Kitten Mini Quilt Swap

I am participating in a Kitten Mini Quilt Swap on Instagram (#kittenmqs2015). I was so excited for this swap that I finished my mini INSANELY early. It's been sitting on a chair looking super cute and I think that my partner will love it! I saw a picture of a painting on Pinterest that looked just like this and thought I'd make my own little pattern out of it. I just went to her Etsy account and saw that she paints quilt blocks! Ha, who knew?

Here is the lovely all quilted and put together. My partner had stated that she wouldn't mind a pillow cover, so that's what I've made! I'm very proud of my work on this cover and with how my quilting
turned out. I'm still crazy new at machine straight line quilting, but I am quite proud of how this turned out!

Because I finished so early, I decided to make an extra for my partner.

I made this little pouch! It could be a coin purse, but the pattern is meant for sewing notions. Link to the pattern here. It was a cute little project and I love how it turned out!

The snap took quite the effort. Curtis had to use one of his leather snaps (he makes knife sheaths) on it because I was out and didn't want to go to the store! Long story short: after about 20 minutes of effort and four hands, we managed to get it to work! I think it's super cute and I hope my partner loves it! I just can't get enough of those little Cotton and Steel tigers!

with love,

Courtney

Little Arrow Pouch

Hello everyone! I have decided to do another post on my Little Arrow Paper Pieced Pattern!

I decided to start off by showing you a couple of different ways this block can be used! I think there are several cool ways to use this block and I hope you guys decide to give it a try.

This is the layout I decided to stick with. I thought I'd keep it simple for this little project.

I made a zipper pouch! I think it will be for one of my partners in some upcoming Instagram swaps I'm in. I haven't decided who just yet, but I have a couple of people in mind!

Here it is all nice an finished. This was a quick little project and I hope you guys like it! If you make anything using this pattern please don't forget to use the #littlearrowpaperpieced so that I can see your lovely creations, too!

Also, I am in the process of getting an official logo for my blog as well as working on starting up an Easy shop! I am so excited and I cannot wait to show you guys. Stay tuned.

with love,

Courtney
