Sewing with a side of Quilting

For the last two weeks I have been sewing for summer and love it.  My quilt is currently on hold while I wait for thread to arrive from Superior Threads, Kimono Silk a new favorite.  I thought I wanted to go thicker and ordered Aurifil from Hawthorne Threads but decided after it arrived I wanted thinner.  

In the meantime I am getting ready for a vacation and summer time, I"ve had enough of winter thank you. 

Here are a few items I made this week, I titled this post sewing with a side of quilting because it seems that my quilting is sneaking into my clothing. 

A Top 

A new sundress 

Shirt to go over my white tank top 

and another tote, I like them for summer and I had all these fabrics.  Each time I make one I add a little something.

This one has 3 outside pockets, inside zipper pocket, and a clip.  After reading my daughters blog Wilde in the City current obsessions - travel ideas after she had to fly to Singapore for work I added a separating zipper. I will be taking it on the plane and don't want spillage.  (as she put it things tend to scatter)

I have a couple more things to make, no hurry summer doesn't seem to be coming anytime soon.
