ta da.............

Well of course it was a bag........I brought the charm pack from a stall at the Stitches and Craft show and they gave me this free pattern for the bag - Maggie Robertson Designs - Carole's Bag

it was fun to make and I have never done prairy thingy's and they were fun and easy..................

caught the chooks in the backgroud when I went to take the pic.........

here are the chooks and the umbrella grass in their yard.......

and I found a flower and umbrella grass.........poor little geranium.......

take care...........

Oh very nice. I'm glad you have managed to get a little sewing done away from all that umbrella grass. Lovely pattern and fabrics.

That bag's great Chooky - I think I have the pattern too!! I must try it. Been wanting to try those prairie "thingies" for awhile now. LOVED seeing all those chooks. Keep working on that blasted grass!

Cindy said...

Your bag is great - I really should try doing those "prairie thingies" too - they really add a lot. (I really like that fabric too!) I love your farm pictures - don't envy that umbrella grass, though!

Jodie said...

Hey Chooky- that bag is great ! The prairie "thingy's" look fantastic. I'll take your word for it that they are easy.
