A new project
I keep telling myself not to start on any more projects until I finish my current ones but I have no will power. When I saw a similar bag at the Essendon Quilters show I had to track down the pattern, and hooray it was an e-pattern so I got it straight away.
It's a Brigitte Giblin design and I'm in love with every pattern on her blog. My purse is going to be my Thursday night NOTYQ project. There is a lot of laughing, sweetie eating and talking at NOTY so I'm not sure how long it will take to complete my purse.
Here's the small amount I've made so far. I'm using a charm pack of 30's era reproductions I bought from Jane's wonderful shop, Want it, Need it, Quilt. They are 1/2" hexies and a lot of fun to make.
FABULOUS FREE STUFF
As soon as I saw these I thought of lovely Amanda at Krafty Panda. But I bet heaps of others love them too.
Would be lots of fun to make with kids. They are a good thing so they are over at Martha Stewart.com
Ohhh what a gorgeous bag and perfect for people with EPP addiction. Perfect choice in fabric too...
