WIP: Crayon Roll Bonanza

It's been a productive week for me.   I've completed the crayon rolls I was working on last week.  I ended up finishing 27 crayon rolls.  There is a wide range of fabrics used to make them.  They include themed fabric such as:  ice cream cones, instruments, Berstein Bears, Teal balis, horse batik, hearts, surfing crocodiles, sea turtles, butterflies, monkeys, berries, spring umbrellas, polka dots on a black background, Teal dragonflies, and Thomas Train. 

I tried something new during this crayon roll bonanza.  I tried adding an elastic "tie" that can hold the crayons.  It works so well!  I wish now that I had added it to all of them.  Ahhh... hindsight.  I gave my youngest daughter an instrument crayon roll with an elastic tie.  She loves it.  Of course, she should because picked out the fabric.  :0 

 Each crayon roll has eight 1.5" pockets.   They can hold 3 crayons each, or one giant crayon or fat markers.  My daughters like the markers best and so these wide pockets work well for them.

These crayon rolls are available locally--in Fairbanks-- at the Blueberry Baby. They are also carrying several of my schlep bags.  I love that store!  The crayon rolls are also available in my Etsy shop.


Next  I've got to work on some spring wall hangings for an upcoming spring event I have in May, called "First Friday" where an artist is featured at a local establishment.   I will be at the River City Cafe & Espresso downtown.

Yesterday I embroidered the center for 2 new Cherry Blossom wall hanging quilts I want to finish for the May First Friday event. 

I will make one look similar to this custom quilt. 
Although I don't think that I should ever make exactly the same thing as something I did custom.  Obviously, the new ones won't be personalized nor will they have the butterfly.

I still like the brown and pink combo.  So, we'll see what I can do with that.  I think the second one will be a brown and blue combination.  I still haven't decided on the pattern yet.  Tomorrow will be soon enough.  :)





I guess I always have a few things going on at once.  Are you that way?  I used to only ever have one thing started.  But, now I hop around doing different things.  I love creating through sewing!
