Bags Completed.

About a month ago Dawn was offering for sale the pattern to make a "Baseco Mahal Kita" tote. It was to raise money for the people of Baseco. I am sure you can still buy one.

My DD2 had given me these scraps of fabric and I thought it would be perfect to make the bag. Instead of the embroidery blocks I used butterfly blocks.


Today I also completed some more Rice Bags for Hiam Health in Dili.



I can pop them into the mail tomorrow.

    What a nice bag! Great idea too to have the money from the pattern donated to help others.

    I spent yesterday making the same bag. Hopefully I will finish it today when I go and buy some matching cotton to sew the handles. Isn't it always the way that you own lots of cotton but not one that is the right colour. I love your colour arrangement.

    I just wanted to say thank you for stopping by my blog today! Tomorrow Lynne is taking me out to a Quilt Ralley , so I am attempting to go to bed early. But, you know how it is - when you want to sleep -it doesn't want to co-operate.

    Best wishs to you for a wonderful day.
