Springtime Blooms. This is one of the projects from Mamre House. (And yes it was my project for Jenny's stitching weekend in New Zealand.) As well as the framed stitchery, the pattern includes a Chatelaine (mobile phone or gift pouch) and scented sachet.
Barb's 'Be Inspired' button was perfect for the 'Beautiful Blue Birdies' theme.
Class Carry Bag. I first made this bag about four years out of need. One day I found myself struggling to a quilt class with a basket, bag, sewing machine and cutting mat tucked under my arm. You can imagine trying to sqeeze through the doorways, past other students without bumping into anyone or dropping anything. How wonderful if everything, apart from the sewing machine, could fit in one bag. Since then I've made a rotary cutter case and ruler cover (6.5 x12inches) to match.
Christmas Treats. What I like most about these bags is you don't need to wrap the presents. Pop them inside, pull the drawstring closed and instant wrapping. Slip a gift card in the stitched pocket and it's ready for giving. The tags are designed for those of us who leave things to the last minute but still want to give a handmade gift.
I have one copy of each pattern to giveaway (no choosing). Simply post a comment no later than Sunday 8 November to enter the draw.
I loooooove your new patterns, Marg... Hope I still make it in the draw....
