Women of the Bible Sampler Blocks 27 - 30

Here are the latest sampler blocks I have done.  Its getting harder to pick fabrics for each as I've been trying not to repeat combinations.  But I think I'm going to need to let go of that!   :)

 Block 27 - Samaritan Woman.  10 inches


Block 28 - Anna   10 inches


Block 29 - Priscilla   10 inches


Block 30 - Joanna    15 inches


I thought I'd show you a pic I took (before the above blocks were made) of the blocks laid out in their approximate locations.  I needed to see how my color placement was working out.  Not too bad.  
The angle distorts them.  I assure you they are all square.  LOL!

Aeroplane Bag

I've been ignoring my blog again!   Instagram has kinda taken over as the place where I post pics of what I've been doing.    :) 

I bought the Aeroplane Bag pattern by Sew Sweetness over a year ago.  Just got around to making it.
I made the large size bag. Its a carry on size.  I did have challenges with this bag.  Lots of stiffness and bulk to put under the needle.  A few ugly spots by the zipper.  


There are two zippered pockets inside.
 I used it on my recent trip to Texas.  I had a weeks worth of clothes & shoes in it.  Worked great.  Only thing I didn't like was that with no wheels I had to always carry it.  
I will be sticking with my regular carry on for plane travel and use this bag for car trips.

My bff and I both made the bag. Here's a pic of both.

Pretty, huh?  :)
