I started looking for panels, thanks to sewbizgirl's post: How cute is this panel?
to add to the totes I have been making for Sadie's Dream for a Cure. I found a couple on my bus trip to Kokomo, Indiana, including a panel that makes an open sided tote that houses a fabric "paper" doll and a complete wardrobe. It is called "Dream and a Wish" by Riley Blake Designs. I backed the clothes with Fusible Fleece to "stick" to the doll, which I sandwiched with Peltex and fusible fleece. I faced each half of the tote with fusible fleece and then put Soft and Stable in between both, rather than the recommended Peltex. Here are the totes: [ATTACH=CONFIG]534779[/ATTACH] And the panels: [ATTACH=CONFIG]534780[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]534781[/ATTACH] And the same panel sewbizgirl used: [ATTACH=CONFIG]534782[/ATTACH] and finally all rolled up and secured with velcro ties, along with the race cars and construction vehicles (3 per panel) [ATTACH=CONFIG]534786[/ATTACH] Fabric "paper" doll princess, with wardrobe pocket and bed pocket Dream and a Wish by Riley Blake (open) [ATTACH=CONFIG]534783[/ATTACH] the closed tote [ATTACH=CONFIG]534785[/ATTACH] Hope they supply a bit of joy to the kids who have to undergo treatment for cancer, and give others a few ideas for their charities/families. Thanks again Bonnie for the idea! You fellow quilters are the best. |
These are just awesome! They will surely make a bright spot in the day for the kids who receive them. What a great thing for you to do!
|
all sew cute
|
Wonderful job! These will surely bring some comfort. This is a local charity for me. I've helped cut some of the kits, so if you get one that's wonky, probably my fault...
|
Love the ones with roads on them. They are all great. That's so nice of you.
|
Cute quilts and bags!
|
Oh how cool! i just had to run my "race car cursor" over the tracks!!
|
You are surely an angel on earth to do all this for the children. I love your work!
|
These are great!
|
Those are just darling. I am sure they will brighten the day for some lucky little ones that need a "bright spot". Thank you for sharing.!
|
They sure will brighten the children who get the quilt"s day!!! God bless you!
|
All are really nice. They will love them, and feel special. :)
|

The race car panel can be found here: http://www.ethelbird.com/speedway/speedway-play-panel/
The Tonka roadway can be found here: http://www.ethelbird.com/tonka-road-...work-play-mat/ Also found this cute one: http://www.ethelbird.com/traffic-jam...am-play-panel/ and this one: https://www.fabricsnquilts.com/shop/...ound-up-panel/ I can see this become addicting LOL |
What a caring thoughtful person you are. I am sure they will bring happiness to their recipients.
|
good work.
|
Thanks for all the kind comments. I just wanted to share to give you ideas for your charities/families. If it hadn't been for Bonnie, I wouldn't have thought about doing it. That's what is so nice about this board...........the sharing and caring! Thanks again sewbizgirl.
|
Adorable and so nice the work you are doing.
|
These are great, you have done a really good job. You are a special person for giving of your time and resources to help others. I have been looking for the road panels with farm pictures instead of construction. Have not found any. Quite a few years ago there were some available, but I can't find any now.
|
You did a fantastic job.
|
These are very inspirational to me, thank you for sharing!
|
Terrific - what beautiful and child-useful projects. Someone is going to just love these!
|
Those panels some kid is going to enjoy especially when some vehicles are included. Bags are so cute. Job well done.
|
Everything is so cute! You are sure to put big smiles on some deserving children's faces.
|
WOW! How much fun they will all bring to the lucky recipients.
|
Each project is cuter than the next.
|
You sure will put a smile on many a child's face as they enjoy using your quilts and tote bags. :)
I like the Velcro ties around the quilts. Can you tell me your process for attaching the fabric to the Velcro? That is a neat idea. Thank you! |
Those are neat!!!!The kids will enjoy them.
|
Those are so sweet...and so are you for doing this.... :-)
|
These are just fantastic. You have done an awesome job.
|
they are all great!!!
|
Great job. The kids will love them.
|
Those are all great ideas.
The road ones look like so much fun. I wonder if one could somehow/somewhere put pockets to store/carry the cars around when the road is rolled up. |
