Doll Quilt Swap - June 2015

Now that I no longer have to travel for work, I opted back in on the Doll Quilt Swap for June. This month's theme was "Patriotic". I own a quilt pattern by This & That called Sideways & Byways .

Three custom ordered totes for tote bags shipped this week. These are made from my pattern and feature four exterior pockets, two interior pockets and a canvas/duck cloth bottom for durability.  Horse Totes Dogs

One thing you should notice immediately is that it no longer shows blogspot.com in the website address. Yes, I have registered sallysaidsew.com! I have to start somewhere. I will be debuting a storefront, either through Etsy, Facebook or some other format, to sell the things I make in the coming weeks and months. I have a fab
