A Winner and another SewTogetherBag

ANJA is the winner of my 9 years a blogger giveaway!  Congratulations, Anja!  You chose Cotton and Steel as your choice for the charm pack.  I have it all cut up and ready to go.  I have been in contact with Anja and I will deliver her winnings. Thanks to all my lovely followers for all the nice comments.  I appreciate them, each and every one.  

I made another Sew Together Bag. That's 4 I have made althogether. I think that is enough.  They are such fun to make.  I love choosing the fabrics.   I had purchased some cork fabric from MM Cork Supply to try.  I have seen so many lovely things being made with the real cork and I wanted to give it a go.  A ton of different colours and even some printed ones.  The one I chose is a natural cork sprinkled with bits of a glittery gold. So pretty.  It was a dream to sew with.   Here is a link to the info page on the website of the Canadian cork supplier if you are interested in what cork fabric is all about.  It is very expensive so I just bought a small amount.  
Added a pieced one inch insert on each side.  


Fabrics are Tula Pink "Slow and Steady" with a bit of "Eden" thrown in too.

Hope you get time today to do something quilty!

  8. How did I miss this post? Guess I've just had my nose to the grindstone, working on someone's round robin! Congratulations to Anja! It's always such fun to be a winner! The cork Sew Together Bag came out great, Linda! I've made three STBs now, and I think that's plenty. They are fun, but labor intensive, at least for me. XO
