Ta-Dah!!!

I always wanted to make one of these

as my travel companion 

for the quilty meeting and such.

I added a little extras here and there 

to make my own version as usual.

I also used the crushed walnut shells

instead of the uncooked rice for the filling

of the pincushion.

Although the pattern is very well written
with a lot of good close-up pictures,

after finish making this very first one,

I'm tempted to make another one

with some more of the minor modifications 

and additional personal touch!

One of the things I would like to add 

onto my next one is the iron fusible interfacing

to the body of the scrap bag.

The scrap bag part is detachable.

It looks like very convenient to take along with.

Here is a blue one has been sitting

 by my sewing machine

since I've started quilting!

I purchased that one 

at one of the local quilt shops years ago

and really like it a lot.

But it is a little heavier with the sand 

filled in the pincushion,

and no tool organizer part of it,

I have't taken to anywhere

 outside of my sewing room.

I'm all excited now as I can take this new accessory

to SSQSG meeting on this weekend :)))

You all have a wonderful weekend!
