Stitchy Time

Somehow in the last few days I have managed to fit in a little sewing time- in all fairness, Mr HOC was away for work last night.  I took advantage and stayed up late, and completed these flags for the To Boston With Love campaign for the Modern Quilt Guild.
Boston flags, just need to add EMMQG tag and forward to @trudi_wood
and the back...
And the flag backs. 
There are some amazing flags in the Flickr pool, and they are going to look fantastic adorning the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
I really enjoyed just randomly cutting and sewing these, and I only wished I had more time, I might have done some hand quilting on them, it was calling to me to do it, maybe for the "next" project!

A little progress was also made on the first side and pocket of my Weekender Bag- which is good really as I want to have it done in time for the next meeting of the East Midlands Modern Quilt Guild, on the 1st of June, just 2 weeks on Saturday- best get my skates on then!!!
One side of Weekender and pocket done, first piece laid for side 2.
Til next time...

    Himself should go away more often so you have more time to sew ;o)

    You will have to post the flags straight away as they have to be in Boston MA by 21st May (but perhaps you already have!). The weekender is shaping up well

    I like staying up late sewing if I'm on my own! The flags are pretty

    The instructions for the Weekender are bewildering me but then I was just looking at them and not trying to follow them, let me know if you find them OK.

    Reminds me I need to upload my flag to Twitter, I went for a crazy applique style...

    The flags are lovely and cheerful, and the weekender is going to be great. I also take advantage when the husband is away, makes you almost wish he was away a bit more ;-)

    Did you see that Wendy from The Crafter's Apprentice made her Weekender Bag in 1 day? So you might be in with a chance of getting it done in time!!! :)

    ahhh, those flags are pretty! You'd better have your Weekender done or we won't let you in the door! I had forgotten I was supposed to be taking mine for show and tell!
