Document Duvet? Check.
January 22nd
Dear Finny,
After a whirlwind weekend of rock climbing, biking and sewing (ha ha, I’m not kidding), guess what? I got the January In Stitches assignment completed. Viola — I present my document duvet and photo file in valentine colors no less. What do you think?
I agree with you — the grommet is not my favorite tool. But, I did figure it out and I am happy to have learned a new technique. I’ve added my photo to the flickr set. {If you are sewing along, feel free to drop yours in the set too.} Let’s pick a winner by January 31st. I’ll send out the prize this month. Deal? This is going to be such a good way to clean out my studio. I’ve got piles of fabric, yarn and ribbon that I’d love to send to a new home.
Now Miss Finny, since I picked this month’s project, it is your turn to pick February’s. I’ll select the theme. Sound good?
XXOO,
Kelli
P.S. Tell that hubby of yours I say hello. Miss you both!

It turned out great! I guess I had better get started on mine.
Didn’t this turn out just lovely? It’s truly gorgeous…
Can’t wait to see what next month’s project is!
Oooh la la! Toile!
Very cute indeed!
I do like the fabric. I think I eyed it at Joann’s and resisted!
I love your projects, Kelli! They are ever so lovely. This stich-along has been so much fun; I would love to play again next month.
Now that I’ve learned how to use the grommet tool (yes, it was a challenge), I’ve been grommeting everything in sight. I’m now making travel shoe bags and using grommets. I’ll have to photograph those and post them to my Flickr account. In the meantime, I did post a new project photographed in Tucson’s amazing snow adventure from last night. Did it snow where you are, too? It’s a flabbergasting event for Tucson.
Wow! It looks fab! Of course I can’t follow directions so I’m working on a different doc file closure – because I’m not buying one more new thing – this week.
Cheers!
Great fabric choice!! I love the toile[?] with the red. So pretty!!!
these are both gorgeous! i need to get on the ball…
very nice! love the fabrics.
ok, i’m not a fan of toile, but this looks fantastic. love the colors you chose! nice work.
These look great!
I wish I could be so crafty! Those are VERY nice!
I like it! I need to start working on mine.
Very nice!! I love the toile and the red together. Mine are almost completed – I made two matching document duvets – one to keep and one for the gift stash – but darn it to hell if I can’t find my grommets and setter. The spot where they are supposed to be is mysteriously empty. SO I will dummy them up for their photo shoot and then continue on my search for the missing tool:):)
Those look beautiful! So chic! Well done you
I didn’t participate in this one. I don’t have the book, but maybe I should get it?? Hmm. You two are temptresses! (accomplished ones, but nonetheless temptresses!)
oh how nice it turned out.
i will have to look at all the lovely projects through blogs, since i cannot do any crafts for now. i do miss it.
Kelli,
I am so glad I came here, I got the book for Christmas but I have been lazy about starting anything. This is just the boost I need. I am rushing home after work to look up the directions. I have plenty of fabric in the stash, but no grommet maker. I am going to have to wait for a 40% off coupon. Hopefully, I can finish by the end of the month, only 8 days to go.
Thanks,
Jan
Oooh I like your fabric. I am almost done mine – I just need to dig out some ribbon. Yours looks a little more polished than mine.
Gorgeous, love the colour-combo!
they turned out lovely! especially like the red and b/w contrast. pretty.
