Thanksgiving 2018 Pouches

Another rainy day and I had to take my car into the shop for new tires and some servicing. So I caught a ride home, and hunkered down in my sewing room.

I always love to try new things and I decided to quilt the panels on this set of pouches with straight line stitching using my walking foot. Have I told you how much I love my walking foot?

I wasn’t sure it would work, but I’m really happy with how it turned out. I love it because it feels very ordered and structured, which I just love with the randomness of some of these fabrics. It’s just a combination that works in my brain.

I just love all the hard, straight lines with the bright colors and swirls. So pretty.

This one made from yellows, oranges and reds was the first one I quilted this way. I thought the straight line quilting would work well on this one. Then I decided to give it a try on one of the flying geese panels… and I loved it there too. So I did the same stitching on all four.

I just love the one above with the teal colors and taupe linen. It’s so sharp and classy! Such a great combo.
