Yes it's been raining all weekend so what is one to do ?? One must of course sew and then sew some more all whilst watching movies with her hubby.......... I am progressing with my Baguette Bag. The front, back and sides are now complete and I am just waiting on some stiff interfacing to arrive before I put the bag together.
I have had some fabrics from the Rounneirres Range from French General arrive. I have a little project in mind for these - Stay Tuned !
The binding on Tom's Birthday quilt is all ready to be sewn on in time for his 2nd birthday on the 10th December - Boy doesn't time fly.I fell in love with this wall quilt at the last Quilted Crow Gathering. It is "Birds of Happiness" by Leanne Beasley. I am going to do mine in "Somerset Cottage" by Robyn Pandolph.
Over the summer break I am going to give our bedroom a make-over and this quilt will be perfect to hang over our bed. It measures a HUGE 45' x 27". To give you an idea of the stitchery it is 3 X A3 sheets pasted together - Just gorgeous ! The little birdies are needle turned.
I am also going to make these little thread baskets by Rosalie Quinlan. I am going to fill them with chocolates for the girl's teachers. 
So as you can see I have plenty to keep me busy at the moment. I have made a list that I am steadily working through - We only have 4 weeks now so the count down has begun.Until Next Time - HUGS

Looks like you have some lovely fabric and projects to keep you busy. Perfect weekend weather to stitch, I was surprised we had so many people turn out for the market. Tasmanians are a hardy lot!
You are so organized with delightful projects. Have fun!

Lovely projects Fiona! In fact I've been looking for a thread basket pattern just like that... will have to see if I can get a copy... Off to check it out :)
Your bag looks gorgeous...I'm waiting eagerly for my copy to arrive so I can have a look!
The rest of your projects look great too!
Busy, Busy! I am just too scared to do a list at the moment and am in denial about how long till Xmas..... I am pretty sure it is another 10 months away??
