March Finishes

After a very slack (well busy) February I have finally managed to get some stitching done.

This is a bag which I started about two years ago. I had done most of the stitching (all but three words) and once I had finished that the bag came together very quickly. Isn't it funny how we put off doing things that actually take us no time at all to finish.

Next weekend I am off on a quilting weekend which I attend twice a year. We are all required to take a goody bag which is put into a draw. It does not necessarily have to be a sewn bag, just a bag full of goodies including a fat quarter.
The first time we did this swap I made a bag (I think I was the only one) but each time since people have come up with all sorts of different ideas using bags, baskets - anything is possible. It is lots of fun. This time I decided to make a mug bag in some gorgeous purple and white fabric that I purchased from Kerry at Cottage on the Hill. I have kept up the purple theme with a purple mug, purple tea bags and coffee sachets, chocies wrapped in purple wrappers and of course a purple fat quarter. The other mug bag I have made for my Mum for mothers day - I just need to find the perfect mug to go in it.

Cheers
