I got to sewing with BLUES...

OH SCRAP

I tipped all my scrap blues out for my next project.
I was on the way to make 2 special laundry bags for Aussie Heroes.

What a pile of scraps...

I came across this great tutorial for the ANCHOR block.
Jennifer has done a brilliant job with step by step photos and instructions.
They are very accurate and easy to follow.
I will definitely make more of these if needed. 
As you can see I have used all different scraps too.

A good size sailing boat.

The anchor pattern bag looks great.


So here you can see lots of blue work happening.

I order what colour August will be...

What a fantastic bag. One would think that you had purposely planned to use those fabrics rather than picking out from your scraps. You've got another amazing finish. Thank you for sharing! --Andrea

Thanks for sharing that link with ScrapHappy Saturday over on Angela's So Scrappy blog!! I collect various anchor themed blocks and am pleased to have an easy one.
