A while back...April to be exact...I attempted my first paper pieced hedgehog (Link to post HERE).
He was adorable and I was inspired to make another one even bigger than the orginal (2 1/2" x 3 1/2"). I did. But let's not stop there! I made an even bigger one for the MQG Fabric Challenge featuring Michael Miller fabric.

| 5 1/2" x 7 1/2" |
After finishing the MQG Fabric Challenge Pillow, I knew I had to finish these guys. Why not a zipper pouch?! I was finally having some luck putting zippers in without having them look like a two-year-old did it, so had to keep the momentum going!
I also had a chance to get some fabric dyeing done too! Britt and I have been trying to use up some dyes so we can make fresh colors. Its been so long and my stash was next to nothing.
I ombre dyed some onesies and wanted to see how a couple would turn out doing Shibori on them. Both worked out great!
I was sure I could use this method and make a heart...worth a try for sure! And it worked! Cute little hearts!

Just a couple finishes I have actually and finally finished!
Shibori~ is a cloth resist-dyeing technique that may include binding, stitching, folding, twisting or clamping. Very labor intensive!
