Still working on Esther’s http://www.estheraliu.blogspot.com BOM block Forgetmenot . Today I have been making the back of the shoulder bag I have put Esther’s design Forgetmenot on to; see my blog Sat 23rd June. I have made the back in plain black 100% wool felt as a neutral to the bright red felt front. I have quilted it and added one button.
Back of shoulder-bag in black felt and machine echo quilted
My button comes from Italy a lovely lady gave me several buttons many years ago when I was visiting her.
Now to find some silk neck ties for the gusset and shoulder straps!!!!!!!
Hmmmmmmm I think I have found the ties, just been in to hubby’s wardrobe?????????
Dare I use them??????
Will wait till tomorrow and have another look before adding them by machine!!!!!!!! Tonight I will put the bias-binding around the edges of the front and back before adding the gusset ties?????????
For you Paola and Jon?????
Kitty-sue and her dear companion Rocket in his 90's!!!!!
This after-noon I took Rocket (wolfhound X Boxer) down to the unit and gave him a shower, we have a wheelchair shower down there, Rocket is in his 90’s in human years, so as it is winter here but it is still in the 20’sC ; around 25C today, I will not wash him outside with cold water!!!!! then I brought him upstairs in to the sun and dried him with my hairdrier, he lapped up all the extra attention.
Must fly dinner needs cooking and fire lite before it gets to cold I don’t want Rocket getting cold after his bath, down to 20 now and it is only 4pm, going to be another cold night for us.
Cheers every one Glenda
