A Little More Pink

It’s the last Saturday for pink stitching for those of us working on the Rainbow Scrap Challenge with Angela at So Scrappy blog.  I had received some pink batik fabric in the mail when I did a trade with blog reader Karen recently, thanks Karen, so made three more pink cobblestone blocks.

Pink cobblestones for the month

More pink sewing has also been completed recently and I’ve made two little lined drawstring bags for the Foster Hope Charity – the foster kids can use these for toiletries or pencils and pens.  No cord is these two yet, as I was unable to find what I was looking for on my last trip out.

Two drawstring bags, still minus the cords

We are off next week on a three week road trip in the caravan, so when Angela announces the new colour for February, I won’t be starting till we return home.  Never mind, hopefully I’ll be able to catch up quickly.

Love your pink blocks.Enjoy your three week trip, I shall look forward to following your travels,they always bring back so many happy memories from our trip in 2009. While in New Zealand I bought a printed quilting panel of the New Zealand wild life, and the material for the borders, after 12 years I've finally got round to attaching the borders and the front is now complete. As we can't go shopping for sewing stuff at the moment I'm waiting for the batting to arrive from ebay before I can do any more.

Nice job with those pinks. And nice job with those drawstring (stringless :-) bags. You're so nice to keep making and giving things away. Hope you have another wonderful caravan trip, and have good weather!
