First up I finished this candle mat...
Christmas Candle Mat
Next, I stitched up this clever little collapsible Goin' Sewin' Tote...

Twist

I love this little tote. It would be perfect to take to a quilt class or cross stitch retreat to collect all of your threads. You use a wooden ring and a piece of fabric to construct this, that's it! You can make it any size that you want, it just depends on the size of the wooden hoop used.
I also completed this Notepad holder
Just a Note
Inside
As well as a fun Tote Bag...
The Carry Me Bag was not from my stash but rather a new purchase that I just couldn't resist. I wanted something that would fit my long knitting needles. Unfortunately, I was not impressed with the instructions for constructing this tote bag. I have been crafting for a number of years and know that this could have been done better.
All of this crafting and I did not even put a dent in my pattern stash!
I received a very wonderful RAK from my dear friend Carol S. She knows me well, she sent me a gift card to Dunkin Donuts. Yahoo: Coffee, Coffee, Coffee!
My DH and I have been taking a daily 7 mile walk. Yesterday we detoured off of our regular route to make a stop at DD where we each enjoyed a Pumpkin Latte. I usually refrain from indulging in this type of drink but it was calling my name. Next time I will stick to a flavored cup of hot coffee...maybe.
Carol, thank you again for this unexpected surprise. You are too sweet!
I am off to the Country Living Fair in Columbus, Ohio. I saw an ad for this event in a magazine and decided that I needed to take a road trip...a 12 hour road trip.
Thanks for stopping by ~ Have a great day.
Until next time...

What a wonderful assortment of fabric projects you have created, Marie! Do you have more information (directions or pattern) for the collapsible tote?

Great projects, I particularly like the travelling ORT tote.
I love all of your projects, you are so busy! The little bucket is really cool, I like that one :)
Three hours more and you could see me :)
Love ALL of your crafting!
Cute projects!!! I would love to learn to sew, or sew again. I used to (not well) when I was younger. I always see such lovely projects - like yours, and wish I could do them again.
And next time you go to Dunkin Donuts, try the blueberry coffee. It's my favorite!
Yes please ort pattern just love it!
Wonderful projects, Marie! I'm sure that's just a little dent in your stash.
Have fun at the CL Fair!
Oh Marie, all these projects that you finished are so great. I love each and every one of them.
And I know what you mean when you speak about this kind of stash. Lately I opened a long forgotten box and what did I find? Kits for quilted pillows, bags and similar things that I once bought at a craft fair - and then forgot about them. Hmmm, I will have to empty the box by finally starting (and finishing) all these things.
I love that little twist tote!
YOU really AWE me...your stitching is very lovely..
