This bag will match my sewing machine MaT... & will be taken to retreats with ALL the necessities inside the 4 ZIP pockets... or inside the other OPeN pockets.

This is the one I started in Melbourne at Friday Night With Friends last week.
This "Sue" is a real little sweetie.

It's FiNiSHeD

And I'm really HaPPy with it too.
My #1 GS is having a birthday this week... so I made him a QuiLT for his bedroom.
He loves the colour GReeN and MoTor BikeS too... so of course I incorporated them into the quilt.
The quilt pattern is called TRAFFIC JAM & is available from Kids Quilts in New Zealand.
The Antique Trucks quilting design was by Julie from Edge to Edge Quilting in Dungog.
The quilt measures 62in x 80in.

ThRee is EasY

I needed to make another "Ouch Pouch" gift... so instead of making just 1... I made 3.
I started like this ...

And finished with these...

The original Ouch Pouch pattern by Melissa is available over HeRe... at Cornbread and Beans.
Click this link...  https://cornbreadandbeansquilting.wordpress.com... to go to her blog.
I didn't "box" these pouches as I have before... instead...
I left these 3 flat because I needed them a little larger.

Thanks Narelle for the encouragement to make a monthly Xmas gift.
