WIP - tote bag
Am working on this tote bag (having finally given up on finding the exact ribbons I needed, and so have hand stitched onto the ribbons after machine sewing them onto the panels).

Watch this space! I hope to have this bag finished by Sunday!

Happy Weekender quilt
Will be a gift for someone (but again, I can't say who just now)...
Was a Moda Bakeshop pattern by Kim Niedzwiecki called Happy Weekender because it can be done in a weekend (depending how long you take deciding where to 'randomly' place the centre blocks!)
I used three charm packs of Moda Full Circle by Kathy Schmitz that I bought on special from ThumperCat Quilt Shop in Arrowtown, and the plain cream is from Kits'n'Things in Invercargill. I decided to create a symmetrical rather than random pattern with the squares.
Was my project while Kieran and Bri were away fishing in TeAnau...bliss for all involved - certainly a happy weekend! (though the score I think was quilts: 1, fish: 0.)
Now just need to get a backing (am thinking of getting a flannel) and get it quilted.

And very excited this week to receive a thank you card from a Southland mum who's prem baby in the Dunedin NICU unit received one of the baby quilts I made last year for that purpose.
And also this week, from the Fat Quarter Shop in the USA, I received my order of yardage of Amelia's Flowers polka dot fabric so I can finally make my own version of Hot Cross Buns (as in the Moda Bakeshop pattern) using the layer cake I have of the fabric (I used a charm pack to make my Flowers for Anna quilt)!! Can't wait!
