Easter Bag
I made this little bag for my niece Tali from pink sandcastle and some Simplicity fabrics. The pattern is by Lynette Anderson and appeared in Australian Homespun Vol 6 No 2. The original used wool felt for the applique but I didn't have any cream felt so went with cottons instead.
I've seen some great pictures lately of bloggers cats - seems they all like to sit in and on all things quilty. Oliver is no exception - baskets, bags, boxes, cupboards - he has to try them all out. This is what happens when you take a fat quarter bag out of a cupboard - a cat moves in and takes over the space!
Mm, very comfy. And a great view.
Right, yes, she's got the camera out. I better do something cute now!
And how's this?

Christine,
ReplyDeleteYou have that so right about cats. Lay out something quilt related and they are all over it. My Callie lets me borrow 'her' cutting mat when I need it. She is constantly laying on top of the quilt I have in the frames. LOL Oliver is so cute. Cute bag as well.

Christine,
ReplyDeleteI just love the bag, really cute. But of course, you know that I have a fondness for Oliver!! Too cute, he does some of the same things that my Rolo does. Such funny characters, sometimes they impede your quilting progress but give you a good laugh at the same time.
Adorable Easter bag! I love sandcastle -- I wish I had it in every color. Oliver is just saying that he wants you to make him a bag too LOL!
ReplyDeleteThat bag looks familiar! You have done a lovely job of your stitching. What a show off your cat is, mine always runs off when I get the camera out.
ReplyDeleteLove the Easter bag. The cat pictures are fabulous! Fabric is for kitties to curl up on and be comfortable, isn't it?? That's what our cats have tried to convince me! :-)
ReplyDeleteYour fabric cupboard is so tidy even with Oliver making himself comfy!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Easter bag for your niece..and as for that cheeky cat Olly....one word...poser
ReplyDeleteHi Christine,
ReplyDeleteLovely bag and gorgeous Oliver. Milly always helps me in the sewing room too, usually cuddles up on my foot or the sewing machine pedal, makes for interesting sewing some days. They love to be involved don't they!! Cathyxx
Ohh..he is some fabric lover...and camera lover too...;D Love to see how well organized you had in your cupboard...not like mine...;D
ReplyDeleteAnd that was a cute bag...guess she was happy to receive it!

OH I am giggling here about your Cat! I bring new fabric home and sure enough.. cat on fabric...
ReplyDeleteI have to run tape on things before I give them away in case it has a fur coat! LOL
and I know one thing is for sure.. I'll never ever ever make a black quilt with a long haired puss puss!
I have those civil war books too and Just love them, and once I have finished a couple of epic projects i might actually start them!
take care and have awonderful weekend!
