scrap bag designs

I have decided to have a few days off from college work, so while I contemplate how to use my precious beach finds I've started another new project - I've got a list of unfinished projects which have to be completed by a mythical deadline so another one added to the list wont do any harm...

This one complies with my not allowed to buy any more fabric condition - its using up scraps which I didn't buy but was donated by my talented sister in law - check out her facebook page - Bags and tags Linda G - the title is misleading it should say ''adorable clothes made out of funky fabric for little and sometimes big people as well as bags and tags''....

Anyway you get the picture and the best bit for me is that when she visited me with Stan the Dog and her partner, my bro, Rob, last week she brought me a bag of scraps... so not technically bought so not technically added to my fabric stash!!!!

so from the picture above to the picture below - a lovely quilt for my eldest granddaughter, All from scraps except a sheet for the backing...and actually finished!!!

Scotland part 2

The second half of the week continued in much the same vein. We had one rainy afternoon which was actually quite nice to be holed up in the house with the rain lashing the windows.

Funchal

So after three days at sea we finally hit Funchal in Madeira. An escape from the ship, and I have to say it was very pleasant indeed. First of all the weather is really splendid. Especially when you know that everybody else in the UK is suffering grim storms and vile winds.. Over here it is between 22 and 25 degrees is really quite warm. Funchal is a pretty city. It's built on a hill it with lots of lovely white houses with stunning red roofs. In order to get the best of it we walked along the sea front until we got to the cable car and we took it up the hill. It was a really good ride much longer than we imagined and it's quite weird because it goes right through the town - completely over everybody's house... So not only do you get a lovely vista of the bay but you can view the beautiful rooftops and get to look in everybody's gardens and to look at their picnic sets.. clean washing nice plants... scratty backyards.... We got off th
