Last week was our annual church auction. I had made some quilt tops last spring to donate, but only ended up giving one. I thought for sure I had a picture of the finished comforter, but now I don't see it here in my files. I'll have to check with the gal that bought it and see if I can get a picture of the whole thing finished.. but it was this one that I was working on..
The other quilt top I decided to keep and do something special with.. I'll show you that later. But since I didn't put that one in, I needed to make something else instead. So here are three bags. I love the browns and paisley in this one.. 
They are made of wool and corduroy.. stuff that I have here in the stash. 
this one has my favorite button.. 
I'm really having fun making bags. ☺ But today I started on another thing.. something to do with the fall season.. 
..using burlap, raffia, an old shirt and some old pant legs. I did get it finished and will take some pics and show you tomorrow.The sun is shining so nice here today. We had frost last night, so all the leaves are falling, and it is very pretty.
