Sewing for me is therapeutic and makes me happy. This morning I had a smile on my face as I made this cute gathered clutch today as a Christmas present. I got the idea from the blog "Sew Mama Sew," which lead me to a tutorial on a blog called "Noodlehead." See the gathered clutch tutorial at this link: http://noodleheads.blogspot.com/2010/04/gathered-clutch-tutorial.html My clutch doesn't look as good as the sample, but I have to admit it was my first time sewing a zipper. It was really easy and wanted to pass the idea along!

Scarlet's Quilt
Say hello to one of my latest quilting projects. I made this baby quilt for one of my new nieces, Scarlet. The bright and cheery colors of the fabric are awesome! Justus was tempted many times to hide this quilt because he said it was too beautiful to give away. Don't worry, the quilt left Arizona on Saturday to be delivered to Scarlet (along with hugs and kisses from Aunt Katie-Kate). In case you are curious, I bought all of my fabric from Joann's and used a pattern called "Paper Chains" from QuickQuilt's Winter 2009 magazine. I added red flannel as the backing for extra coziness (as you can imagine, living in Phoenix does not motivate me to use flannel in my quilts).
