I majorly stressed over what to make my partner. I changed plans at least 5 times. I finally settled on the Jane Market Bag and decided to just dive in. For her smaller item, I made my partner a set of the mason jar pin cushions, stuffed with scraps from the bag.
I am relieved to be done with my online blind swaps. I’m just too much of a nervous freak to enjoy them–I stress way too much over the projects and waste a lot of time and angst over whether or not my partner will like it!
Kristie at OCD - Linen and scraps? How can you go wrong! Super cute.
Katie - Hi Traci, I really like your blog. I’ve been shamefully lurking for some time. I wanted to let you know that I awarded you a Versatile Blogger award here: http://adelaidelemonade.typepad.com/adelaide-lemonade/2011/02/versatile-blogger-award.html.
Susanne - Everyone loves your stuff!! I can’t imagine someone being unhappy with any of it.
Susanne - hahaha….and if nothing else, my son just said “I like those cute little jars!” You have another fan!!!
Melissa - If your partner doesn’t LOVE that bag, she’s a lunatic! You always make such great stuff. I know where you’re coming from, but I hope you don’t spend too much time beating yourself up about what you’re making…if they don’t like it, that’s their problem! 🙂 You versatile blogger, you!
Brooke - I LOVE this bag and those jar pincushions are adorable – they definitely beat out my scraps in plastic bags. =) And I ditto everything everyone else says. You always make the most amazing things that I don’t know how someone could NOT like what you make. But, I hear you on the secret swaps thing. After I finish up Urban Home Goods and Make Mine Modern, I need a break for a while.
Heather@junevintage - Ooooooohhhhh….I LOVE these! So fabulous, Traci! (and someone would be crazy NOT to love these!)
Susie - You have a great eye for combining mismatched fabrics. Love your tote, I’m sure your partner will, tOO!
Jodi - Not sure what happened to the comment???? I can’t wait to see what you come up with for your quilt. How is Edna? I assume you either got her fixed or you have another machine. Happy quilting and have a great trip!!
Rissa - I love the pin cushion jars especially, they are adorable! I love your sense of colour in all of those <3
