A DrEAMI for Friday’s Finish!

/ quiltinggail

Just in case you’re not aware, a DrEAMI stands for “Drop Everything And Make It.” And I did. I put all the things I was working on aside and made this cute “Call Me” pouch. It’s a free pattern byAnnie and is super easy to make!

Our grand-dog is here and we go for daily walks. It’s too warm to wear a jacket and I HATE carrying my phone in my jeans … so I made this! I tried it out this morning and it’s perfect!!!

Island Batik fabrics were used: Nautilus Floral Baja, from the Mystery collection and Cherio – Bermuda from basics. Quilted and pieced with Aurifil Thread. The Annie’s Soft & Stable, mesh, vinyl and fold-over elastic were left-overs from a previous by Annie bag.

At the end of the month, Sandra, from MMM Quilts holds a link party for DrEAMIs. Since it’s the beginning of the month, I’ll have to wait until the end to link up!

A Mistake

When I finished my pouch, I went back to working on a few works in progress. There are 2 mistakes in this Splendor quilt … can you find them?? Time to get the seam ripper out! And then give this one a good press!

Happy Quilting!

  4. Hi Gail, that’s a great finish. I’ve been wanting to make a project by Annie. My granddog is visiting also – but I never bring my phone, just a pop bag 🙂
    I found your mistakes, but just because I was looking carefully. I believe that Sandra isn’t hosting DrEAMi for July and August – you may have to post in September. Thanks for linking up to Free Motion Mavericks.

    • Thanks, Andrée! Well, If Sandra’s not posting DrEAMi for the summer, I can live with that! She deserves a break!!
      The byAnnie bag is pretty easy! IF you follow directions AND she has free videos to assist you along the way! It’s a great first byAnnie project! Give it a try!
      Thanks for hosting Free Motion Mavericks!

  7. I haven’t made the Call Me pouch yet, but I’m sure I will. It looks like such a useful bag to have, I can foresee making a bunch of them for Christmas gifts.

    Sorry about the errors in the quilt. I always hate when I find errors that have to be ripped out. It’s especially painful once the whole top is together. Better than after it’s quilted though. 🙂

    • I’m LOVING my Call Me pouch! It’s perfect for short walks! Yes, some for gifts would be a good idea!!! Oh dear! I don’t need more good ideas!!! LOL!!!
      Yes, I’d rather find errors early … it’ll be an easy fix – once I get around to it! 🙂

  8. I’m making a CallMe right now. My husband wanted a second one to be a little customized. I’ve got it up to the binding stage right now. Good to find the items to change before goin any further. Good luck!

    • Yes, I’m thankful I caught it now! I once was hand quilting a queen sized quilt … from the edges into the middle and discovered a mistake close to the centre. After my tears dried, I carefully took out the mistake, turned it the correct way and very slowly, with tiny stitches, whip stitched it into position. Later, when the quilting was complete, I couldn’t find it!! I was a happy camper!!
      Thank you for hosting Wednesday Wait Loss!

  12. I have the pattern for the Call Me pouch, but haven’t made it yet. I might have to make one for my daily walks – thanks for reminding me! Bummer about those two mistakes – ripping is no fun!
