A gift that I couldn't share before TheBeardedManinTheRedSuit bungied by...
My SSCS (run by Chookyblue) gift was for Tanje (Nemo) in Norway
I made a little snowflake ornie with a tinkle bell....

and for her main present a tote bag ......
almost a 'sampler' bag... different blocks front and back which make up pockets....
flying geese and block piecing
quilted throughout

lined with lots of pockets inside (as I know treasures leap into bags)
Nemo is fond of mice so I made this little one to fit in a pocket....

I loved making this bag - I hope Nemo loves it too
There's heaps of gifts and ornaments being shown on Chookyblue's blog if you fancy some inspiration

I'd love to introduce you to Helen.....
I met Helen when she came into one of my favourite LQS to buy a quilt.... she was told she couldn't buy one but she was welcome to join a bunch of us and make one..... we were sewing to make quilts for people affected by the floods.....
She is a great friend and I have no doubt her blog will be great fun... she covers furniture, gets her hands dirty refurbishing homes, and is game to try all sorts of new things... sewing, knitting - she did make a lovely quilt too (since she couldn't buy one) .... and has a wicked sense of humour.... you can see a few of her projects on her new blog
I hope you can pop by and say G'day.....
