With my crochet blanket coming to an end I've been itching to pull out some fabrics for a new project or 2. Firstly I've decided to join the Amy Butler sew along over on Sara's blog Sew Sweetness. I love both Amy Butler's fabric designs and patterns so this was an easy decision for me to make and of course there's the added incentive of some prizes involved :) I've already have 2 Amy Butler bags but they are both in blues so I think I need a pink one for this coming spring/summer season. The pattern I've decided on is the Blossom bag which is a free pattern that can be found here.
I'm also looking forward to finally starting on my yo-yo project for Penny's sew along that I signed up for a while back. I'm not sure how big I'm going to make this quilt yet but I have decided to use the above collection of fabrics because they are mostly small scale prints which I think would be nice made up in yo-yo's. I've had a lot of these fabrics for absolutely way too long just waiting for the perfect project. Some are vintage given to me from an Auntie, some were brought by my husband on a business trip to Portugal and some are Liberty prints and of course some I just bought on whim as you do when you like fabric :)
So looking forward to starting both these projects!

What a great bag pattern! Its way out of my league. I love the springy colours youhave choosen. We have had spring for the last few days.I am not ready for the warmer weather yet. The rain is supposed to roll in tomorrow afternoon. Thankfully after a certain boys soccer match.
Hi Catherine, what a great blog you have! I love both your pictures and your projects. You are very talented. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome! I can't wait to see how your bag turns out, I love those fabrics! Your yo-yo project sounds really interesting too!
