Making Bags.

I have made this bag a few times before but this is my one to keep. The pattern is in one of the Aussie Mag called Patchwork and Stitching. The bag is very easy to make with 22 charm squares. I have made this bag with 5" squares but any size is OK. Last year for our Craft group stall at the Church Fete I made 4 1/2" square bags and one little one with 2 1/2" squares.

The photo of the three bags are some of the bags I made last year for the stall including the little Perfect Patches bag.

Long Weekend

This long weekend I have been busy making Postcards and OTC's for swaps that I am in on my internet groups. The three sets are going to Diana in NZ for her NO theme swap and the other cards are for my overseas group. These cards will be posted later. The Cards that are in the following photo's were for swaps in August/September.

60's Fabric Postcard.

This very 60's fabric postcard arrived in my mailbox today from Lily in the USA.

I am having fun doing these 1 to 1 postcard swaps.

Beautiful FQ's.

These are the lovely FQ's I brought from a stall today at Wenty's Quilters Show. They are just lovely and what great PC's and OTC's they could make but the Batiks will have to join the others in my stash. I have this problem that I only see blues and purples when I buy. I will have to learn to get out of my safety zone and add more colours. The Quilts were lovely and very pretty with lots to look at.

Well done Wentworth Quilters.

Silly me forgot my camera.

These eight glorious Fabric ATC's arrived in my mailbox on Monday from a swap that I did with Ladies on one of my Aussie groups.

Reef 1 is from Jenni.

Black with gold thread is from Jane.

Cyclamen Orchid is from Diana.

First FPC.

Today I received my first ever Fabric Postcard.

This lovely Oriental FPC was made by Ann. A lady that I swapped with on 1 on 1 exchange on one of my internet groups.
