Recent Sewing Projects

I have recently been really into sewing...

Here is a wall quilt that I just finished.  It was the first time that I tried applique.  I was pretty happy with how it turned out but it did bunch in a few places.  One of my crafting friends recommended that I make my stitches a bit bigger when I do my quilting so I will have to try that next time.

The other project that I recently completed was a tote.  I don't like my fabric choice and there are a lot of things that I would do differently such as making the outside fabric a bit smaller so it doesn't bunch and using some kind of interfacing or a heavier fabric but it was good practice and I intend on making more totes in the future.
