A FiNiSh & a STaRT

I finished off my 10 inch "bucket bag"...✅... aka Round Gift Bag.
If you're interested in making one too...
you can get the FREE pattern from Just Let Me Quilt... over HeRe.

As this is a Christmas gift... I'll add it to the group 1 Xmas Item a Month.

Looks like Spring has Sprung at my place...
I started using some lovely 100% wool felt in a few gorgeous colours...

These "circles" will eventually bud into "flowers"...
* * * * *

And another "flower basket" block was sewn together this week too...
I'm making slow progress... but it was always a  l-o-n-g  haul project.

I just love the bucket bag. The fabric is gorgeous. I’m looking forward to seeing your felt flowers progress and your block is nice and colourful. A nice WIP to have ticking along.

what an adorable bucket bag....that would come in handy just about anywhere....and when talking about "slow progress" we just take that second word....progress is the important word, right? The felt flowers have such lovely stitches.

Lovely finish on the bucket. I do like that idea.
And of course I love the wool felt. Can't wait to see your flowers.
The flower basket block is delightful. As you say, no rush.

Let’s talk bucket! I’m wondering about the sturdiness of the sides. I’d like to make this for my daughter to hold her crochet projects, but wonder if it will collapse like the last pattern I tried. Let me know what you think!

The bucket shaped bag is adorable! I will definitely be making my way to her block to check out the pattern!
