It's Friendly Friday again! Today I'm featuring Jan of Sew Surprising. Jan chose not to do an interview but they say a picture is worth a thousand words so lets enjoy a few thousand words. 

Jan made the most awesome house block , I love that it's so modern.. very Frank Lloyd Wright! Such a perfect choice of fabrics. That bricked chimney is wonderful and I would love to have a door that exact shade of red in real life. 

Jan also recently surprised me with this amazing bag too. 

It's a wonderful patchwork of so many fun fabrics, lots with a sewing theme. 


and just look at what it says...


SEW! You can't quite tell from the photos that this bag is BIG. I put a folded queen size quilt in there to make the bag look full, and there was still room for more things! This is going to be my sewing class bag. I'll be able to retire the very unglamourous plastic bag I've been using. I always take a lots of bits and pieces, half my sewing room, but this bag will fit everything! I'll be the sewing belle of the ball wherever I go with this super tote. 
 It even has big beautiful pockets, fully lined with yummy fabrics.


I heart that heart!!

The coolest bag ever!!!! I love it!!!


Here's another fun bag Jan made for her friend who looks after children. 
 How perfectly cute!!

This spiderweb quilt reminds me of Australian opals. 

How fabulous is this scrappy quilt, so many different fabrics to catch your eyes and the grey centers give a sense of uniformity. 

When she's not creating fun bags and groovy quilts Jan's whipping up zillions of bright happy pillowcases for charities. 

Pop over to Sew Surprising to see what else Jan get's up to. She hasn't posted in a while but maybe she will if a few people say hello. 

Have a super fun weekend everyone!
