May bag finish

Hi ladies, I am so happy to have finished my bag today, I decided to save some time this(last) month and opted out of the stitchery.


I covered a little button for the back in the bag fabric.

It's been lovely to see the variety of bags finished for May, happy stitching for June everyone.

Long Time.... SKoW

I finally can post some progress on last years SAL , Some Kind of Wonderful. 

I had full intention of keeping up even though I got excepted a little later than others and it shouldn't of  made a difference. And then my daughters who was having twins developed complications and I ended up away from home a good deal this past year.
 But Yeppie I have something to show. 


The boys are doing great and I'm back in the swing of things. Have 3 rows to go and I hope to show more soon.
Until then

Nearly there...


I have progressed with my SKOW quilt. Today is the last day and I have done the jeans.
 I am part way to finishing the piecing between the blocks.
 And here is the suitcase. I left the places as they were as I have been to all of them fairly recently.
I hope to do a bit more work this afternoon and start cutting the border pieces. I hope everyone has a fun New Year even if it is just at home stitching.
