Bag Lady

I seem to be turning rapidly into a 'bag lady' - not made any cards for several days but I have been tinkering on the sewing machine.  I had made this quilted panel as a sort of experiment, then thought that it could form part of another bag.  I had to play around with the sizes to accommodate the panel and also within the limits of the matching fabric I had available without going shopping.  Paper crafters know how much 'stuff' accumulates within no time at all and I have been sewing on and off for years so you can imagine my fabric stash would probably stock a small shop!!  These two bags haven't really made many inroads into the hoard but it is a start and my machine has had an airing so that it doesn't feel neglected.

    Wow Val. I love the shape of your bag and the beautiful panel just finishes it off nicely. Did you design your pattern by any chance. Hugs Rita xxxxx

    Oh I say - this is rather special. The quilted panel looks super against the warm mottled browns & I love the way the stitching colours are echoed in the background material. I love the fact that the quilted panel isn't just white but has a subtle pattern in it that doesn't interfere with the stitching.

    Oh Val - this is absolutely lovely. The stitching on the panel is gorgeous. If you've ever got too many bags you can push one or two my way!!! lol Hope you're feeling better now - how strange we should both go down with pleurisy at more or less the same time eh?

    Is there no end to your talents Val? These bags are beautiful! Gosh, it's 20 years since I did any quilting like that when I did a City & Guilds course.

    Me again! I forgot to say I'm sorry you've been under the weather. Hope you're soon back on top form.

    Lots of love

    This is such a lovely bag Val, especially with that quilted panel. It's good to mix it up too as it stops you going stale. Jenny x
