So as you know I moved to Honolulu to finish my bag before the end of the month.......
well slight correction there - bagS.........
What does an idiot do when they are seriously behind the times........they make 2 bags........CRAZY........
Anyway where was I..........Thursday evening I got a call from Jenny.........I was well and truely in the doldrums achieving nothing on all fronts not just sewing........anyway she's a bossy bird - she told me to unruffle my feathers and get stitching.........I had no chance of getting my bag/s done before the end of the month but I was thinking of moving to Honolulu.....she laughed...........it started to shower rain and it made me a bit better so I got to work..............and then we had 40mls over night my spirits were lifted and I spent the day in the chook shed stitching and sewing and I made the deadline just before midnight in Honolulu...........
To make it quicker I did a running stitching around the edge......makes it look a bit lacey I think...........I like it..........a few omissions here and there but it is done............
This bag will be for me (I think).........a mix of randon fabric, French Generals and Anni Downs Christmastime which worked well together........
And because I had heaps of time i cut this one out too...........mainly French Generals...........
The backs...........
So happy they are done.............
Still 9 bags to be done.......guess those girls will be using their one and only pass..............
Ok better get March organised NOW...........
Keep Stitching............

Those fabrics do go well together. I like your lacy looking edging too.
They look great. Love your fabric choices.
Nice chooky
Love your bag(s) you mad woman - talk about putting way too much pressure on yourself. So pleased the rain made you feel better.
yay...you got there! Your bags look great. Nothing like a nice rainy day to get you stitching. Xx
very nice chooky. But am I understanding you correctly? Did you move from Australia to Hawaii? Like I mean did you MOVE as in sell farm, pack up house and move? Or did I miss a few blogs and you are just on vacation and you moved destinations? LOL
The bags are fantastic Chooky. 2 bags you must have got busy. You can smooth those features and sit on the nest until the next SAL is due... I love the lacy effect.
They look really great
