October Finishes

October is off to a good start for me. Yesterday I made this little table topper for Emily for Christmas. I saw these charm squares at the store and knew she'd love the bright colors. It finishes at about 22-1/2 inches across and it really is square, even though the picture makes it look crooked.


Today I made this tote bag for Emily. She wanted a new bag for school and she wanted it camo. We found the fabric a couple of weeks ago. I didn't have a pattern for this...I just made it up as I went along. I can't wait for her to get home from school and see it. I sure hope it's the right size and the handles are the right length.


Now I'm off to cut sashing for my Wonky Log Cabin blocks. I can't wait to start sewing them together! :0)

I'm sure the bag will be loved by your daughter and the table topper too when you give it to her. They are both lovely. Hugs....

Emily is going to love her new camo bag. I hope it's the right size - let us know. The table topper is adorable.

Hello Terry,

I do love the bright table topper. The bag is great, nothing like finding a present made with love when you get home from school.

Happy days.

Oh no! I thought I left a comment. I was wondering how Emily liked her bag. I am now able to make notes with a program that converts my recorded words into text. I hope this doesn't sound too strange.
