Perfect Pockets Shawl......






I loved this shawl as soon as I saw the photo and decided to make it for my daughter-in-laws birthday.  She loved it.  It is so nice when you make something and it is so appreciated.   The name of the shawl is Perfect Pockets Shawl and the pattern is by Sonja Hood.  Very easy directions to follow and didn't take long to make.

Skull Bag......

 I love making these bags.  This one is lined in pink with a zippered pocket and 8  credit card slots.
It also has a vinyl piece on the bottom of the bag.  The design is from Parker on the Porch.   I love their designs and they all stitch out beautifully.

No Wool Left Behind......


 The name of this rug is No Wool Left Behind by Johanna  Lindahl/ Mijo Crochet.  I had some bits and pieces of wool and wanted to use them up.  This pattern was just perfect.  it is all done in half double crochet and it is like a spiral and you just go around and around till you finish the colour that you are using. I am having fun learning new stitches and have found that u tube is very helpful with this.  Thank you Johanna for the fabulous  pattern.

Cute Emu.....

 Loved this Emu, it certainly does give to the Quarantine Hair we all could have ended up with if everything had remained closed. Hopefully it will be just a memory in months to come.  The design is from OMYCS.  They have a lot of great designs and they all stitch out beautifully.

Hexagon Duffel Bag.......



 So happy with this bag.  I have been making 1 inch hexagons when I have been going to the patchwork club.   My machine is too heavy to carry so I opt for hand work.     It is called the Bon Voyage Duffel Bag by She Can She  and you will find the pattern there.  I used vinyl on the ends and on the bottom.  I also added a clear vinyl  to cover the hexagons to make it a bit more durable.  It is called Heat n Bond Vinyl, you just iron it on.  The inside of the bag is lined with black and I also added a zipper pocket.  The vinyl on the bottom and ends did make it a bit hard to turn, it just took a bit longer to do.
