My six Arabesque bags were fun to do. I still have piles of fabrics on the floor which would be perfect for this pattern. Buddy Melissa gave me a charm pack of Doe, a new fabric line by Carolyn Friedlander. Apparently I wasn't "done" with bags and had to turn this charm pack of 5" squares into an Aeroplane Bag, a great pattern by Sara Lawson of Sew Sweetness. I love this pattern and love how this bag turned out! Look at the reverse of this bag equally cute!
The pillow made from a leftover block of this quilt has finally been completed. The back was another great reason to work on my Sashiko quilting. And what I am learning is that I must use wool batting - it so nicely highlights the stitching and is so easy to needle. And now? I have no excuses: I must organize my studio and put away and be thoughtful about what I want to do next!
