The target for this month
…is to finish my Weekender bag! well as far as The Lovely Year of Finishes goes anyway. It will be a busy month as I want to finish the quilting on Wallander and I also said I would finish Hello Chevrons for the Finish A Long and there are only 29 days left of this quarter! Not sure how well that will go…
My bag in pieces…
And I have started sewing it together if I’m honest, I’ve made the straps and piped the pockets so far, I’m at the point where I am going to stitch on the straps and attach the pockets to the main bag panels. Should be a doddle. I’m quite confident with the instructions now I’m following them along.
In other news I received my last row in the Popular Patchwork Row by Row swap which is another swap thing ticked off. I’m thinking of arranging my rows unconventionally and adding a bit more black negative space. Here’s a layout I’m thinking of (minus photobombing dog)…
And I didn’t feature in the top 10 on Spoonflower for the Mod competition unsurprisingly as there were some fantastic entries, however I’m in the frogs one too, here’s my design:
The voting page is here for this one, thank you! (I’ve not managed to get the page to open for me, hopefully you will have more luck)

Did manage to go and vote, I must say there are some very strange ones out there! Looks like your bag will be gorgeous (even if Ange sees brown or maybe because of it?), and I am looking forward to see how the black negative space will work out in the row by row quilt!

Good luck with all your finishes – I’m just getting back to normal after exams and finished my long neglected curtains today! Woooo!

Good luck with your list! I’m just accepting the several things that won’t get done on my list this quarter, so many ideas, so little time!
