Bags

I've already written about the the Crab & Winkle sewing day last week but didn't post a photo of the baby quilt Marion showed us which she and her daughter made for a friend of Sally's.Very bright and colourful. Meanwhile I have finished my black and white bag made from a lovely and staightforward pattern by Sally Ablett in Popular Patchwork. It's quilt as you go so no linings to wrestle with and the gusset is tidy too as a square is cut out of the bottom. My bagmaking to date has not been very impressive and I think these two are a big improvement - intended for the Oast Showcase next year either on sales table or for a bag tombola. Encouraged I plan to work through some more patterns especially as I keep buying them
