This bag measures 5″ x 9½” … a request from my daughter.
It was from the fabric that my daughter choose when we were in Africa. See the middle fabric on the bottom?
What’s a DrEAMi you ask?
It’s a DRop Everything And Make It. Sew … I took a few hours, and made this little gem above.
What’s a Squirrel?
I discussed Squirrels in THIS POST. “A squirrel is a sudden distraction that pulls us away from projects already underway.” Definition is from Quilt Diva Julie’s blog.

Speaking of DrEAMIs and Squirrels …
I was over at a friend’s home today and we made this sweet little zipper pouch on her embroidery machine. It’s a free pattern by Kreative Kiwi. Isn’t it cute? Now, I know you’re asking if I will be making one? … ummm, we’ll see.
I was Featured!
On Wednesday Wait Loss with these zipper pouches.

I have the embroidery file for that monogram pouch. I just haven’t made one yet. I also saw your feature with the Seminole piecing pouches and decided to order a book on Seminole piecing. i have done it once, but I had a borrowed book. Once I start looking at the book, I am sure it will all come back to me. Ha ha.

Hi Gene,
The little pouch is small … about 3 1/2″ big … big enough for ??? earbuds, a few coins ??? The pattern I used for my Seminole quilt is this one. There were pieces left-over that I used to make the pouches. http://www.thequiltercommunity.com/Wc3ca89d99a1e7.htm
Happy Quilting! 🙂

Well, if that isn’t the cutest little squirrel that dropped in to play at your quilt studio! Nicely done! I’ve been sewing this week, but everything I’m doing can’t be shown yet. I do have a squirrel hovering though, so we’ll see what happens this weekend!

Good luck with that squirrel!

Hi Gail! Lots of goodness in this post. I just adore the pouch and especially how it features the fabric from Africa. And your second sweet little red pouch is so cute, too. I wonder what that one will be used for?! Thanks for hosting TGIFF! I’m off to check out Gretchen’s post . . . ~smile~ Roseanne

Hi Roseanne,
I’m not sure what the little pouch will be used for! However, I’m sure it will find a practical use!
It’s fun to host TGIFF! It’s a great way to meet “new” to me quilters and to say “hi” to quilting friends!
Happy Quilting! 🙂
