Had the house to myself for the afternoon so was able to get my machine out and crack on with a couple of projects. First up, this
became this
Just need to look out a button. Having everything cut out and ready to go made this a quick project. Would have been even quicker but I decided to quilt my bag to give it more stability. This is going to be a little gift bag.
Next up my RSC project. I crossed my fingers and ordered some fabric online to make setting squares for my hearts. Very happy with the fabric that arrived and I started sewing the blocks together after I had finished the bag.
Much happier with how this is looking now. All the bits are cut so next time I get the machine out I should get this all together very quickly.
Thought I would crack on with my knitting while the rugby was on in the evening - sock no 2 is on the home run
but I soon got bored with the rugby and my book was calling so that was it for me.
Many thanks Wendy for hosting us all again.
Luv the bag! Your RSC quit is looking great! It's going to be beautiful! I can't believe I'll have mine finished by the end of the year,last year's needs major redoing lol
ReplyDeleteI love your little bag. The colours are awesome! Love your hearts and looking forward to seeing more of this one. I love reading too. What are you reading at the moment? ;^)

ReplyDeleteCute little bag. It is amazing how much we can achieve without any interruptions.
ReplyDeleteGreat little bag Lin, so cheerful and I love how the hearts are coming together - it can be a bit tricky when ordering on line..... lots of sport on TV at the moment - your knitting is looking great - love the pattern the yarn makes

Cute bag. Love those socks too. Your RSC quilt is coming along very nicely.
ReplyDeleteBellissimi lavori, sei molto brava. Ti seguiro' volentieri.
ReplyDeleteThat little bag has all my favourite colours, which are all the colours? Looks like you had a good sewing day.
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued by those hearts. Are they appliqued? Your bag is amazing too.
ReplyDeleteSome great projects worked on there Lin. I especially love the fabrics in the bag & that yarn looks so pretty. x0x
ReplyDeleteYou've made some good progress here. Sometimes, though, curling up with a good book is the thing to do!
ReplyDeleteYou were very productive! I love the gift bag / tote. The fabric colors are so pretty. Of course, I LOVE the hearts. I'm always a bit hesitant in ordering fabric online but I've yet to be disappointed.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bag Lin and lovely fabric in your hearts quilt. Great knitting too.
ReplyDeleteNothing better than having the house to yourself! :-) Lovely bag, love the lining! And the hearts, love them too, I have been thinking about something similar to do (easy to take away with), but started something else now, they will make a pretty quilt.
