I realized it was that time of the year that I should get some things in my Etsy shops re-stocked.  Just to round them out, freshen up and fill them up!

Yes, I do have two shops.  Last year I decided I should split my main shop and keep it cohesive.  It got to the point where I had so much...crap...stuff that all my proudest and best things were getting lost.  It was also a time to revamp pictures, descriptions and well, basically everything!  

I love to make other things besides quilts, but they were out of place in my #1 shop.  One of the things in my Twiggy & Opal Too shop are these crochet roll-ups.  Such a simple and useful little item.  


As I was rummaging through my sewing closet, I found a stack of fabric cut out, interfaced and waiting to be assembled!  Saved me a ton of time!  This was one of those times where I decided it was time to 'get rid' of some fabric that I knew I may never use.


A pile of destashing results.


Fabulous variety of color!


Neatly stacked and ready to list!

I am having a serious debate with myself right now.  I'm not sure I want to keep two shops. Then again, what would I do with all the things I 'have' to make??!

Crochet Roll 'Shards' Update

I think these pictures are much better than the previous post pictures...mostly because I finished the Crochet Roll!

I think it turned out great.  More importantly,  my customer was thrilled!





Sigh of relief!

Linking up at Whoop Whoop and Crazy Mom Quilts!

My WIP of the day!  I have a custom Crochet Roll request.  I love being able to 'do my thing' on these kind of projects.  
Once we figured out the color direction...the rest is up to me!



In this case, teal + coral + gray = possibilities!  Not that that is out of the way, where to start?



Cut, sew, cut...think!  The predominate color is going to be teal.  I pieced a 'loose' version of a chevron.

And the final placement, piecing of the front panel.  

Off to finish the lining and pocket!  I hope to share the finished piece very soon!
