It's amazing what can be achieved after you spend the weekend with an inspiring group of fellow quilters.
The gathering was the Autumn Quilt Camp organised by Karen of Mrs Martins Quilt Shop. It was a wonderful weekend full of great company, fantastic food and of course lots & lots of sewing. I definitely want to sign up for the next one! Hmmmm i wonder how i'm going to break it to the DH?
Anyway all those ladies working on their different projects gave me the little push i needed to finish something that has been hanging around for YEARS. Something that should have been finished and SWAPPED before returning to Australia. However due to my silly habit of getting projects 90% finished and then stopping because i didn't want to ruin it at that point, it sat and waited for the handles to be attached!
I haven't sent it yet because of the guilt factor!
I have to find some suitable "forgive me" items to include in the bag and then i shall be done, it shall be mailed and i can wipe it off my list once & for all.
Hopefully i can put my wicked ways behind me and make a fresh start.
No more projects collected this year!!! Only thing is, that doesn't mean i can't start new ones, if i already have the projects kitted up ! **G**
Which means i CAN start :-
Summer's Bouquet
Nice People, Nice Things
My Swell Jelly quilt
I just hope there is enough time in the year!

nice bag
Your bag is great. Glad you got it finished. Sounds like you had a nice weekend.
Glad to hear you had a good time at Autumn Camp....the bag looks great! Camp sounds like a good place to get a project (or two) finished!
Hi Nic - your bag looks great! So nice to get things finished. I mucked up the zip in my "My Things" bag so its hiding... it only counts when you buy new things too
