The instructions for this technique were in a recent Homespun Magazine. They had a larger bag using 40 metres of 'rope'. I purchased 20m and used 13 for this bag. To be honest, I found wrapping the rope tedious with the result a smaller bag - will be used for bits and bobs. I probably will try it again, perhaps making a bowl, a placement, maybe a coaster!!!

BAG
One of the CQs, Gail W. shared this bag with us and I couldn't resist having a go. It is made using a hessian shopping bag from the local supermarket ($2). I only added the flowers, leaves and buttons - easy.

CQs Christmas
CQs have finished this year with breakups for the Night Owls on Tuesday night and the Friday Group last week. We did mug rugs for our Christmas swap. On Friday we had a competition for the best decorated table (my table won for the second year in a row!) - all at my table dressed up as elves and yours truly as Santa (or should I say Mrs Claus) and the table was decorated with toys, toys and more toys. It was great fun and we sang our version of a White Christmas (Quiet Christmas). We also had a competition for a decoration made out of recycles items. I had made a decoration from pieces of an old quilting magazine with the folded pieces mounted on an old CD. Elileen who won the comp had made the same decoration using pages from a telephone book - it was huge - as they say, size does matter!!!
