April didn't give me much time behind my sewing machine, but I did finish a couple of projects and that's always a good thing.
I finished 17 of these lined drawstring bags although I've been working on them since March. This was the first batch:
And here's the 2nd:
I'll bet I've made close to 100 of these bags through the years. I even laminated the pattern because I use it all the time. For the most part, I've used Christmas fabrics, but with this last batch, I concentrated on making them for general gift giving. You can find the pattern here: Lined Drawstring Bag
I also finished this VFW Donation Quilt
And stitched the binding down on this Amish Farm Baby Quilt
I've still got 2 quilts here to bind so hopefully there will be a few finishes in May.

Some nice finishes for you Karin. Glad you're getting a bit of sewing time in. Have a great day!
WOW!! You've had the pedal to the metal!!! I just got outta bed a little bit ago and I'm already tired after reading all you've accomplished JUST in the sewing department!!!
That's a nice lot of sewing for the month!! Thanks for the pattern link. Congrats on you TWO lovely quilt finishes!
What cute bags--I just ordered the pattern!
Don’t short change yourself, you got a lot done in April! I thought your QOV top looked familiar! I made that quilt top for QOV too! I haven’t had my quilted yet. I like yours much better the way you placed the red and blue. Mine is more random like the pattern. If I make another one, I will copy yours! Your baby quilt is so cute!
I like all the bags you made. Some lucky person will be happy to receive your QOV, and your baby quilt is so sweet. Hugs,
Beautiful bags!!
Very productive month!!!
That is a great bag pattern! I've used it many times myself. Great way to use up a few larger scraps, too!
