Big Bag Love!!

Madeline is finally ready to make her debut......

I can't wait to hit the streets with her....

Even my mum has fallen for her and believe me she is a tough judge.....

If you're looking for a bag to make up in a weekend..... a day if you don't mess about like me..... then this is the bag for you.   It's a dream to sew.   No swearing... grinding of teeth... hair pulling or resorting to strong drink involved.   I didn't get a photo of the great zippered pocket inside.... but trust me....it is there. 

I like it so much..... I reckon I'll make another one.    After I've made Libby that is.  Looks like two bags are going to Birmingham Quilt Festival with me this year. 

I've just committed to finishing this too.....

 Nicky over at Farm Girl Stitching  blogged about wanting to finish her Butterfly Garden BOM and of course I opened my big mouth happliy agreed to join her and finish mine too.     The photo is of my progress on Block 8.... only one more block and the quilting to do after this.  Not much if you say it fast.  You can see how it looks so far here.

Now.... because I'm closer to the end than the start of BG I decided to make a start on this once I finish.....

Yep.... another BIG project that's been on my 'to do' list for way too long.   I'm so late in starting I missed the Stitch-a-long for this quilt.   I'm not buying more fabric.  I'm sure I can find something in my stash to use..... makes room for more... right!

Mac found his old police whistle yesterday.... takes me back to watching  'Dixon of Dock Green' when I was a kid.  Anyhow.... he gave a little whistle in my craft room.....

and Licky Lou gave him a look that says..... PEST!!

Till next time.....
