frenette.  The line is called "Let's Eat" for Robert Kaufman.  Cynthia gave me some of her advance yardage to have some fun with.  The line should be arriving in stores soon and the cherries with the little dots are just the bees knees.  So I made a potholder using NanaCompany tutorial.  So darn cute!  Linking up with Amanda Jean for finish it up Friday!  And I finally got going on Instagram.  Seriously, what took me so long?  Anyway, I put a little button up on the sidebar so you can find me @cathyeric.  Have a super day!
