One Project A Month - February 2010

It's the end of the month again, well I started off at the beginning of the month making one thing and ended up at the end of the month finishing two other things instead, so at least I know I will have something finished for next month.... The trouble is I've started too many things at once, I've started another shoulder bag from Ikea fabric, another peg bag (more Makower fabric), cut out fabric for two quilts (one is going to be a patchwork from cream and pink floral fabrics and the other is seaside fabrics, pebbles, boats etc I can't wait to finish that one!) and I've still got the lilac heart duvet cover/rag quilt to finish from last year yet! Oh and I've made seven more Morsbags as well this month,which now takes my total to 88!
Shoulder bag no 8 - which I started last year, it's made from cream fabric and some lovely floral fabric, but it's not really turned out how I imagined it would and I've stitched the button loop on the back instead of the front, oops! At least I've managed to stitch the lining in without too many problems, you can't see it very well from these photo's but the lining is a rust colour, the same as the flowers.
Hopefully spring is just around the corner so I've made my second peg-bag of the year. I just had enough left over from my Mum's rag quilt to make a patchwork peg-bag using this lovely garden design fabric from Makower.
I'll be updating my Etsy shop shortly as both items are for sale.

Well done Josie all lovely and 88 Morsbags is just great !! You must make hubby take you to the Tolson Museum, there is some lovely stuff in the rag rug exhibition, there are even some mats like the braided one you made, not as good as yours though obviously !!!!

Tracey - thanks, well the village idiot and his gang of mates were outside shouting at the house again last night bout 7pm.

Twiggy - thank you, I can't belive I've made 88 bags, mind you a long way to go to catch up the top spot, they've made 4000!

Kitty - thanks but I'm sure your book is just as lovely and coming joint winner for your photo's is brilliant!
