Bags Galore!


 Where to start (sigh) it has been very busy around here the past week or so.... Son No. 2 starting work as casual shop assistant, Son.No 3 Off on camps with the Ventures and becoming patrol leader. Off on another camp this weekend to Crows Nest. Son No. 4 vegging out, not really he was helping plant out the garden. Which all will be revealed in another post.

Making more bags this one is for my youngest sister she love blues.    Trying to get to local sewing groups. Finishing off projects as quickly as possible, so l can start new ones.

Framing up the Kookaburra stitchery well stretched over canvas.  Framing has become to expensive, for every stitchery.  Son No. 3 has promised to make me a rustic frame.

This little oringal plastic bag is for my mother who has been waiting patiently in the wings for a new shopping bag. Recycled handles form another bag which was past repair.  More bags to make for friends to come. This is going to be another year of making bags, quilts and garden

  2. Your bags look great Maddy. I love the one you've made for your Mum. Your kookaburra stitchery looks great. I haven't started mine yet. That might be the next Christmas one when I finish my Tis The Season.

    1. I must admit l have been enjoying doing the stitchery's. Has surprised even myself. Had to try to re-event the wheel with my mother's bag because of the fabrics one-way design. Did come together well.
