The photos don't really do these little bags justice- they start as a square which is then quilted. the pink one is quilted by hand and the cream one has been quilted with
Aurifil Lana thread ( this is pure wool thread- I like it a lot!)- and then you stitch the sides of the square and you sort of create triangular sides- then add straps and voila a bag. I like the shape of them and because my friend will be teaching them to women whose sewing skills vary, it is quite easy to construct and can be hand quilted. I am in the process of making myself one as well!
The other photo is another image of Les Matelles- I love arched doorways and want to make a linocut of one of the images I took ( if you are interested in the lino-cutting course there are still some vacancies before our 25 January start)
Is there any other things that anyone would be interested in learning from me on-line? Just give me some ideas if you are and then I can put on the thinking cap and maybe devise a course!

I really like the bags. How large are they?
Please keep adding photos of your village and surrounds. LOVE the view from your bedroom!!
The bags are very cute, they are made like those chook pincushions, aren't they? They do look great.

I have bee enjoying your trip and great photos.I have had such fun since doing your lino cut course, a new window opened.
The bags look really nice, simple and rather elegant.
i have no idea about it
Those bags look great. Love the drama of the stitching. The KISS concept at work.
