Just in case you didn't believe me........

.........these zipper bags really are fast and easy. I made this one tonight.

I am joining in with Friday Night With Friends on Friday. Hope to see you there. I'll have to come back later to do the button.

Zipper bag

Thank you Sharon from Lilabelle Lane for sharing the link to the Noodle head zipper bag tutorial. It was so easy to follow and a great result.

I used some scrap fabric just to test it out.

And now I can't wait to get started on my pretty fabrics I bought last week. Did I mention that it comes in three sizes........this is the small one.

Hope you had a good weekend too.

FNSI

Finally got my act together to do FNSI. Takeaway for tea, hubby away, boys occupied.

Two of Gail Pan's little Christmas Delights jumped the queue. My son just asked me what they are used for............hmmmmm..........they're just really cute little Christmas things. He seemed satisfied with that answer.

Feeling very pleased with myself that SSCS is finished AND wrapped.

I did some quilting on In Full Bloom. Not really enjoying it as it's mostly quilting in the ditch, which isn't fun by hand.

TTS is pinned and ready to quilt. And even more exciting........I can see that my sewing table is actually wood, not just mountains of fabric and stuff.

So it was a very productive night. Have a great weekend.

Christmas planning

Please don't shake your head at me for going to the Home Patch again. I really needed cheering up today so I thought a spot of Christmas shopping was in order. The fabric I bought is very different to what you usually see on my blog, but it was so much fun choosing them. They are all destined to be zippered bags or journal covers for Christmas gifts. Well that's the plan anyway.......it may end up being for next Christmas.

These fabrics are quite out of my comfort zone, so Michelle very kindly shared her opinions about my choices.........and some were put back on the shelf.

They look even fresher and brighter in real life. So beautiful fabric, a deep breath of H&P inspiration, and some retail therapy has worked wonders for me today.

Now where is that bag pattern?............
