Another project I worked on last week is this bag..... I had done most of it but just needed to hand stitch the hole in the lining from pulling it through....
Again it was a UFO at the beginning of the year with the stitchery done and the fabrics all picked out and kitted up....
I found the linen at the same place as I got the lovely green linen for the bird cushion at The Quilters Angel .... I think I need to stock up on those linens.. they are rather delicious!
The bag is a pattern from a little book by Natalie Bird ....
I finished snipping all the edges of my raggy quilt and it has two washes and dries....
I do love how the edges get all crinkly ....
This week I got a bit of hand stitching done....
Four more blocks for Dutch Treat..... I am over 80 of the 196 blocks now!!! Still a long way to go!
... and my first block for Gardeners Journal is done.....
This weekend I am tracing more blocks.... for both of those quilts.....
I do hope you all have a wonderful weekend......

Lots happening at your place Fiona, love the bag!! And the stitchery. Your raggy seams quilt looks wonderful, great for cold evenings. The Dutch Treat blocks are wonderful too, you are well on the way with them!! The Gardner's Journal stitchery is lovely too, have a great weekend.
Hi Fiona,well done my friend,lots of beautiful work there,your bag is gorgeous,iam lucky to own one of those made by Sandi,such a lovely pattern,your locks look fantastic and your stitchery is lovely.
You have been one busy lady,i love the FMQ on Helen's quilt too,hope your day is a good one my friend xx
You have done a lot of things this week and all beautiful work. I have been looking at simple bags like a messenger bag, thinking of making one for Easter to put Nicks goodies in and something he can carry when we go beach combing.

You certainly haven't been sitting back doing nothing......that bag is a great design!
Oh nice bag! you are getting so expert at your DT sewing. I so love Gardners Journal. Still have the book....oohh ahh! Your stitching is lovely.
Gorgeous bag....linen is lovely to use...Dutch Treat is almost half way....going great.
Congratulation on finishing another UFO. It is so like you to take the time to make a little embroidery tag to embellish it. It's so pretty. Great job! I do love your raggy quilt. I still see the green grass but now I depict more the fruits in the trees, like apples and blue plums. It's charming! As always, I am in love with the DT blocks. The little lines in the blue one, are they needle turned too or is that embroidery? It is my favorite one. Just gorgeous! Enjoy the new project. It looks like a lot of fun. ;^)
Wow...you've got a lot on the go. Congratulations on the finish...love the stitcheries too.
Great work finishes the lovely bag 💼.......The Shaggy Quilt looks really snuggley...
Beautiful DT blocks and stitcheries....
Lovely bag and the rag quilt looks so pretty and comfy! You are getting lots done... think I should send some of my ufos over to you :) xx
Lots of nice things to look at. Very smart bag and I love the garden shed. xx
What a pretty bag! Great sentiment, too. Happiness is, indeed, where you find it. Good incentive to keep things tidy, or the happiness might end up under a pile of laundry...
You have been busy! The bag is lovely. The raggedy quilt is looking nice and soft and warm. Those Dutch treat blocks look like the designs are stencilled on!
Great to see the UFOs being completed. And the raggy quilt has come up so well. It looks soft.
Almost half way with the Dutch blocks. That's impressive.
You are working through your UFOs at an impressive rate! I love your bag and raggy quilt. Cant believe you are nearly halfway with Dutch Treat.
Love your bag! Keep up all the lovely work!
love the raggy quilt, they definitely get better with time
You are on a roll Fiona. Love your gorgeous bag and your raggy quilt will be lovely to snuggle under in the winter. Love your first Garden block. I too have this book and have never stitched any of the lovely blocks
the bag is lovely! Well done on completing a UFO. I still haven't sewn up the turning gap I left in the bag I made at Christmas!!
I don't know why I stay away so long....what inspiration...love the bag
