They've Landed

Just a quick post today, (Is that possible?). As 2 of the PIF gifts have reached their destination I thought I'd share with you exactly what I sent out.



I'm a great believer in that you can never have too many bags, whether they are fashion bags or stitching bags. So I decided on a stitching bag for threads and things. Two were done in blue and one in purple. They were quick to stitch up, would have been even quicker if I didn't have a move in between it all.

I've managed to get the first of the new Red Work blocks finished, just need to rinse the blue pen from it and trim it up to size. Photo's later. Last night I dragged out the Crab Apple Hill blocks out and realised I only have three left to stitch, so I'm going to focus on those this week and see if I can get that one finished.

Bren mentioned the other day about which project she was going to work on, and in that she mentioned the quilt for an hour quilt that we both started in August...oops... I'd forgotten about that. So Saturday I pulled it out to see what's left to do... Not a lot, so stitched a few more blocks. Think I'll toddle into the sewing room and see if I can get all the blocks ready to put together in the layout.

Happy Stitching.

Lucky ladies getting these bags. They are so cute.

Libby said...

Cute little bags . . . I'm sure they will be loved.

Lindah said...

Linda, you are something else! I have to hand it to you. How you can move household, thoroughly cleaning both houses, get unpacked and settled and be doing beautiful needlework and quilting--all within a very short time--is impressive.

Those are lovely bags. Sure to be treasured.

blessings,
Linda H

Oooh the bags are so lovely. I adore bags of every shape and size.
The PIF recipients must be over the moon.
Did you put wadding in these? I'm just about to attempt a drawstring bag.
Yes, yes - finish the Winter Wonderland. I love that design and can't wait to see it finished.
Looking forward to pictures!

The hand stitchery element that you add gives your bags pizazz! Your blog is also very welcoming...a cozy place to visit. Thanks for taking time to share.

Great bags! I'm sure the recipients will love them! I'm a 'bag lady' myself - love bags! I have my light box and blue pen - hope to have some time to play with them this week but I'm a little behind after spending all weekend visiting (it was worth it!)

It looks like we get to see one or two tops done soon as you are working on the quilt for an hour and the Crab Apple Hill.
