This year is quickly drawing to an end but I still have a few projects that I would like to be done by the end of the year...
1.  Jungle Plus quilt- needs to be quilted.
 2. Wrapped in Jamie crochet - I am a little behind in these squares so I need to catch up over the next few weeks...
3.Coral Swiss quilt - most of the pieces are cut for this, now just to sew it all together.
4. A glittery purple dragonfly shawl - pattern by Maria Bittner on Ravelry.
 5. A Wildrose Market bag - Pattern by All about Ami. Using some Lionbrand 24/7 cotton by which is very nice to crochet with.
6.Madagascar baby quilt: using a few of the animals from the Spectacular Savanna quilt (Alex the lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the giraffe & Gloria the hippo).

7. Kartupo cotton Dragonfly scarf: using the Dragonfly bandana cowl pattern by Maria Bittner (Pattern Paradise) on Ravelry.
8. Tula Pink Hurray for Hexies quilt: most of the hexagons are now sewn together...

Dragonfly shawl

This dragonfly crochet shawl is such a lovely design as the dragonflies just seem to float amongst the crochet.
 The pattern is by Maria Bittner on Ravelry and is quite an easy one to do.
The colours in this yarn are so pretty and show off the dragonflies so well. 
This was on my Q3 FAL 2019 list so linking up with the 2019 FAL team.

Wildrose backpack

A beautiful crochet pattern from All about Ami is the Wildrose backpack.
I have used a denim blue coloured Eco-cotton by Annette Eriksson for this backpack.
The Wildrose square features in the centre of this bag and it is a lovely design.
I also found my long lost "gemini-stitches" leather tags so was able to stitch one onto the finished backpack.
And when we were taking photos down by the river, I spotted a little koala up in the nearby gum tree.

Wildrose Melon Market bag

Just in time for spring, I have finished crocheting the Wildrose market bag from All About Ami.
I chose to use some Caron cotton cakes in Blushing Melon which is a really pretty colour combination.
The pattern uses the same Wildrose granny square as in the Wildrose backpack so before long I had all 13 squares made.
I can see myself getting plenty of use from this cute bag as it is such a great size.
And perfect to use for a market bag or just as a fun beach bag...
