More Bags

Another 2 bags done this week for girls at work. "School bags with class" are my latest specialty!
I did mean to take photos during the day with the "natural" light, but I got side tracked gardening - playing in my vegi patch
When I finished the bags late last night, I was just dying to do something just for fun, so I put together these japanese squares I've had lying about waiting to be sewn - not sure what will become of it next, but I am liking what I see.
Nelly is striking the pose that I was, when I realised the sun had gone down and I hadn't taken those photos!!!
Have a good week everyone


Annie


P.S.

I took some more photos after school and the girls were thrilled with them. The fabric BTW is from the talented Kristen Doran - I LOVE her designs.

    Hi Annie
    Love the bags, and glad you had some quality time in your veggie patch. I Babydoc had a great time in Mildura, which included poker, pizza, and sailing down the Murray. Middleman off to Hotham for a skicamp this week...All sounds like lots of fun!!
    Love B.

    You always do such a beautiful job with my fabrics, thanks for sharing. I have more of the red ladybugs on both fabrics in store now (just haven't listed on my website yet).

    Your bags turned out great!
    But, I really like your japanese blocks... I have tons that I've been waiting to do something with. Now, I guess I found out what I need to do to bring them all together. Beautiful! I love the sashing... it really makes it lovely.
    Keep up the good work!
    So, how does your garden grow?
    I need to get out and weed mine! LoL... it's just been sooo hot, I need to get up earlier and get something done b/4 the heat arrives. Have a fun week.

    What very prectical bags- here in the UK I see so many lovely bags which when you go to look at them you'd hardly fit anything in- those look superb.

    I love your koi fabric. I keep meaning to do a x-stitch of a koi in my spare spare spare time (yep it's got that busy!) as they are such beautiful fish. Love the sashing you chose with the squares.
