Sanctuary bag.......


This pattern is the Flea Market Bag - Grand Revival Pattern by Tanya Whelan
Perfect spring bag..........

When I saw this piece of heavier weight fabric from one of my favourite lines Sanctaury by 3 Sisters for Moda I had to buy it and even better it was 1/2 price (and extra wide)................then to decide on a pattern and the lining fabric. Lining is Look and Learn by American Jane for Moda. Went perfectly..........


love this grevillea...........

sometimes you just don't see everything in a photo when you take it until just now I was looking at this photo and found a snail on a leaf...........nice surprise when I was trying to get the hydrangea so I cropped it a bit........



Take care til next time Chookyblue..............

Very nice bag. I have just severely pruned a shrub that was a veritable feast & nursery for snails!! I hope they dont invade my lettuces instead...

Oh no you have my bug. lol Love the bag. I was looking at that one this morning.
Hydrangea's are my favorite ( and the snail by the looks) But I dont deem to be able to grow them. Hope one day

Really like the bag - especially the polka dot lining. I love hydrangeas but it's fall here - have to wait until next spring until I can enjoy them again.

Love the Flea Market bag and grevillias

Really beautiful flowers. We do have many flowers and foliage in Sri Lanka but not so many of such soft shades!

I have done a similar bag as a christmas pressie!

it is very pretty. American Jane's more basic fabrics in her ranges are very versatile, love them!
Gorgeous grevillia.
