Lavender bags



A few weeks ago I received some lavender branches when I bought something at a market stall. I dried them and digged up some of the leftover squares from my Lilac Baby Quilt (which has been sold to a customer in Canada, how exciting is that?!). Using plain calico for the back, I made some lavender bags:



They smell divine and look so pretty!



Sadly I've now run out of lavender. May try to grow some in our garden!



Meanwhile there is a lot of purple everywhere you look in Brisbane at the moment, as we are in the middle of the jacaranda season. Here is a collage of some photos I made in the last few days. Enjoy!

Love your cute lavender bags. I made one recently out of a left over block. I put it in the freezer and used it as a cold pack when I had eye surgery. Worked well. So light. The bag now lives in the clothes dryer and adds a lovely perfume to clothes!
