Subscribe early!

Apologies if you feel bombarded with this at the moment, as usual I am a bit late getting my post out so you've no doubt heard it all before, a few times, already.  But, dammit, it is worth saying again.

If, like me, you wish there was a choice, a bit of variety in modern quilting magazines - pay attention.  There is something you can do about it.

Kerry, of Penny Dog Patchwork, is fundraising to start a brand spanking new quilting magazine, Fabricate!
I'll leave all the detail explaining to Kerry - read this - but I would say this.  If she succeeds, you are probably going to want to get this magazine.  Ahhh go'aaan... you know you will.  We'll all be blogging about it... So if you can make a donation, this will be much more likely to happen.   And if, sadly, it doesnt happen, no money is taken from you at all, so you've lost nothing - except the opportunity to get a great new quilty magazine.
Nuff said.

Meanwhile...  I finished 2 christmas present makes, and promptly forgot to photograph them.  Not that I'd be able to blog them anyway, secret time and all that.  However, I had 2 requests for bags, and I got the first one done.  I give you the "off on a cruise" holiday bag.  (For a lady who is, conveniently enough, going to be going on a cruise soon.)  It's actually my trusty favourite Lisa Lam bag, the "For Pleat's Sake tote".

  5. How did you get on sewing on the handles? I've made the same bag, and loved it but found it really hard to get neat stitches through the leather handles (but my handsewing is pretty ropey so it is probably just me!). Juliex

  9. Thank you Sarah! I'm finding that people think I am "the other" Kerry at the minute though which is a bit scary, my total could be much higher right now if I had been given a different name...
