BAGS OF STUFF

Lots of things to show you, my own private Showtime as it were...

I start off with a lovely 'Lets go fly a kite' card from Shellie S
Fabricards swap group, thanks Shellie, love it...

These were made for the 'CIRCLES' swap on Fabricards, BUT;
oops, I have only used one fabric on these so they are not usable,
back to the drawing board...

Close up the blue one, this was on a felt'y sort of wash cloth I bought
from Poundland, very pleased with the result...

Mini daffodils coming up in my garden...

Last tree; Going..................Shredding............................Gone

Bought these little beauties in Poundland...

Waiting to be quilted... 1 - 2 - 3 ...

4 - 5 ...

6 - 7 - 8 ...

This is the Quilt I made with my Batik swap fabrics on Popular Patchwork Forum,
waiting to be quilted;
- 9 ...

This is to show you how I take my photos, so I hopefully!!
get them square on...

Here is the result of the Wonky Stars,
this will be winging it's way to Australia very soon...

Here is a block Annette has made for the BFQ Appeal...

She has made FIVE, so they will go with the quilt from the Macs...

We did a Charm Square swap on the Popular Patchwork Forum,
I received PINK, so decided I would make more Wonky Star
blocks with them, first I cut them all to 4 1/2", they were 5"
Then I managed to make these 5 blocks...

I joined them all together, to make this little Quilt, which will be sent to my
lovely Forum friend Tessa, for her to finish off as a Linus Quilt,
that kind of balances things out, one for Australia and one for us...

After I had trimmed all the 5" squares to the smaller size,
I was left with lots of bits of fabric,
as I hate waste,
I got out my Postcard vylene and pressed all the bits on,
I am actually quite pleased with the results I got, these are now ready
as base's for cards I will make in the future.
Just look how many I managed to prep...
The PINK offcuts...

The white offcuts...

Ohhh!
They have given me an idea; this is the waste bin I place all my bits in
and when it is full I take them over to the school...
I can see lots of good bits for prepping cards in there...
No, they will go to the school...

Lots of lovely bags,
the black one I made to go with my outfit I wore to Suzanne's wedding,
I had a green trouser suit with black accessories,
the flower is the same fabric I used for all the favours I made for her guests..
The Log Cabin bag is one I saw in a tiny advert in a magazine many years ago,
I drafted it out and gave it to Suzanne, it has found it's way back to me now though..
The small beaded bag is my first attempt at beading...

Annette made these two for me,
can you tell I love purple,
hopefully
you will click on them to see the beautiful bead trim...

This is a bag the school had made for all the children,
they got them to draw their faces
then it got printed onto the calico,
can you see Rebecca...

Mmm, this beauty is a one off,
yes I know I have already put it on here before,
but feelit is worth another look.
My friend Sheila gave this to me,
it is made of Leather and Suede completely,
it is just gorgeous,
I made a journal page of this bag as I loved itso much,
thank you Sheila...

There we are my Showtime ends, I hope you have enjoyed it.
