Jenny's July Done



 The bunch of fat quarters I used was given to me by a good friend for Christmas...Thanks Kerry H .
I made the bag in the chook shed with Chookyblue..what fun. Instead of a stitchery I fussy cut some of the design from the fabric and used the raw edge appliqué technique. I also made my bag slightly larger than the pattern.
