Lots of firsts in this pouch for the #AussieMQGZipperPouchSwap<\/a>. This was a direct partner swap to encourage us to get to know an MQG member from another guild, my allocated partner was\u00a0Amy from Badskirt<\/a>\u00a0who I’m lucky to already know a little, enough to know that I had to make something especially awesome. If you’ve seen any of Amy’s work you’ll understand the weight I felt on my shoulders.<\/p>\n

Below is the sneak peek I shared before posting her pouch.<\/p>\n

\"Aussie<\/p>\n

It was my first time sewing with leather, just like sewing through butter on my Juki! I did learn that the thicker leather would probably be better with rounded corners.<\/p>\n

These little geese measure 1″ across by 1\/2″ tall, I made my own paper piecing pattern for these which will definitely get a workout again soon.<\/p>\n

\"aussie-mqg-zipper-pouch-swap-2\"<\/p>\n

I had to come up with something equally cool for the back so I had a go at some itty bitty quilting to create more mini geese, lucky for me it worked out pretty well (or I would have had to make another panel and think of something else!). May have been a little better with darker thread but I still like it.<\/p>\n

\"aussie-mqg-zipper-pouch-swap-3\"<\/p>\n

I pieced the panels, then layered each one with batting and a cotton back so that I could quilt 1\/2″ straight lines and the FMQ geese. I then added on the leather bottom piece and from there followed my favourite zipper pouch pattern<\/a> by Toni at Make It Perfect. I added a little pocket on the inside for a card or keys or coins but otherwise it’s just a basic quilted zipper pouch.<\/p>\n

\"aussie-mqg-zipper-pouch-swap-5\"<\/p>\n

It was a labour of love but I’m really happy with how this little pouch turned out.<\/p>\n

Here’s the awesome pouch and goodies I received from Amy. The pouch is perfect for holding my C+S hexies and because… cats, especially grey cats.<\/p>\n

Lucky it passed inspection!<\/p>\n

This swap came about from a group of Aussie MQG Leaders talking about ways that we could build community and get to know one another from guilds around the country. We plan to run more Aussie MQG swaps in future as a way of giving our members more benefits and a greater sense of connection with each other, the first swap seems to have been a big hit!<\/p>\n

Only a fortunate few\u00a0of us can make it to QuiltCon and it’s luck of the draw with MQG Fabric Challenges, we hope that through these swaps every Aussie MQG member feels that they have the opportunity to participate in an event beyond their local guild and that over time more connections will be formed to build a strong Aussie Modern Quilting community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
