Slash Bag again


Here is the my latest Slash bag.I started making these bags to sale at a craft stall to raise money for a Hospice. The stall never aventuated so I was left with a large pile of fabric (how sad).
Each time I make one it looks so different from the last.
They always find a home soon after they are finished and sometimes before.
Not sure were this one will go.

Fuzzed up cuddly bag

Here are a few more pictures Chris H, so you can see what happening.

Another little finish.






Remember this box of special blocks!

I am slowly getting them done.










 I have finished the fourth one now

UFO Housework!

Wow what an amazing effort we have had so far this year...
Lots of posts and lots of finishes..
 Now Wendy and I have been keeping an eye
 on all the finishes and trying to keep up with the list
 of individual UFO finishes on the left hand side bar...
 NO panic if you have already posted a few newies...LOL
 we have some exciting things in store for the year 

BUT need to clarify some details:

 1. Unfinished object is a project you
started earlier (last year or before)
and have now decided to finish it...
2. Please post only UFO finishes!
 Save the new projects satrted and finished for our own blogs...
 We can visit your own blog and admire them!
3. Please number the UFO's on your post from now on
so we can keep the tally correct... see HERE
(with 70 odd bloggers its a huge 
undertaking checking back)

Now for some exciting stuff.....
 If you can email Dawn or Wendy
your UFO list  
( no matter the size..LOL)
So when they get finished we can
 keep track and  mark it off your list
then we can giveaway some encouragement prizes..
 Not saying what right now... but exciting stuff...
This is not for the most finished or new items just started
 hence why we need a list to check it off.
Its for those of you, who have finished some of those dang UFO's.
 SO LETS GET SOME MORE UFO'S  FINISHED 
and make this a year to remember... 

 Lots of Hugs
 Dawn and Wendy

Here is my 1st Finish UFO.

It may be small but a finish no less.


In my mission to learn as many embroidery techniques as possible I have recently started learning Hardanger.
This is my first finished item.

Craft to Do - Sandra

Two UFO's Finished

Wow! My first UFO finishes.

At the start of March I had a tidy up in my craft cupboard and found a few UFO's that go back too many years to count. This 'Chicken Scratch' pot holder just needed to be sewn up.


My Holly Hobby Peg Bag was waiting for the binding on both ends and 3 buttons and button holes.

So I kept both projects out where I could see them and ... ta-da! Two UFO's finally finished and it didn't take long at all.

Holly Tote finished (#13 finish)

When I am wanting to try a new technique I start by making a small project..... a couple of years ago I wanted to do some applique using 'invisible thread' so a did a block with holly leaves and cut fabric in preparation for a bag... and in the cupboard it sat.... until now....


hope I can fill it with some loveliness 


Not only do I have a UFO done - but something is ready for Christmas too
~ double YAY ~

so good to tick things off the list
thanks Dawn and Wendy
