Red White and Blue - Project Quilting challenge 10.2

Our second challenge for the 2019 season of Project Quilting was a color theme.  Create something using the colors red, white and blue.  Any tints or shades were allowed and we didn't have to use all three colors, but we could not add any additional colors.

There have been several reasons I haven't been able to do much sewing or quilting recently, and one of those reasons is I've been nursing a shoulder injury that is taking a long time to heal.  I've been seeing a wonderful physical therapist who has been patiently guiding me though shoulder rehab and I had planned to make her a thank you gift once I was recovered enough to at least be able to do some simple sewing projects.  So I took this challenge opportunity to follow through on that plan.

This cute little Ruffled Zip Pouch with a vinyl/fabric lining is the result.

Hope Springs Eternal - Project Quilting challenge 10.1

Season 10 of project quilting started this week with a first challenge theme of "Hope Springs Eternal".  Which instantly brought this scene to mind. 

My mom, who lives with us, will conveniently forget that we don't feed the dog "people food".  So Gracie spends a lot of her time staring up at Mom in hopeful anticipation.  Which frequently leads to me or my husband saying "Hope Springs Eternal." 

Time constraints kept me from being able to get too ambitious with this challenge, but I did manage a cute little coaster.  :-)  I'm calling it 

Please Oh Please Oh Please!
