A minture quilt!!

As a lot of my friends know I prefer doing all my stitching by hand. Now when I watched this tiny quilt being made on you. tube, I decided to give my sewing machine a nice test to see if I would be able to get this done. Well I must say it was such fun to do and I did this in a day. Thanks to Sue Bouchard for sharing this cute pattern with me.  Its called the Card Trick block and she has made the instructions so easy and even myself have found to be easy very easy. So now I have to do the same one just in a smaller mini and also the pattern is available from her site. So once again thanks Sue for sharing this wonderful easy instruction pattern with me.

My new Knitting and Crochet bag

I have finished this bag for my knitting and crochet projects, supplies always is a bit bulky and need lots of space and also have a lot of pockets in here with zips to keep my hooks in safe place as they tend to fall out if not under zip and lock. hehehehehe!
It is quite large because I did not want to cut away some of the lovely cat fabric pictures.
Still needs some finishing touches and ready to use.
