Steampunk Challenge

Saw this at BadAss Quilter's Society and got sucked in!

To enter make anything with quilty goodness.  No problem!

 Use every fabric in your project. Um...ok.

 Steampunk it up....metal zippers and real rusty bike gears...check!

Four pockets on one side of lining, zippy pocket with secret pocket on the other side.

Really don't want to cut those zipper ends off....

...ok...so I won't!:)

 This can be totally....

...reversible.

 But why hide all this bike gear fun?:)

Bike gear and felt flower fun!

 Junk in the truck photo shot....very Steampunk!

Loads of pockets...

 ...hooks...

 and loops

Steampunk goodness...I hope!:)

Finish V and Shiny Things!

The girl has struck again.  She sees something beautiful in the most ordinary things.  We walk around our yard and find her wonder all over the place!

Bike gears, cleaned and shiny catching the light to twinkle about!

Who'd thunk it?

Here is finish #5 for this quarter.  A small wall hanging I started a couple years ago and rolled up to be forgotten.  William Morris fabrics and a bit of embroidery.

 Twinkling gears on our blooming arbor.  Everything is so green with all the rains.

Blooms on arbor inspire blooms on mini.

The girl said these are ghost children on the swings...I believe her!

Green has always been a favorite color...I am now adding purple to that list!

This is what I think "thoughts" look like churning in our minds.

This Fall the boy's girlfriend "K" will be a first time math teacher and today is her birthday....new teacher needs a pencil pouch right?  We are very proud of her!

Every arbor needs a star and this arbor has a lot of them....as do we!
