Gotta love all these bags!

There is something extremely satisfying about finishing stuff ... even if it is just small projects. Here are my finishes this week:

1) Friendship Star Pants Bag for Amy @ A Quilting Sheep. One of my earliest blogging friends to whom I just wanted to say, 'thanks' - she let me choose the colours - hope you like it when it arrives, Amy:


2) Missouri Star Quilt Company charm bag from this tutorial. This is for my dear cousin in Maryland who'll be having her 60th birthday in a few weeks. The bag is made from her Mom's vintage fabrics which Lora gifted me in 2011:


I used the same fabric for the base, lining and handles :


3) Grocery bag dispenser from this Moda Bakeshop tutorial for a friend at work:




And small stuff is really all I can do. There's still no way I could FMQ a quilt - stippling this little 18" x 18" grocery bag dispenser just about exhausted my poorly arm tonight :(

But 3 little finishes in a week? Getting to play with lots of different fabrics?   Testing out the arm? Yeah, I'll take all of that! Linking up with Amanda and Sarah.

    Bags are great finishes, If I do say so myself. Take care of that arm and keep with the small projects. They show just as much love...
