Finally, a summer finish reveal
I made two things this summer that I thought would be inconsiderate of me to show when I had actually finished them, but since this magazine is now arriving with subscribers (and in shops Tuesday)…
I can show you my Kantha tote bag 😀
I used some of the Rustique range by Emily Herrick and obnoxiously paired it with brown. The flap took a couple of attempts to make it the right length but I got there. It’s very simple and closes with a magnetic snap. The handle is adjustable and there’s an internal pocket, plus I’ve hand quilted areas in a Kantha style with perle. Yeah I hand stitched something and I liked it!
Here is the proof it’s in print…
And actually, this looks like an excellent edition of Quilt Now. I am going to be honest and say I didn’t really like the second one as much as the first, but this one is definitely on par with issue 1, if not better. There’s at least 2-3 projects I want to make from this magazine and I’ve only had a quick flick through.
There’s one more reveal to come that I’ve not posted on the blog. And the back of it is just about visible on the next issue page…

I agree with you. I did not like the second issue as much as the first. Glad to hear the third is back on track. Congratulations on being published in Quilt Now!

Love the orange, purple and brown combo (and you know how I feel about brown!)
I’ve been waiting for issue 3, hoping to pop into Tescos for it on Tuesday!
