Thank you for all your sweet comments on my last post. It's hard to believe I've been blogging for five years. The great thing is I still love it as much now as when I started all those years ago.
This year I've made numerous drawstring bags from Sherri's great tutorial so today I am giving away this cute version made from Marmalade by Bonnie and Camille.
Front ...
and back.
I used one of the lovely florals in the range for the lining ...
and the red spot from Vintage Modern for the casings. I love how Bonnie and Camille's ranges work so well together .. I'm sure I've said that before too!
The bag features simple straight line quilting. I will learn to stipple and free motion quilt one day!
If you'd like to give this little bag a home, just leave me a comment on this post. Please tell me if you're a follower and I'll give you an extra chance to win. (That is, you'll get 2 entries in the random draw.) This giveaway will finish at midnight on Friday 4th January and is open to Australian and overseas readers. Good luck.
