Back in July I posted my June Foundation Paper Piecing that I got from Shabby Fabrics, which is a monthly series that they carry. Each month they release a brand-new wall hanging kit that finishes to 12" x 12". I've been skipping some months as I don't either don't like them or they just didn't have the look I was looking for.

This one is for September and features a house in deep red colors that I found very striking.  You can watch a video of how to put this together from Jen herself on the Shabby Fabrics YouTube channel.

The kit includes all the fabrics to make the Wall Hanging, including border, binding and backing! Also included is the paper piecing patterns printed on foundation paper, stickers to label your fabrics and help with organizing as well as an extra set of paper piecing patterns and stickers.

I purchased the panel to make the Lori Holt project bags a long time ago and it was just one of those "projects" that kept getting pushed to the side and pushed to the side until finally I decided to finish these things up this week. One reason I kept putting it off is because I couldn't figure out how to make them with a lining and not see the seams on the inside. Lucky for me I finally found a video to help me out and I give these a try again and am so glad I did. They all turned out so much better than I expected.

I completed seven different bags, 3 small ones and 4 larger. I have 3 pics of each showing the front, the back and the inside.

I recently came across a post on Instagram by The Quilt Shop that had turned the Lori Holt Stitch Card Set P into a beautiful pillow. The stitch card sets come in a group of 4 patterns, but the pillow was designed to have 5 cross stitch designs, so I used one of the blocks from the Stitchy Stars Pattern (also by Lori Holt) to complete the look.

I chose to use my Flea Market scraps left over from a quilt I made for my mom a couple years back to complete the pillow and use for the back side of the pillow as well.

Once complete, I inserted a 16" pillow form and added the pillow to the daybed I have in my office so I can admire it on a daily basis.
