Show & Tell - Making Something out of Nothing

By Leonied
Happy February everyone!

Here we are - second month of the year already!  First things first... winner announcement for January's giveaway!

Thank you to everyone who linked up during January.  And thank you to Lisa for kindly donating/sponsoring January!  All names went into a hat bowl and we've drawn a winner...

Congrats Jenny!  As promised, you will get to choose a fat quarter from this gorgeous collection and also receive a meter of pom pom braid.  I will email you shortly to organize everything!
Last year I found some awesome bag handles at Spotlight.  I immediately knew they would be perfect for a bag for Miriam for our Advent Swap.  I had no idea how or what I was going to do...  I like patterns or rules or some sort of guideline... but...

I searched and searched but could not find anything that remotely fit the idea I had in my head... so I made it up...

Handles, hexagons, batting, lining, some hand-quilting to keep the layers together... and a lot of "i hope this works out"...

It looks use-able right?  I was a little surprised and just a teeny bit happy with the result!  I might just try it again sometime : )

Are you a pattern kind of person or do you like to "wing" it?

February's giveaway is this awesome Grace Taylor Paper Pack and Set of Journal Tags.  It's a gorgeous design and fantastic for all kinds of projects: scrapbooking, cardmaking, decorations, paper bunting, etc, etc...

Everyone who links in during the month is in the draw!
Cant wait to see what you've been making and hearing your thoughts on structured or free-spirited creations!
