WOW and Post 300

When off on Monday I was torn between quilting the Appliqué Challenge quilt some more and getting the Sanquhar Pattern challenge bag well under way.  I decided to be good and go with the bag.


So the bottom seam was covered in a piece of fabric - the handle was made, pulled apart, cut and remade.  I started stitching it on, oops the handle was twisted, seams ripped apart again and re-sewn.  Tried again - oh yes, got it right.  Then everything was turned over and hand sewn down.  Now the seed stitching was needed to create the, or should I say 'a' pattern.


One thing became obvious pretty quickly, a full on Sanquhar block pattern wouldn't fit in my tiny half inch squares, and seed stitching wasn't looking right.  So, the pattern was improvised and the seed stitches became french knots.

There's about a quarter of it stitched now, plenty still to do but I hope to have it completed for handing in on Saturday.
