Better late than never

I missed Allie's Christmas through the year this month by a day.  I became too busy yesterday to really get back to the internet (a regular occurence these days).  Anyway the only thing I really accomplished in June were these placemats and a few hot pads which I sent to my son Peter and his gal for Christmas in July.

For all you bloggers there are two neat drawsting bags I want to refer.  I can't wait to try both of these when things calm down!  The first is from Sarah's blog  and features a panel on the front.  Clever gal, I was wondering how she got such depth and it was simple, she quilts the panel!  The other bag is offered at Linda's blog and features a more elongated bag.  For both bags you will have to scroll down so check them out!

Off to start all my work, will check in when I can!

Better late than never is right, and I think you've been a wee bit distracted lately, girl!!! Your projects are lovely!

Gorgeous watermelon projects - I have some watermelon fabric in my stash that I should pull out ... I don't think anything says summer quite like watermelon!

I won Allie's giveaway for June *struts 'n smiles* :D Thanks for the drawstring bag links - I'm going to have a peek - I love making them - they're great gifts (the gift wrap that's a gift itself!), they're great for the environment and best of all - they're great stashbusters! ;)

I hope everything is going smoothly with mom, and I think Greta's picture should go on your sidebar ;)
