Zippered Pouch to Swap

This month, the Maritime Modern Quilt Guild is doing a zippered pouch exchange with the Modern Quilt Guild Victoria.  I am excited for two reasons.  First, I have just made my first pouch just a couple months ago and it's just the kind of quick project that I can fit in my busy schedule, but is still satisfying.  Second, I met some of MQG Victoria's wonderful members just a few weeks ago, and I am so glad our two guilds are working together.

Here is my finished pouch:


The aqua and green chevron print was my colour inspiration

We are to fill our pouches with some goodies.  Without revealing its entire contents, here are a couple things I made.  First, a first needle book...



I really have to make one for myself...

... then, a pretty lanyard.  If you are looking to pretty up those ugly promotional lanyards you have collected at various conferences, here's how to do it.

So glad I could find those green scissors.

I am happy with my decision to go "matchy" with the accessory.  I hope whoever gets my pouch likes it.  I had lots of fun making it.
