All's I can say is Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Kate Spain !!!!

I have been waiting for months to get my hands on Fandango, a wonderful new line of fabric from Kate Spain for Moda.
Not only is this fabric beautiful to look at but it has such a nice feel to it, like butter !!!!!
I had to pace myself so I purchased a few pieces but OMG, I can't wait to go back and get more.
These pieces are going to make gorgeous Purses, Book Bags, Diaper Bags. Hmmm, I need a new Purse !!
This first group is beautiful shades of Tiffany Blue, Greens and Creme. My pictures really don't do it justice. Really the green is a soft dreamy color and it just doesn't show up that way.

The next group is a bright fun Orange, with big beautiful flowers in shades of Peach, and the leaves are that yummy Tiffany Blue surrounded by that dreamy Green.

Last but certainly not the last I buy, he he, is that dreamy Green with Tiffany Blue and Creme, and the accent piece is like the most beautiful Spanish tile you have ever seen, oh boy, am I over the top on this fabric or what????

Finally some new fabric !!!

I finally got around to taking some pictures of new fabric I bought for either a Purse, Book bag or Diaper bag.
I am posting here first, mainly because it is such a pain to post on my website.
This first group is bright and cheery fabric with great shades of Yellow, Black, Gray and White. I love the accent fabric that fades from Black to Gray. The main fabric and Gray accent fabric is a line called Eclipse.

This next fabric I have used before but found  a different accent fabric.

These bright cheery fabrics are by Michael Miller. Fun shades of Black, Lime Green, Peach Red and Tiffany Blue.

Next is a line called Meadowsweet by Sandi Henderson for Michael Miller

I just love the shades of Pink, Orange, Peach, Creme, and a punch of Brown.

Okay, fell in love with this fabric, so much so I bought it with out a accent piece to go with it.    Oh look, another line by Michael Miller, see a pattern forming? The background on this fabric is a deep Brown, with bright flowers in Pink and Blues and Greens. Love it !!

What's that saying about the shoe makers kids???

Well, I finally got my daughter's book bag done. So it was a week after school started, you know the shoe makers kids.
Every year before school starts Amanda and I go shopping for fabric to make her school bag. Amanda always picks her fabrics and knows exactly where and how she wants them.
This year she decided she didn't want a tote, she was ready for a book bag. She picked a great line of fabric called Sanibel by Heather Mulder Peterson for Henry Glass.
It is such a bright and cheery fabric, much like Amanda.
I love the shades of deep peach, yellow, greens and blues.

Don't you agree, it matches her personality.

What a fun Book Bag and Matching Pencil case

What a great color combo !
I love working with great fabric and these amazing colors.
Go figure,  it's called Belle by Amy Butler.
Don't you just love the great dots by Micheal Miller, my daughter Amanda picked the dots to go with Belle. She has a great eye for color, wonder where she gets that???
I think the pencil case is a great accessory, this customer is going to school in style this year.

Wow, have I been bad about posting !!!

Sorry for such a long stretch between post, life is just been crazy.  I have been busy as well.
I made and sent a beautiful Bella Blossom off to Tuscon last week only to have it get lost in the mail. I can't believe after all this time and over  hundreds of purses and bags mailed out that one got lost in the mix.
Thank goodness I have  plenty of the  fabric, it was the original Chez Moi from Moda and I fell in love with it so I bought a bunch.
Here is a picture of the original, so if you see anyone walking around in Tucson JUMP THEM !!!!! Just kidding.

I also made this custom Book/Brief case.  My customers business color is Red, so the entire bag was made in Red Dimples. Her business has a diamond as it's logo so I made it out of the Swarovski crystals. I was so pleased with the way it turned out. Forgive the picture, you can still see the chalk lines I used to guide me with my diamond shape.

This one has several custom pockets on the inside and was just what she had wanted. Off to make a few more custom bags, promise I will be back to post soon.

Great Response to my Products.

Just wanted to "Thank" all my fellow Women of Faith in Business members. I had my 15 minute showcase today and had a wonderful response and a great show of support for my Sew Bella business.
I will be updating my website in the next few days with my new purse and all my Bella Totes.
So if you get a chance check it out.

Customer Quilt

Just finished this quilt for a customer.
Normally I just do the quilting  for customers, but this
 one I did from start to finish.

I cut, pieced, and quilted this Brown Bear quilt.

The picture  is what it looked like before I loaded it onto my long arm quilting machine.

Below is how it looked after I quilted it. I wish I had gotten a closer shot of the quilting. I used a variegated thread and fun quilting pattern called Popcorn.
