Hi Cuties, I’ve finally made one of the backpacks for moi!
Of course in black, white and grey with a twist! I’m an absolute Frangipani nut and so added them to the backpack. I have stickers on my car and I pick real ones from neighbours trees. They have just about finished. I’ve got 2 small trees down in the back garden but they won’t flower for a while. I can’t wait for the flowers to appear.This is a Sweetpea design incorporating 3 of their designs. The Freeform backpack, the Freeform table runner and the Frangipani flower. L
I have entered this one into their Project of the Week competition.
Now I’m about to sew a Rainbow leotard for number 1daughter.
It’s a glorious Autumnal day about 20C. We’ve had Ben and his 3 boys here for lunch till 2.00. Now peace reigns once again!! They are very noisy! Love Chris <

Thanks so much Bev, it took a bit of 'tweaking', but I'm thrilled with the finish. I'll take it out shopping and I'm off to Meg's tomorrow, so I'll take it down with me. Love Chris

Thanks so much Laura, that's exactly what Aqualina said when she saw hers. She told me all her friends will be amazed at her backpack. I ended up giving them to all the grandkids, although I wasn't going to. Love Chris
96237I'm glad you made one for yourself! The frangipani flower, which is one of my favorites too, is a fabulous as the bag's crowning glory! Sometimes I think we forget about ourselves when doing so much for others. We all need to take time to create for ourselves as well. Wherever you take this, people will be staring at you!

I still call them Frangipani's, but penny is correct Plumeria is the correct Botannical name. Love Chris
