.........Leanne has been sewing bags to take to the supermarket since plastic shopping bags have been banned here in SA.............I made this for Rhiannon to take books/folders to school..............she is home for a few weeks while she completes her prac teaching in a local primary school..............I was pleased with it....it's a very roomy and sturdy bag so should stand up to a bit of use!
I am a bit behind with blog reading..........I have been stitching at night again instead of spending time on the computer........I have finished the stitchery on the doiley I started at Inspired Stitches, and was going to put it together today but after I finished Rhi's bag I worked on a quilt that has been sitting under my sewing table in a box "patiently" waiting for me to get back to it..... Emmy's Braids is a quilt I started in a class early last year........!
I then decided that I would stick with the white background.......and still it sat.......! So today I got it out and have almost finished the applique (machine buttonhole).......just a couple of flowers and hearts left and the top can be put together.......it is nice to work thru some of the UFOs....and this is a pretty quilt (or it will be soon!)
Well......Monday morning will be here soon......another busy week with a couple of weeks leave coming up at the end of it......! Looking forward to that!
'Til next time.....................Lorraine

Hi Loz....first of all, I want to know HOW you managed to pull yourself away from the computer. Mine keeps calling me! Love the bag and the quilt. Great job! Happy Mother's day.
You have been busy. I love the bag you made for Rhiannon. What fabric line is that from? It sounds like you had the perfect Mother's Day.
enjoy your stitching time........you have been very productive........
Rhiannon's bag is beautiful... :) Hope you're enjoying having the kids home!! You don't have shopping bags in SA? Wow! I have loads of green shopping bags... but I usually forget to take them to town!!!
I bag you finished is gorgeous, i love the fabric you have used. The quilt i am sure will be equally gorgeous and sooooo pretty.
Happy mothers day I'm glad you spent it sewing we did the usual trip to Moonta. I love the colours in Rhiannon's bag.
Lorraine, I am so pleased you pulled out 'Emmy's braids' I remember seeing that a while ago on your blog and thinking what a gorgeous quilt.... colours and design, it will be good to see it finished.
Love the bag for shopping or sewing goodies, well done on getting some sewing done.
The wekend is never long enough, (we need another day), I've just caught up on all my blog reading, it takes a while. The bags look great, I must try and make some more soon, they look so much more attractive than the "green bags"
happy stitching

Great bag - love the fabrics/colours. Also love the fabrics in Emmy's Braids - looking forward to seeing that quilt together.
So glad you had such a lovely mother's day! I was going to spend the day sewing, but ended up having a couple of naps instead! All good! I actually managed to finish my inspired stitches stitchery last night, but have yet to make it up. I think I NEED ricrac before I can do that. Hmm... I think I feel a trip to a patchwork shop coming on...
