NCW #2 for my mom with grommets

I made my mom my second NCW. I need to buy some grommets because I want to try attaching the sides that way. I also need to reprint the pattern because I think my pieces are off. 

Pictures below are before the grommets. I aim to go buy some now. 

Update: I finished it up, installed the grommets, and now it's waiting for Scotchguard. :)

The chain is through the grommets there. I have all hardware taped for the spray. 

Oh and I made the wrist strap, too. :)

NCW, Lunar Quarter Moon, and an Ethel

I am currently working on three projects. Well, four if you count the charm pack love notes quilt. 

I started cutting out an Ethel bag by Swoon patterns. It'll be so purdy. I still have the straps, stabilizer, and interfacing to cut. (I don't like cutting)

Then I started an NCW for my mom. I have an idea about using grommets on the sides. 

Finally, I joined a sew along. It's for a bag called the Lunar Quarter Moon. (Smallest of three sizes) I got it through a bag of the month club. It was by Chris W, if I recall correctly. It's probably the most intricate bag I've ever attempted. I've cut out the accent pieces. Next (tonight) will be the main pieces. 

I'll take pictures later. 

Flores Clutch by ithinksew

Well, I got one UFO mostly done. No straps, but those are a quick sew. 

I did a rather nasty job at top stitching. :/ those curves are killer. But this clutch pattern is one of my favorites. 

Okay, so ten minutes later, here it is with the strap. :)

Making Pattern Piece Labels

Tonight I made pattern piece labels. I decided to cut out a bunch of projects because I hate cutting and this will give me some ready to sew goodness. I also worked a bit on my love notes pieces. 

Here's my love notes quilt. 

Left to sew up before cutting:
