Some projects from The Simple Life

... as promised, it is time to reveal some of the projects from my new book... hope you like them!! This is the main quilt in the book which uses all 13 images. It was a breeze to put together too - not too much thinking involved!!

I wanted to make a bag that didn't sing too loud, but I did still call this bag 'Sing Bag' haha. I found these great buttons which have some amazing images on them and just HAD to use them!

I have labeled this 'Zippered Bag' as it can be used for anything, not just pencils!! I had fun using slightly brighter fabrics with this...it is still subdued though, I guess because of the linen fabic.

This is one of my favourite projects in the book. It opens up to reveal a bag which is great for storing your tape measure, project, threads, scissors or any othe bulky item. On one side flap of the bag are pockets for pens, scissors needle packets etc; and on the other flap, a needlebook for pins and needles.

There are more projects too, a wall hanging, bookmark and turtle pincushion, but I guess you'll just have to buy the book to see those wink wink.

I love your new book and your new fabric.

Your projects always make me smile. I use your fabric a lot and I make little gifts imagined by you very often.

Gorgeous book, Anni! When will it be available?

that Sing bag is really good. I'm lookin forward to getting hold of your book. I was able to get your last one locally, so fingers crossed!

Curiousity... do you really not like bright colours? your work is always very muted and faded in tone. but the embroideries are so fun and lively by contrast!

I will be lining up with bells on to buy this book. Love the reveal.
