Patchwork bag

Posted Tuesday, August 19, 2008, at 12:43 PM

Obviously some of these aren't African print (one is vintage and the other is from Hancocks in M'boro).

I know I said I was going to make a hat with the African fabrics, but I made a patchwork bag first. I'm pretty pleased with how it came out. I got the pattern from the Posie gets cozy blog, which I love.

Anyway, hat this weekend. I made one last weekend, but the brim is way too wide and it looks funny. So, I'm attempting it again this weekend.

Mary -

Thank you. Not to pat my own back, but I impressed myself with this one - I didn't think it would look okay, never mind actually stay together during use.

Yes, I have her number. I've been debating on calling because my husband won't here to help me set up (he's going to a conference in St Louis that weekend). I was planning on emailing you back but, of course, got caught up in work things.

I'm sorry to hear about your surgery. I can't imagine how scary it must be when it comes to the health of your baby.

Hey! I LOVE THAT BAG! WOW! Good job! =)

I have been MIA for a while. I had to have surgery in regards to the health of the baby. We are both doing fine now, and are at home healing and bedresting. It is going to be a LONG 26 weeks before he gets here.

Did you get that email I sent you with the lady's number for the craft fair? If not, let me know and I'll resend it. I'm about to send my booth fee to her. =)

I LOVE the bag!! If you were to do a booth at Pet Day, I bet they would fly out the door, if you used animal fabrics.

You sure keep yourself busy. Rest for a few hours and come see us again at Weed'em and Reap. Folks keep asking about you and hubby.
