This weekend I’ve been with quilting friends at a cabin. Only four of us this time, but we had a lot of fun and got a lot of sewing done.
I was working on a new bag (Anni Downs design)
And hand quilting on my snowman quilt.
The rain was pouring down, so it was great having a lot of sewing with me. This time I actually had manage not to bring A LOT of projects.
Only the bag as my sewing machine project. So when I have done all that I could do at the moment (of course I had forgotten to bring the magnetic closure and buttons) I had no more machine sewing to do. And another whole day……. of course I could hand quilt my snowmen, or make some more star blocks. But I started to make a little purse to go with my bag.
I also took time to prep this EPP project. Easy to bring with me.
When I came home today I finished the bag. This is the front
And the back.
And this is the little purse I made. Nice to keep a little handsewing project in my bag.
And here is my new bag and purse. Fun to have something new when going to the big quilt festival at Gardermoen in a few weeks.
Saying for today:
