So, when I went to the store to get a pattern for an outfit for my upcoming nephew, I may have gotten distracted...
I make things -- books, knitted items, crocheted angels, and anything else I can find to make. Here I will write about my adventures in creating.

Windy Days Done!
The corners are from the same yellow as the back; not sure about binding yet, but may just turn the back forward...might make an interesting effect with the matching corners? But quilting comes first - haven't decided about that yet either (style or color)!

No corners
I have finished all the pieces for the windy days quilt...almost. Do you see something missing? Yup, I ran out of the navy background fabric. I have enough two-inch scraps that I could probably make some pieced corners...and would certainly have had enough fabric if not for the large amount of trimming in the smaller pinwheels (my fault for not doing the math myself). Well, I have a bright yellow for the backing, so I can either cut four squares from that or add material from the large green pinwheels (the only addition I had to make to the charm pack I won). Stay tuned for future developments!
Camera bag
Goodness! As far as I can tell, there are no tutorials for making a camera bag for a compact mirrorless camera. Lots for a giant camera like my husband has, and lots for a padded pouch for the phone-shaped little cameras, but none for mine, small but with a protruding lens, as seen below. Looks like I'll have to make one myself - and try to get my act together to make a tutorial!

Bias?
The instructions suggest this method, which I've seen before - intriguing and easy, but I'm a bit wary of the bias edges coming my way!
Windy days
Finally getting started on my windy days quilt! Decided a little boy needs a dark background on his quilt rather than white, so have just cut navy squares - pinwheels coming up!
