Hey girls, thought you might like to see the Cute Critters Purse I have almost finished crocheting.

Plus, theres a picture to come of my latest “ufo”.  Its a hexagon quilt made over papers (the old fashioned way) and its taken a year.  I havent picked it up for ages because of my other hobbies but its one of those “when I have got the money, I will do some more”.  There are 1,000 hexagons on it so far but its going to take about 5,000 hexagons to finish it because I have got a king size bed.

Love Sues

I have been promising myself to make a quilt like that for years. I get the crocheted ones done quicker though. Yours is beautiful, keep at it. The bag is lovely too.

Sues...that quilt is ‘pure dead brilliant’ as the Scots say.  You are certainly putting a lot of work into it...a BIG WELL DONE

I just love the quilt.  I have tried to do one, but lost patience before I’d got 50 sewn together.

Hi ladies,

Thanks for your kind words, have had 2 orders already for the cute rabbit bag.  Am currently near completing a knitted cushion cover in black with popcorns on them.  But I like the bunny tail so much it will look good like a flower sewn on the front of the black cushion.  Will post a picture when its done.

The heel cream is brilliant!  Its dear but does the job because my heels were in a mess.

At the rate I am going, I havent picked up my patchwork for over 6 months so I may end up a LOL before it is finished. My dog tammie will always lay down to stop me from doing things.  She lays right on top of my wool if I have picked it up.

The pattern for the bag is from a book called “Cute Critter Purses to Crochet.

I bought it from Readicut.co.uk on line, the ISBN No. is 978-1-60140-450-3

Its an american book.  If you go on leisurearts.com they have free projects, books reviews and tips etc.

Cee ya, Love Sues
