Last year I found some awesome bag handles at Spotlight. I immediately knew they would be perfect for a bag for Miriam for our Advent Swap. I had no idea how or what I was going to do... I like patterns or rules or some sort of guideline... but...
It looks use-able right? I was a little surprised and just a teeny bit happy with the result! I might just try it again sometime : )
Are you a pattern kind of person or do you like to "wing" it?
February's giveaway is this awesome Grace Taylor Paper Pack and Set of Journal Tags. It's a gorgeous design and fantastic for all kinds of projects: scrapbooking, cardmaking, decorations, paper bunting, etc, etc...
Cant wait to see what you've been making and hearing your thoughts on structured or free-spirited creations!

I love hexies and I loved watching this bag come together !! !! !!
ReplyDeleteLove the bag! Why do you hand quilt and not just do it on the machine? One of lifes big questions i've always pondered!
ReplyDeletex
that bag is so miriam, i bet she loves it to bits! your so clever making it from scratch like that. i have a real problem following written patterns, so if it isn't on youtube in 3 d real life action i'm nearly always winging it a bit! gorgeous paper, perfect also for a spot of doll house decorating i think!
ReplyDeleteThat bag is fantastic! Youve used some really cute fabric. I am yet to try hexagon patchwork, seems to hard! I wish i understood patterns so I wing it instead. Ive linked my crochet cushion! x
ReplyDeleteWow! So excited to click over and see that I've won the giveaway! Thanks so much - I'm such a lucky girl! The bag looks great! You should totally write a tutorial - this is the kinda thing I could see going viral on Pinterest! I'm continuing with a hexie project I've got going on (a pretty slow burn one though I'm afraid), but this week I've linked a hot air balloon I've been working on.
ReplyDeleteThat is so so lovely....I think you did a fab job of winging it....I think I am inspired to dig out all the bag handles in my stash. xx
ReplyDeleteI love it, one day I will make a quilt. You make it look easy but I'm sure it's not : )
ReplyDeleteHi Leonie... Congrats to Jenny for the win... Love your bag!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous bag and all the more special for Miriam because you designed it from scratch for her!
ReplyDeleteAs for pattern or wing it- you know me, wing it every time and keep my fingers crossed that I don't get myself into trouble (which I normally do!)
I wing it! and that is one cute bag! Lucky Miriam, you really spoiled her :)
ReplyDeleteOh and by the way love! the cat add too :) lol
ReplyDeleteHi Leonie! I do love a set of clear instructions and a pattern, but I admit to sometimes taking a left turn somewhere and winging it. ;) I haven't visited in such a while, I didn't know about your linky. Hope you're doing well, and your little miss is a doll! xoxo
ReplyDeletecongrats to Jenny! awesome win!
ReplyDeleteYour hex bag is cool. well done. Love how colourful it is
Love the hexie bag - it's gorgeous :-)
ReplyDeleteHey Leonie - what's the 'blogging protocol' ;) for linking in, is two projects under the same linky a project too many? I'm new to this linky-thingidy-boo.
