My First Blog Hop

 I am so excited this is why I started this blog so I could join blog hops and make different things to what I would normally make, out of the comfort zone time.

So I have joined Carol from Just Let Me Quilt blog in the Into The Wild blog hop



So I had an idea for a project I wanted to make a sloth quilt, I couldn't find a pattern that I liked but I did find a tiger pattern then I looked at all the bits and thought about the time I had to make said quilt, we are moving 6 hours away to the country and we are moving ourselves no removalist's , and I thought maybe that can be a later on project, I have a lot of them. 
While we are travelling to and from the new place when it's light enough I crochet in the car so I thought I would make a Tessa bag for my crochet I think it is a pink stitches pattern, anyway I like the extended version so I made up a pattern from one I had made years ago, my patterns are all packed away. and I pulled some jungle type fabrics and started to sew.


                                    





I put a pocket in the lining perfect for a small pair of scissors and a crochet hook. Then I had a few scraps so I thought I can never have enough mug rugs so I did a quick QAYG mug rug too.



Here is the list of bloggers in the Into The Jungle Blog Hop

I am right there with you on blog hops. It pushes us out of our comfort zone. You did some fabulous stash busting with really fun wild colors and prints and now have a bag that will be easy to find. LOL!! I love the mugrug. What a fun way to play with scraps!

Hi Lianne! Awesome making skills! I’d like to follow your blog, but you need a couple of gadgets in your sidebar to make it easier for people. I can talk you through it when you are ready to add them.

Your bag is great! Welcome to blog hopping. I love them as well as they inspire me to create new fun things. I also like having assigned hop days too. I get in the sewing room more often since I know something is coming due on a certain day, which I like. Otherwise I find I waste time doing other things that are less productive.

Mudgee Weekend Away

 The weekend after the long weekend was Coolah Country Patchwork's weekend retreat in Mudgee. They rent a 6 bedroom house and off we go....
