Cutting it Fine

Hi everyone, Talk about last minute! I have finished my bag with very little time to spare. Fabrics are all Ruenneries by French General for Moda. I've really enjoyed seeing all of the lovely versions of the Red Home bag. Looking forward to the March pincushion now :) Margaret

TimE To SPaRe

It's still February... so I've fulfilled this month's commitment... WooHoo !
I made my "tote" in blue tones... with a dash of red...
The navy fabric has tiny "hearts" on it so I couldn't resist adding it.

Finished the stitchery.

Tonight i finished the stitchery. While watching "Downton Abbey". I've been trying to complete a bock of my Dear Jane each week while Downton is on, but priority to the SAL this week. Going to be a close one again, but I will get there.

Might even cut the fabric tonight!

Not the best photo, but it is the stitchery! I shoud have done satin stitch butbits not my best stitch. And i was stitching at the hospital so forgot about the applique. Duh! These things happen.

Cheers

Marg H
