Hi Cuties,
I've just finished off the layering of the front and back of Mum's black, grey, white and pink bag. I've taken a picture of the others in a row. One more to go and that will be mine in black, whites and greys. I was originally going to have the Aqua one, but Mum tells me that her friend Val who came along to the luncheon last year and will be coming again this year would love an Aqua one. So that settled that, I'll start on a black and white one for me tomorrow.
At 2.00pm tomorrow afternoon Trev and I are going to see Jesus Christ Superstar at the Civic Theatre here in Newcastle. It was our Christmas present from Amy and Steve. We are going to the matinee at 2.00pm. It started on Wednesday evening and the whole show has been completely booked out. It's a first for Newcastle - for this particular Theatre group anyway to completely sell out a show. There is a 41 piece orchestra and that's also a first. Can't wait to see it, as Trevor and I saw the show for the first time in Adelaide when we were just married. Marcia Hines was Mary Magdalene and Jon English Judas and a veritable unknown named Trevor White played Jesus.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Love Chris

24276They are all beautiful ,but I still like the aqua one the best though the black & white bag will probably go with more outfits.

Thanks Loralye. I will enjoy it, we are going out to lunch first and then the show.
Trevor will go into Amy's tomorrow morning and mow their lawns etc. I'm going to go over to Dana's and just tidy up before they come home on Sunday. Amy asked me to just check to make sure everything was neat and tidy. Amy has been staying there the past couple of nights and she said things were chaotic!!!!! Love Chris

7166111372Like Sarah I thought that there was a row of cushions... just shows how wrong I was. What a great collection of super bags Chris. I am just amazed that you are so organised for Christmas. Enjoy Jesus Christ Superstar

Thanks Caroline, he he he! No, I'm not taking orders. Anyone can do these, they are so easy. As I said lower down if you could get something else that gives the same effect I'd use it in a flash. The Bosal is very expensive for such a small amount - it's sold by 25cm lengths!!!! - mind you it's 147cm wide, but you don't get much out of that size, so you have to have it much longer! Love Chris
115689Chris, when I first looked I thought your sofa had cushions on. LOL. I just love the one on your machine. I would love to tackle a bag like this but just not brave enough. Your totes are lovely. Hugs Sarah

Hi Sarah, This is the Sofa that Ophélie sleeps on. It pulls out to a bed and then we put it back as a Sofa. Go on have a go at making one - it is very easy and a quick gift idea. You could make this on other types of heavy duty wadding if you can't get the Bosal InR form in South Africa. It's very expensive and I'm sure there would be some other sort of fabric/lining/wadding whatever you call it to use. The good thing about the Bosal is that it has a sticky topping which your fabric is ironed to. Thanks once again, love Chris

On Mum's one I have put the floral fabric on each corner, so that when it's sewn up the side the edges will match. Love Chris

Ethan suggested that capillary matting could be a good substitute. I'm going to look into it. Perhaps it would work with some permanent spray adhesive.

Drats! It's just gone 8.00am here on Saturday morning and Trevor has already been to Bunnings and is off into town to do Amy and Steve's lawns etc. If I'd known he was going there I'd get him to look into it - wait a minute, no, I think I had better go look for it! I know what he's like!!!!! Thanks for that idea Ethan and thanks Sue for passing it on here too. Love Chris
254966They are all great, I love the black and white one, but I would like to see a green one. My favourite colour.Hugs.

Thanks Lynn, my favourite colour combination is black, white and grey. I don't like greens, so unfortunately you'll not be seeing one! Love Chris

Hi Therese, I'm thrilled with them all and as I've done each one I've done something a little bit more. I didn't quilt the first two (Aboriginal print and the Aqua one). I then quilted the rest and the last three - the two red and green ones and the brown one on the end I've put the girl's initials on them. I'll put Mum's initial on hers too tomorrow. Love Chris
