This bag is made from the scraps of my Bordered Peacocks quilt (which I haven't shown yet, because it's not finished yet). Don't worry, I haven't given away any fabric I should have kept - I only need to finish the decorative hand quilting on the Bordered Peacocks - it even has the binding on already.
I gave mum the scraps and the measurements of a bag I use a lot for meetings and work, and she came up with this! I was really thrilled with it. It even has a zip to hold all my stuff in when I have to put it 'under the seat in front' on a plane.
Even after making the bag there were still more scraps, so mum made a matching purse, mug rug and pin cushion for me.
The complete set:
So I received a lovely surprise on my birthday because mum had only had the fabrics about two weeks. I didn't think the bag would have been finished yet, let alone all the extras.

I love the blue and what a wonderful birthday gift!
That's not only a very lovely bag but very practical too. It's perfect for taking projects to quilt class/group with all the gorgeous extras. Now I know where your creativity comes from ;)!
can see Mum shared her talents with a needle with you, what a lovely set and the fabric used is so pretty
Gorgeous and I love the extras that go with it xx
Perhaps I should let your mum know when my birthday is??? :)
What a wonderful mum and wonderful bag. Love all the accessories that are with the bag as well! Beautiful

Congratulation to your Mum for making a wonderful bag. Sewing clearly runs in your family. The fabrics are beautiful and I look forward to seeing your Bordered Peacocks quilt when it's finished.
