Hello
Today I am joining in "Colourful Friday" but first I want to share a project I have just finished. My "Love You" Tote Bag. This is from Natalie Bird's book "A Thankful Heart" which I recently purchased.
I used a fat quarter that I had and used matching Homespun on the other side. Pink Gingham was used for the lining and ties on the side. I quilted around the letters and on the other side I used my "Wavy Edge" ruler to draw some lines and quilted on these. This bag is just the perfect size to put a magazine in,so great to take a small project if you have some waiting to do.
All throughout Natalie's book there are little sayings. On the tote bag page is this one. Enjoy.
Love
I am thankful for Love.
For Loving and being Loved.
For kisses and hugs, and gentle loving whispers.
I am thankful for the love of my family and friends, the deep abiding Love that my soulmate,
and the wonderous unconditional Love that I have for my children, my greatest blessing.
Now for
"Colourful Friday" Robyn chose the subject "Leaves". Wasn't it lucky we are in the midst of Winter otherwise my photo's might be brown. Lots of different textures and colours were found in the vegie garden. Plus I do like looking at the spider webs with all the dew drops early in the morning. Thanks Robyn for choosing a great subject to photograph this week.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend.
Happy days.

Thanks for dropping by today. I love your collage...Your vegetables are looking very verdant. I'm yet to grow anything more edible than herbs. A fun 'leaves' post! TFS.
I thought the challenge for this week would be right up your alley! You must have had fun in the garden. Lots of lovely leaves.
And your tote is gorgeous, too.
Hi Bev,
Beautiful bag... must be a lovely book.. I really enjoyed the little piece from it..
Your leaves look lovely ... so pretty and fresh and I just love your tote.... such a clever picture too...

great tote and totally loved the saying,well done on your project
Lovely bag Bev, you're so clever with the photo too ...... I'd love it if the leaves in my garden looked that healthy at the moment.
Hi Bev,
You are so creative and achieve so many finishes. I love the rose you featured in your last post.
Really cool photo Bev and very sweet tote bag. Your leaves look very healthy and happy and that's a lovely saying.
Very lovely :)
Your tote bag is very sweet!
I didn't even think of leaves in the vege patch ... was thinking more of trees, shrubs etc.
What a sweet little tote! One day I will try an applique project with letters/words.
Love the leaves collage - such a great idea for inspiration. I think leaves can be so interesting to look at and watch then bud and grow and change with the season.
I love the bag, and the saying. Great leaf photos...also beautiful rose in previous post. Tarcey

The Duchess is a beautiful rose can't say I have seen it before. It is a bit like the Pierre De Ronsard who I just found out was a 1700 sonnet writer. Love your Cathryn Baynes Laundry bag,she does lovely patterns as does Natalie.
Beautiful loving words!
