15% off Deal on Cool Stuff

Remember these:

Those fabulous little zipper pulls on my pouches?   Well, so many of you raved about them that I contacted the supplier of them, and guess what?

She loves you guys as almost as much as I do, and is giving a special 15% discount for anyone who reads my blog!  How cool is that?   The code is :   jabotquilt15

Jennie's etsy store is called Zipit.  And they have any colour and any size of zipper you could imagine and they are the really good quality YKK zippers. 

And this is where you can find the totally cool and funky zipper pulls.   If you are wondering, I bought the pack of 50 Kaleidoscope zipper pulls.   (and I am ordering more stuff too)

It gets even better.    You may say, what would I do with zippers and pulls if I don't know how to make those adorable pouches on Jackie's super fantastic blog?   Well, what if I told you that I was doing up a tutorial as part of my work for the design team?  And it is out of Sugar and Spice  (can buy it here at a super price from my design teammate Julie).    This is the hottest fabric on the market right now.   Might I add, I made one out of this fabric and it is on it's way to Salt Lake City Quilt Market and it looks totally divine!

What are you waiting for?     Go See Jennie and order some zippers and zipper pulls, then go see Julie and order some fabric, then enter my giveaway if you haven't already.

Pouches and Table Runners

 I have been sewing up a storm for the little store that opens up here in our town for the summer.  

I have made some zippered pouches, (like 20 or so, cause I just can't stop) and I know I have already shown you some, but I just had to take pics of these ones as they are so totally scrumptious.   I even ordered cute little pull tabs to put on each pouch.

I also designed some table runners as well.   I am really enjoying working on a cream background, as colours just seem to pop, yet the cream colour still gives it that earthy country feeling. 

Enjoy!
And let me know what you like best.

Giveaway Winner and My New Pouches

I still can hardly believe that in early March when I decided to celebrate my one year of blogging with a challenge of 150 followers, that I actually achieved it.  Thank YOU!  For deciding to follow and for all your lovely comments.  I read each one and as long as there is an email address attached, I try and respond back.  

Without further ado,
The winner for the 5 fat quarters is
'Sallie'
Congratulations!


Now here are my cute little zippered pouches.   I have 9 of these little guys ready to go.   I used to always stay away from zippers, too hard, too time consuming.  Now I am on etsy ordering more zippers, can't use them enough! 

They just make the bag or pouch that much more versatile, useful and practical.  And honestly, zippers are easy.  

These pouches have the PUL lining, (other than the one shown here). 

PUL is a waterproof material that you find on cloth diapers.   But now that people are finding the different uses of this fabric, it is on so much more.   When I make my reusable snack/lunch bags, it is lined with PUL. 

I have made 8 of these zippered pouches with the PUL lining and am going to make some without.   If you were purchasing one, and the price was the same, would you want one with the PUL lining or some cute fabric lining and why?
