This is the finished bag I made for ********* in Linda's bag swap.
I hope she likes it.
I felt really sad to see it go. I just hope it arrives safely and that the mail services in both countries look after it well.
Here is the back. I didn't have time to do the same stitching as on the front so did this design. It is from a quilting stencil I have.
I bought these fabrics to make a birthday pressie for my Dad. It felt strange buying this colour pallette as I'm a girlie colour type of girl. I didn't think he would appreciate pink though! I'll show you what I made in my next post as I can't get the camera to load onto the computer. Hubby is off playing football and I need him to sort it out - as he does with most things!

I agree, that bag is stunning! Will be interested to see what you make for your dad (I've been at a loss so far to come up with any present ideas for men!)

Beautiful bag! And I really like the color palette you bought for your dad's quilt. Can't wait to see what you make.
Congratulations, beautiful bag, such coordinated colours, lucky person who receives it. Can I ask where did you get those lovely colours from for your dad's quilt. I'm still sourcing fabric, some companies either don't send to Crete or are incredibly expensive.
Take care
