~~~~~
Today I finished the final design for Issue 5 of Elefantz HOME magazine.

"The Shabby Rose Bag"
Applique and stitchery in pastel pinks, blues and greens...
The pretty ruffle on the pocket adds another feminine touch...
  
The perfect size for carrying about...
  
A special treat for self, or perhaps a gift?
 
I can't wait to take it shopping! 
Hope you like it too. 
~~~~~
My "Circles of Life" BOM has been very popular in the magazine, and just the other day I received photos from Catherine in France who had finished the first three blocks. They are beautiful!
If you've been stitching your blocks I'd love to see a photo or two when you finish!
~~~~
Jeanette made my Shabby Roses Quilt and sent me a photo of it finished, quilted and bound. Gorgeous!
In my remake of the "Shabby Roses Quilt" I have completed 9 of the 12 blocks. It seems funny stitching it all over again, and especially in such different colours to my original. For the first few remade blocks I almost changed my mind and scrapped them, BUT, as I get closer to finishing I have begun to love the new colours.
The new fabrics are from Tilda, and much brighter than the soft pastels of version 1.
I have made one other change to the quilt. The original "Believe" block was this one...
This is the new "Believe" block...
Which one do you like best?
~~~~~
Mr E comes home on Sunday so I think I'll get my fingers working tomorrow and finish writing the magazine so I can spend all his time back home with him. 
I hope your weekend is a wonderful one!
Hugs
Jenny

Congrats to all the winners!! Oh Jenny-girl your new bag is so lovely! The little ruffle just tickles me....DARLING! Love Catherine's version of your Circles of Life, very sweet, and so is Jeanette's Shabby Roses. I love both Believe blocks, Jenny, but I think I'm partial to the Tilda colors....so scrumptious. Enjoy having Mr. E home!
