Pouch Swaperooo

My fabulouos Modern Quilt Guild is at it again!

We are swapping pouches.

I think I may have posted on this earlier, but I finally got motivated

(translation, the swap is just a few days away)

and made the pouch I wanted to swap.

Its called a Humbug bag and so fun to make! The swanky shape is

unusual and fun and I made the whole thing from one square of fabric.

 I just layered two fat quarters together and quilted them

(great practive for my new all over ripple quilting!) together.

The perfect size for taking sewing along in the car.

I had some of my fabric/quilt sandwich left over and couldn't resist

making a matching coin purse using the reverse side.

Oops! The birds are upside down! Oh well.

Cute nevertheless.

So here they are together. My swap partner will be surprised to find

the little coin purse bonus inside the humbug bag.

Hope she likes them both!

I know I have said it before, but I will say it again.. I love my Modern Quilt Guild! Every meeting there is something new and inspirational and fun. So here's the latest.....

We are having another swap, a pouch swap!

The best part is that we can stalk each other on line to see what our swappee (is it really a word, does it really matter?) likes and we can really make our pouches with a real person in mind!

So to help that process along, I decided to see what was out there and give my swapper

 a little peak into my likes.

Funny thing is that it also gives me a chance to see what I like too!

 So here is a mosaic of a few of my favorite things others have posted on line.

I really like the travel bag I guess!

I'm kinda surprised I don't have more blue pouches, but maybe I just didn't see many.
