However I have been stitching away at a project and only yesterday got the sewing machine out and finished the sewing on this quilting bag. My large cutting mat will fit nicely inside with two pockets on the front for some rulers. I started it orginally in a workshop.
A close-up of the stitchery on the two pockets. The gorgeous fabric is a 'Vine Creek' Jelly Roll which I was lucky enough to win from the lovely Fiona of Mothers Cupboard back in September 09. I'm very pleased with my new bag.
In between stitching, I've been doing a little knitting with a ball of wool I purchased end July, early August?
Ta-da! The softest most cuddly scarf that I will be able to appreciate next winter now.These two along with my round pincushion make three finishes for August OPAM.
Spring is just around the corner and although I pruned my roses too early, they've made it through the cold and have many buds almost ready to share. Perhaps my hexie garden will have more blooms soon also.
Happy Creating.
I hope all is well with you now. Your bag and scarf turned out wonderful!
