Some time ago Marina was offerring this pumpkin fabric free to a good home ........... well, I was the only person who wanted it so it has been living with me.......
I have had some hessian (burlap) and this last week I have made these:
not just one bag...........
not two...............
but three grocery shopping bags..............
I am very happy with the result
One for me,
and two towards Christmas gifts
Narelle has challenged us to make one Item for Christmas each month and Allie has a linkie where you can strut your Christmas makes..
These are blocks from Shell's BOM last year....... I made one last year - and gave it away.... I had all the blocks drawn out and I have promised myself to get some UFO's done before starting too much new......
I love the quotes.......
and a Raggedy & Friends blocks which are by Kaaren as a BOM
(I am wa-a-a-ay behind - I'm supposed to be up to 9!!)
Joy hosts Finishing Stitches - 5 UFO blocks completed
That deserves a little celebration?
Safe weekends to you all.... read you in February!!!!

Your grocery bags are gorgeous! That's a great idea, I should make my mom some - the store we shop at doesn't use bags, we usually bring laundry baskets, lol!
I love your stitcheries too, they are so adorable!
These bags are fantastic. Always good to get a head start on Christmas.
Wow, good start for Christmas. The shopping bags are great and will be very useful. Love those stitcheries too.
Well done on the bags, they are just wonderful and the pumpkin fabric has definitely been used well.
Love your raggedy and friends block. I haven't started this but have been downloading it to do-eventually.
Definitely worth celebrating. I will have the white you can have the red!
Those shopping bags are much nicer than the ones the shops sell. Like the combination of hesian and the pumpkin fabric.
Nice blocks there, Shell's sure are pretty and thought provoking.
Great bags... great stitching... and a great raggedy block... yes I think a glass of nectar is well deserved xxx

Love the bags. Isn't it great to be able to great something wonderful from a mere piece of cloth. The raggedy quilt is so sweet, too. Thanks for sharing.
The pumpkin fabric does go well with the "burlap". I like the bags!
You stitcheries are so cute! One day I will sit down and learn that craft I hope.
