I'm back with a couple more little projects.
This first project was a hannukah gift for my brother-in-law's family. It's a challah cover. Basically it's a mini quilt the size of a large napkin. I didn't put batting in the middle because I wanted it to have more drape so I just used a a layer of muslin instead. And as you can see I didn't bind it...I did the sew-around-the-edges-and-flip-right-side-out method.
The characters read "shabbat" if I did it correctly. I don't read hebrew. It's made of linen and scraps of print fabrics (all from my scrap bin!).
I quilted it with double straight lines inside the linen. The characters are raw-edge applique.
This one, I didn't make. My sister did. Isn't it the cutest? She gave it to my Aurora for christmas. It's a bag, and I think the pattern was in Crochet Today.
Did I tell you I finally started a craft night? I mean, really. Finally. So now once a month I get to get together with some lovely ladies and chat and craft. Fun! and hopefully productive too...

That chalah cover is very sweet, I love how colourful it is. And that owl bag, pretty adorable and looks like a lot of crochet hours went into it.

Your blog is great!
Lovely projects.
I run a craft night too - in a pub:) Isn't it great to hang out and socialise and come home with something made?!
