What a fun week its been seeing so many wonderful projects on the Nancy Drew blog hop and today is my day to share! I got an idea for my project the very day Madame Samm announced the hop. Being the procrastinator that I am I waited till this week to make it! Ha, ha, ha.
Every good detective needs a journal to write in when they are snooping!
I love to make journal covers. Lately I've been having fun with quilt-as-you-go kinds.
I like to not over think when I make them. Just grab a piece of fabric and sew it down.....sew my quilting lines without marking or measuring....eyeball it, baby, eyeball! :) Its pretty freeing, actually.
This is the back. Do you notice the sunshine? I got lucky and was able to photograph when the sun decided to make a rare Northwest appearance.
An inside peek.
Two days ago I decided I could whip out another project and use up some more fabric I bought. My cute little journal cover certainly didn't dent the layer cake I bought. I decided I wanted a tote bag. I know you've seen tons already but I *had* to have one!
Side one:
Side two:
That's it! Thanks for taking the time to stop by.
Thanks to Madame Samm and Carol for such a fun blog hop.

I like both of your projects very much. The straight line quilting on your journal looks lovely.
Your quilting is perfect for the journal cover and the black handles of the tote make for a dramatic look.

Love it all. Your journal cover is wonderful. I`m crazy about the quilting and your`re right about "eye balling' being freeing. My husband cringes when I do that, lol.
Thanks for inspiration, fun and a fabulous visit!
The quilting on your journal cover looks beautiful and your tote...very nice...I think the reason there have been many bags in this hop is that it was a great idea to make one with this fabric line. I enjoyed seeing your projects today, thanks for sharing!

Love the quilting lines on your journal cover. ANd the tote is great too. I like the larger size totes and yours looks perfect.
Love your projects. I like the idea of quilt as you go. I think that is the next thing I want to learn.
Really like the styel of your bag.

Wow a journal cover. What a neat idea. Are they hard to make? I want one too! You ladies are so very creative.
I like both projects. I love the yellow you used for the contrast at the top of the books.
Really great designing and sewing on both projects - they look wonderful... and, I'm from the Northwest also - we may not get many sunny days this time of year, but they sure are glorious when we get them!
I love your projects! Your quilting is eyeballed! I think it is perfect! Thanks for sharing.
I like your book cover. Very good.

I like both of your projects. The bag looks great, I love the fabrics you chose. Thanks for sharing.
Great, great projects. I really like both 0f them. Love the handles on the bag too! Thank you for sharing.
Great projects! (And it was so nice to have sun here in the Northwest, wasn't it?)
2 very useful projects that look great too.
Both of your projects are awesome! Love the bag especially. Wish I could quilt as straight as you did on your notebook cover.
Great projects. They turned out very nicely.
Your journalling book and book bag are just the thing for Nancy as she heads out the door for some sleuthing. She can put he maginify glass and Bushnells in there too and looks like she would still have plenty of room left. Thank you for taking time to be part of this blog hop and sharing you great items with us.
Sincerely,
Tricia

Love both of your projects but especially the journey cover with the beautiful quilting.
Great projects! They make a nice set.
Two great projects. I like the way you placed your fabrics in the bag. The notebook/diary cover was a favorite of mine.
The journal cover is amazing and to think you just sort of freehand make them. Wow! And then the bag is adorable and functional. What a great inspiration. Thanks for participating and the wonder projects.
