Another finish for October....

My other finish for October is this bag.... I bought it as a kit at a craft show in Melbourne a few years ago...

I'm a sucker for bags and yellow is one of my favourite colours....

Don't you love the gorgeous floral fabric and those spotty handles.....

A couple of weeks ago I went into our local Aldi (not somewhere I shop very often) to buy something for Victoria and found this...

isn't this a beautiful orchid.... it is a soft green.. I bought a white one as well

but it didn't come up well in the photo below....

they look fabulous among the other plants I have upstairs....

a before the orchids shot....

Oh dear!

Oh deary! deary! me.... it has been a while.... I have been a bit lost in life and all it's ups and downs, no blogging but I have been trying to do a bit of sewing here and there....

  and guess what?... I have finished a few things....
first .... this is my 'Butterfly Kisses' quilt.....

a few years ago (probably longer than that) we went to a friend's wedding in Hervey Bay and I bought a few fat quarters in the Butterfly Kisses range.....

they sat in my cupboard for quite a while until I decided what to do with them, 

when I saw Leanne Beasley's 'Don't Forget the Chocolate' quilt in her 'Romancing the Roadtrip' book I knew it was a perfect design.....

it showed the pretty fabrics off beautifully........

my quilter  it kept the floral theme going....

my next finish was my 'Gardener's Journal'.......

it's nice to have it finished and on the bed.....

I'm quite pleased with the quilting.... a little bit of paisley like the border....

I love the fabrics I used in this.....

I have another finish to show you next time....
