Happy Month of March

A Lavender and Linen Bag





















A Linen and Lavender Bag

This bag was inspired by the floral fabric that I used for the heart and drawstring casing. I have just a few small pieces of it and tried to think of a way to use them, since I liked the fabric so much. Here's what became of them.

Thank you very much for your comments -- merci beaucoup pour vos commentaires -- I haven't been very good lately at finding time to visit blogs. Please know that I haven't forgotten you. And I should write more often in French. If you knew how (very) slow I am when writing in French, though, you'd understand why I haven't. Oh, how nice it would be to sometimes have 48 hours in a day.

Hope the month of March has started well for all of you!

P.S. Just to follow up, the quilt status is -- 13 blocks done, 7 to go.

  10. Ce petit pochon est adorable. J'aime beaucoup le tissu. Vous avez bien fait de réaliser ce pochon avec les petits bouts qui vous restaient. J'adore les "petits détails" du cœur avec le zigzag et la surpiqure à la main. Bravo.
    Bonne soirée.
