October

Sandra has made this lovely bag. Some say it would be good for wine but maybe it has other uses.
Linda Has made this bag which caused a few headaches. The size in the book made an odd sized bag so we modified it and now a useful size.
Rae found this pattern in Karin Hellaby's book and bought the material and has made a super job of it.
Sylvia has modified a panel and added her own patchwork in the borders. She has also done some beautiful quilting but we can not see it in the photo.
Pauline has beaten me to it. We saw this pattern in the Heirloom quilting book and some of us decided to try it. The structure is very similar to Cathedral windows.
