another bag and a finish for my bed and lots of photo's

A friend in Switzerland likes sheep, so I hope she likes and gets a laugh from this bag.
















 A close up of some of the sheep knitting!









I finished this last week,I started piecing it at a retreat back in May. These quilts are always fun to make. I made mine a bit bigger than the pattern...Buggy Barn, Quilters Village. 109" x 80" as I wanted it to go over my pillows.
The bulk of the fabric is Kansas Troubles except for a few and the border fabric.


Please click on this one if you want to see the feather border. The rest of the quilting was open meander using Signature variegated thread. I used Bamboo batting and flannel backing and my thanks goes to Bonnie Hunter for the idea for the label.

  3. Did you use pen on your label - or is it some sort of flash stitching??

  4. Love the bag and the quilts in your post today. I have made one buggy barn quilt pattern - the one with the dogs and dog houses. It about drove me crazy as I like things to match up and I just had the worst time getting a handle on the buggy barn technique. But the quilt made up nice and my grandson loves it and that is what matters.
