So, a while back I teased you with a non-descriptive photo of my February bag for the BQL Bag challenge - as a moderator on the list, I get to test the bags out early, but of course, I can't show them until the actual month. And now that it's the actual month, I can at last show this lovely bag, hoorah! So, here it is. The lining fabric is an art nouveau print I've had for a while, but have never been sure what to do with; the outside fabric came from one of the quilt shops I visited in San Diego. I really like this bag, though it's not my normal style. Not sure what I will do with it, but I sure had fun making it.The BQL Bag Challenge has its own blog (what doesn't, these days) - come check it out!
And another reveal - these are the three sample blocks I made for the February block lotto on the quilting forum on about.com. This block lotto also has a blog you can visit.
As I probably won't get much work done today with one thing and another (though all the kids are back in school - hoorah!) it's nice to have something I can show...

Beautiful sewing as always Kate! Love the bag. Lucy x
The bag is great--love the lining fabric. How was the show?
yep I pulled off the instructions this morning - and of course Feb's a short month so I'd better get cracking. It's not my usual type of thing either so I shall have to think long and hard about what fabric to use so I love it so much that I do use it - Kandy is very good at stretching us outside our comfort zone
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that bag, Kate! Thanks for sharing!
Love the bag!
the heart blocks are cute, they look like they would be fun to make!
