Have been busy working on my 'hearts in blue' getting the cream border embroidered and it is now ready for the final navy border, then I'll take a photo and post it here.
Last year I taught the stained glass stack and slash at my craft group. As usual I still have to finish mine, it's ready for quilting but I'm still tossing whether to add borders to each side and make it into a tablecloth for the back patio. I just love the colours in the top.
This is a close up of a block, it really is so easy to do.
I've also made a stable bag in the last week. The pattern was a bit expensive $22 and I found the instructions weren't crystal clear but I muddled through and I'm thrilled with the results.
I just love the way it opens up and everything is able to be seen at a glance. It would be fantastic to take to workshops with your stuff in, just open up the bag and everything is in front of you, no searching through the depths.

Aren't the stable bags great? I made mine in Japanese fabric about 18 months ago and I have just about worn it out. My boss wanted me to make her one but I have managed to avoid her so far. Yours looks wonderful, and you are right, it holds heaps and everything is so easy to find.

Lynette - what a fabulous bag!! Love your colour choices as well - can you tell me please where you found the pattern - $22 is quite expensive, but just think of what you would pay if you bought this at retail, even at a market!! Well done indeed. Also don't need to tell you how divine your latest grand-daughter is!! I have a grandson, and hope for a daughter one day.
I meant grand-daughter (already have the daughter), but I guess you figured that out, and I forgot to sign off!! We have just been hit by a huge storm, so I had best be off.

I just love my bag which I made about 2 years ago. You are right you can open it up and see everything at a glance and I love the pockets in side.
Love your colours.
