Hand appliqued bags

Here are some hand appliqued bags just finished by my friend Anne Hande. The linen bags are boxed and lined in lovely matching cotton fabric with inside pocket, buttoned handles and heart hand applique in crazy patchwork and edged in a little embroidery. The bags measure 16 inches from top to bottom and 11.5 inches across, great bag for all sorts of uses. Take a look at Whimsical's Wednesday wanderings for more bags.

Bag Chicks

Aren't these just so cute and clever, chicks made from plastic bags, what a great way to recycle these. A lovely surprise gift from my son and DIL from their trip to Cape Town. I love chicks, sheep and ducks and am thrilled to add to my small collection of such.
