I went out the other day and encountered some random quilt stuff. I wanted to share some things with you.<\/p>\n

\"On-the-go-snack-case\"<\/a>
On-the-go-snack-case<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

First, at the Granary<\/a>, I saw some interesting patterns. I have Organizational items on the mind as that might be the theme of the guild’s next swap. (N.B. Click the ‘join here<\/a>‘ button so you can participate, too!). I saw a couple of interesting ideas. I thought they would be a little different than the Desktop Cube<\/a> type project I made recently.  One was a pouch for reusable silverware. I saw the larger one made up and it is a little on the large size, but the small size might be really useful.<\/p>\n

\"Pockets<\/a>
Pockets to Go<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Next, was the Atkinson Designs Pockets to Go<\/a>** pattern. As you can see in the pattern, there are two sizes. The larger size looks like it would be great for a car trip or to corral personal items in a hotel room. Obviously, this would work very well for Sew Day. It is a little like a purse organizer for things other than purses.<\/p>\n

The smaller size would fit very well on desks and next to sewing machines.<\/p>\n

This is more like the Desktop Cube<\/a> type project I made recently, but the handles and pockets make them a little more useful .<\/p>\n

The larger size reminds me of the Oslo Tote<\/a> I made for a swap<\/a> several years ago.<\/p>\n

\"Madelyn<\/a>
Madelyn Bag panel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Second, also at the Granary<\/a>, Julie pointed out a tote bag kit where the fabric is a printed panel. The various pieces of the bag are printed on the panel and labeled. For example the long strips at the top are labeled ‘straps’. Sadly, there was no picture of the finished bag on this package. Still, this is a great idea for new bag makers or if you want to make a quick bag as a gift.<\/p>\n

I had to go out and do some research to see if I could find out more about this product. I found the Quilt Trends site<\/a>. On it was the following description “a 36\u201d panel featuring Lazy Girl\u2019s popular Runaround Bag pattern, you\u2019ll be able to make two bags with this versatile panel. The pieces are printed, just cut them out. Basic directions are printed on this panel. If you would like a more complete pattern, the LGD Runaround Bag Pattern is available on this site.”<\/p>\n

I also found out that the panel is part of the ‘Madelyn’ line of fabric from Joan Hawley. The site describes this fabric as “Madelyn is Joan\u2019s latest collection for QT Fabrics. The Madelyn Collection is anchored by a Jacobean print in Joan\u2019s 11 piece collection done in her signature colors of aqua and purple. Supporting fabrics contain florals, scallops, tossed leaves, geometrics and a stripe.”<\/p>\n

Well, I am impressed that Joan or QT Fabrics thought a great panel to include would be a bag. Good work!<\/p>\n

\"Axe<\/a>

Third, from the MOMA is a fun little sewing machine called the Axe Yamazaki. I don’t think it is really that useful, but it is cute and I would love to take it for a test drive.<\/p>\n

Again, I wandered around the Web and found the Axe Yamazaki website<\/a>, which has better pictures of the machine. “This lightweight, only 4.6 Pounds,
\ncordless machine can be used anywhere.”  The machine’s size is given as 4.5″D x 11.5″W x 10.4″H. Cost is $168 and the machine comes with a cell phone stand.<\/p>\n
