The machine stitched, the camera was out .The last hand stitching was done, and I searched for the best place to place the bag.
Would it be by the door? On a chair? By the shrubs? or in the garden next to the first red poppy of the season?
These are photos of the same bag, but daylight was fading fast.
This has been such fun to do, matching points a struggle at times, thank goodness for that 1/4 inch foot, and needle down stop position.
Sandy, again, thank you so much for this challenge, I can see we will all be having lots of fun next month , and the next, and more.
Not a quilt , not even a table runner, but the first of two bags, one for Mrs… one for Mr… his lining will be deep blue, to keep in the theme of “Blue for Boys”.

Hello Jean, your bag is lovely. And I like the quote, it is so true! Have a happy weekend!
I agree with your post.Match points is sometimes struggle but we got it.Your bag is super cute.
What a fun start your bag is for the One Block Wonder BOM! Pretty bags! I'm so glad I stumbled across Sandy's BOM.
That is a beautiful bag. You would love this town, we have a quilting guild, a knitting group, I'm sure sewing groups too, and of course, in the canyon we have our crochet group that I now belong to. So much fun.
really nice!
Really nice, Jean. The pattern reminds me of flying geese, don't ask me why! If you can find the time, I am sponsoring a Christmas Mug Rug exchange. Let me know if you can participate.
Blessings-Kimberly
It's really lovely! I love the pattern, and admire your talent!
I love it Jean no matter what color the boys will have. Carol
GORGEOUS, hon!!!
Nice looking bag!
It looks not only lovely but of a very useful size.
For matching points and seams I drag out the long, very fine glass head pins from Clover and sometimes piece using the walking foot. Another learning curve for this old dog :)
Your bag is beautifully fun, Jean. I'm enjoying all your quilting photos and information. Maybe down the road, I'll have time to indulge in this artwork. Right now ~ not enough time! That was one hell of a climbing clematis! Here, perhaps because it is so arid, they don't grow like that! I was glad to read of the update on how Hugh is doing after his surgery. I'm sure it is a gigantic relief to have the surgery behind him, strange feelings not withstanding. Loved you blossom-loaded trees and the quote about new endings! Enjoy the rest of your welcome spring weekend. Hugs!
That is so beautiful, and I am in awe of your talent!!!!
It's beautiful, Jean! What an excellent project. I should invent one soon.
I just love, love this bag. The colours look quite different in the two photos.. Sunlight and shade. Great picture.
