Lots of rain = lots of stitching!!

I went to a fabulous shop on Friday with my “Friday Ladies”. I could have spent a fortune, but I restrained myself and just bought one thing……. Isn’t it cute …. This will be for when Mum comes to stay, she can have her lunch or brekky on it ….. special :o).

With all the rain we’ve had I’ve been able to get loads of stitching done. I was very pleased with myself for getting Dawn’s Baseco Bag done. You can buy the PDF pattern here, it’s only $4!!!! And all the proceeds are going to a very worthy cause. Check it out :o). As you can see I cheated a little and used a pair of handles that I already had, I think they suit it :o).Cute stitcheries … A lovely big button to finish it off!!I used 17 charm squares for this bag, with a few more bits from my stash … so, lucky me, I qualify for Jenny’s March “Charm Challenge”!!! I’ll be filling this bag with all my stitching goodies to take to my quilting group this morning.

I also got my Sashiko tablerunner finished over the weekend. I’m trying to think of a name for it and as soon as I do there will be a giveaway. Any ideas??Here’s the back … I used a few leftover pieces from my Sashiko bag. Hope you all had a t’riffic weekend!!!
