Sewing continued....

After saying we would share more of our finished sewing projects from our days of play, there was a realization that we can't show everything. It's that time of year to create things for our loved ones, and it would be a shame to ruin the surprise. I know you understand, but here are two bags that Barbara made. Last Christmas I sewed the bags for my girls, and Barbara had fun with the pattern this year! Her girls won't be looking... so we are safe. The pattern is called Brynne's Bag, and comes from The Pine Needle in Lake Oswego, Oregon. It can be ordered by calling 800-655-5632, or on their web site at http://www.pineneedlequiltshop.com/

The Pine Needle is one of the nicest quilts shops around, and the web site gives a good idea of all they offer!

The fabrics Barbara chose are rich, and add a certain flair to the bags! There are two nice -sized pockets inside, and each bag will soon have large buttons for a closure. These bags are large enough to use for books, groceries, or as a purse. Each is lined with a co-ordinating fabric, and the handles are long enough to throw over a shoulder.

One more quick wall hanging to show. Barbara made this one from a pattern called "Let it Snow", created by Country Lore Designs. She assured me it was not difficult to put together, and a fun one to do in fabrics to match a color palette of any choice. We have had a great couple of days and have many more to plan for!! Friends are a treasure!
