instant gratification in the form of a rainbow zip pouch

I got into a creative funk this week. I would go into my sewing room and just sit there, not wanting to touch my many works in progress and not feeling inspired to do anything else. I decided it was time to bust out of it, so when Cooper went down for his nap I made myself go downstairs and start sewing.

One of my more favorited mini quilts on flickr is the one that's in my header. I don't sew with batiks anymore, so I thought it would be fun to revisit the rainbow concept with different fabrics. I paired them up with a yummy black and white woven fabric I just received in the mail, which I love! The pouch measures about 10 inches square and will house my Prismacolor markers and a sketchbook.

It feels good to have something completed, even if it's a teeny something. Thank you for all of the feedback on my wall issues in the previous post! I'm going to talk it over with Rob, and if he's game, I think a quilt is in order for over the couch.
