Good morning Cuties,
I've finished the first part of 3 bags for my girlfriends Stasia, Kaye and Chris. I've already made mine (Aqua), Sue's (Red and Blue) and Meganne's (Aboriginal print) shown previously. I've only Mum's and Val's to do. Mum's will be blacks, whites and greys. Don't know about Val yet. I'm going to embroider their initials on them before I sew them.
I'm usually at Sewing Guild today but have to go back to my dentist to get a crown cemented back on temporarily. When I was in the Endodontist's last week he dislodged the 37 (lower left hand back molar) and just recemented it. I knew it wouldn't last as he hadn't put it on perfectly (so Monday night off it came) of course my tongue keeps going there and it's so jagged - ouch. So off to see Eric at 11.45 today. Hopefully he will be able to do something temporary until I go back to see the Endodontist on 27th March! Love Chris
(It seems odd being home - I'm always out on Thursdays)
So we have:
1. Kaye's in Autumn tones - full length and closed.
2. Stasia in Reds, greens and oranges - fully closed and full length.
3. Chris M's in Reds, greens, oranges and yellow - full length
4. Chris M's closed.
I'll see if I can finish them off in the next couple of days.

Thanks Sherene, these are mostly flats (50x52cxm) and I just cut them up. I get most of my "cheaper" fabrics from Spotlight. Some of the more expensive ones comes from my local Belmont Patchwork Heart shop. Love Chris

It really is that simple Carolyn. You start off doing the two small pieces together and just keep on building it up. It eventually becomes the chevron stripe. Love Chris
62461Very nicely done. There will be some nice looking totes when they are completed. Great colors and pattern. :)
