Finishes and Samples

The two UFO's I'd hoped to get finished this weekend are now in the 'Finished' listings 


Threave Quilter's 2011 challenge - take 1 FQ (given out by the Guild) and create something using one or two other fabrics.  Inspired by Jenny's work at Sew Kind of Wonderful I created a mini quilt 
Threave Challenge 2011
Threave Challenge project
And, finish number 2 - the hand dyed fabric laptop bag - I started this a few months ago and just had to sew it up, add binding and create the handles (I maybe should have forgotten the handles, I've just sewn over the edge with perle cotton and blanket stitch.)  I think I'll be revisiting this later to see if I can cover it with a bias strip.  This will be tricky and fussy sewing and something to do when I've got LOTS of patience.

Congrats! Two finishes in one week is terrific.

I need to make a laptop bag too and keep putting it off :)

Hurray! Finishes are so fun (or so I've heard....haven't actually been there for a while)
