I’m A Supreme!

No, not the Diana Ross kind of Supreme but a Supreme Sewer.

Stephanie from Loft Creations designs the most awesome bags.   A while back, Stephanie asked me if I would like to become a member of her Supreme Sewers, a group of bloggers who test her patterns before they are actually offered for sale in her Etsy shop.   Of course I said yes!

Stephanie asked me to test her Prickly Pear design.   I chose to make mine using the Dandelion Girl line of fabrics from Fig Tree Quilts by Moda.

I absolutely ♥ this design.  The pattern instructions and diagrams were well laid out and extremely easy to follow.  It worked  up quickly and I will certainly be making a bunch more to give as gifts for the holiday season coming up.

Now, if only I could sing…

Happy stitching!

Kaaren ♥
