Mouthy Stitches Swap!

Mouthy Stitches is a fun flickr group for swapping zippy pouches! We got our secret partners last week and I'm super excited! :) (I love pouches!!) I decided to go ahead and sketch up some ideas so I don't forget and get stuck with nothing. :) Here's what I'm thinking...

"Mushroom Patch"

A flat pouch big enough for some scissors and pens and other supplies. I'm thinking of doing a few little mushrooms in the corner, and some stars coming out at the top. 

Obviously I can't show you my partner's inspiration mosaic that somewhat inspired this, but I sure to hope that she'll like it. :)

I love "having to" come up with something for someone else. It pushes me to be creative and go beyond my normal complacency of just doing whatever I can finish quick. ;) I love it! :)

I couldn't wait

Did you see my post from last night? With my idea for a new quilt inspired by this pattern and Rachel's block? Well, I just had to take a break from cleaning this morning and sketch a little something up. What do you think?

This is of course a VERY rough draft, but you get the basic idea. I think I am in love with it. I'm not sure exactly how I would do the details, like the stems and such, but I think it would be so fun for a little girl. Perhaps my little girl?! (I sure wish I didn't have so many other projects that were first in line....) :)

Oh, and I really love the fabric that Rachel used, so I would definitely go with a softer pallet. Not too bright, with a cream background (not my usual first choice, but I would like it here. ok, maybe white. I don't know).
