It's Dilly Bag Show & Tell Time!
No more dilly dallying - it's time to show off the Dilly Bags I made recently...
Judy Newman's Dilly Bag pattern made making these bags a breeze. I think you can guess that I had a lot of fun picking out the fabrics.
Introducing the Red Top bag
with it's fun heart circle bottom.
It has happy word lining to whisper lovely things to the projects it contains, and a delicious pocket.
By chance a lot of the feature hexagons on this bag have friends on them. A pair of children, a circus ringleader with his horse and there are some others on the other side too. As I sewed these hexies together I came to think of it as the Friends Bag.
This little teapot says it all.
I love the whizz fizz summery colours of the other bag.
It features happy things like bike riding and little scottie dogs, spots, dots and flowers.
and a fussy cut flower underneath.
Hidden inside is green leafy lining and more cute pockets.
I couldn't decide which ribbon to use so I used a combo.
The bags are the perfect size for a carrying around a hand crafting project and it's notions , but it's tricky to be able to tell the size of things in photos sometimes so to give you an idea Rachaeldaisy Barbie offered to stand in as a model.
If you're in the mood for a story here's a link to the Colourful Hexagon Adventure that I wrote last year inspired by these hexagons.
This Giveaway is now closed - Congratulations to Dzintra, Queen Of the Armchair.

I'll put the names into a Dilly Bag and draw a winner randomly in 2 weeks. that's the 2nd of May, 5pm Sydney time.

Yes please, what an awesome giveaway. I like the Unexpectedness of the plaid top ....
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome giveaway! So generous and sweet.:) Love the one with the plaid top especially although both are wonderful! I have a weakness for plaid and scrappiness together. lol
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary! Fabulous bags. Would be delighted to receive either one if lucky enough to win. Just signed up for your email.

Yes, please! My favourite is the plaid top (but only by a whisker). Happy Blogiversary!
ReplyDeleteOMG! I was just admiring your bags and at the end of the post was such a good news! I would love to win the Red Top bag. Happy Blogiversary!
ReplyDeleteLovely Dilly bags so yes please!!! And they both look great so I can't choose one!
ReplyDeleteYes please :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat fun !
My favorite is the plaid one, because of the green ribbons. Green is my favorite color :-)
These are gorgeous. I do love the detail in all the fabric hexies. Such a lovely project! How can you bear to give one away?
ReplyDeleteOf course I am going to say yes, please! And it is no surprise that I will say the red topped bag.
I hope you have a lot of fun with your give away!!
Yes, please--the red one calls to me. I'll use it to carry around my own hexie project. Thanks for the hexie adventure story.

Oh yes please!! What a generous giveaway Rachael! I love BOTH your delightful dilly bags, but if push comes to shove (sorry, this giveaway could get ugly!) I think the red lining and its 'afternoon tea' pocket wins me over! I love Barbie as a model too- I might need to use one of mine in a fabric post! Happy blogiversary- I always look forward to reading about what you are up to!
ReplyDeleteYes, please!!!! They are both lovely, so it would be very hard to choose one. Perhaps the plaid topped one? But the red topped bag is equally pretty.
ReplyDeleteOh yes please!! Plaid top. I am a BMD follower. Thanks for hosting this give away. Mrscummings2u at Gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteOhmy, yes, please! Definitely the plaid topped bag--so cute! hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteYes please..your bags are simply gorgeous, there is just something about a cute dilly bag, I think that the red top one is my favourite..it must be the spots.. and a happy blogiversary to you..

ReplyDeleteyes please! I love them both but would choose the red top bag! Happy Blogoversary, I'm a GFC follower!
ReplyDeleteYour RachaelDaisy Barbie is divine! And yes, please - I love both bags (you have the BEST fabrics!!), but would probably choose the red topped bag (even though the plaid has the wonderful bike with banana seat). Both bags remind me of the 'essence' of you!!
ReplyDeleteYes please... red top.
ReplyDeleteThese are too cute Rachael ! How many years have you been blogging ?

YES, PLEASE!!!! How could a quilter choose? Both bags are perfectly adorable, and you do such a lovely job of fussy cutting and focusing on the sweetest part of each fabric. I love your attention to detail -- it is what sets you apart. In the end, though, I'm a "red" person, so if the choice must be made, I choose Red Top with all its happy pairings.
ReplyDeleteYes, please! Your bags are delightful and your give always is so generous. I'm loving the red topped bag full of friendly thoughts.

Just picked up a Judy Newman quilt kit at the show here in Melbourne...its the Alice in Wonderland with Liberty accents ...be still my beating heart...actually not too still, cos I may faint. The bags must have been fun to make.

These bags are an absolute delight!! how cute!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how big they were and then along came Rachael/barbie to let me know! :)
you are too cute. I love them equally.
I won your last kitten fabric giveaway, so don't add my name. I'm lucky enough to be your friend and to be inspired by all you do!
xoxo
Yes, please! You are kind to part with 2 labors of love. Both look like Friendship-bags to me! The plaid top has colors that make me sing and I love the two different ribbons (I can never decide either :=) so that one edges out the red-top teapot dilly, ever so slightly for favorite.
ReplyDeleteWhoopsie! Well, giving one and keeping one sounds Much more reasonable. I know how long you've been working on at least the first one :) You better keep one!
DeleteYes, please! Lovin' the red top one. These are just adorable! It makes me want to make 1 (or 2). I'm following on bloglovin' Thank you, peterstankovich@comcast.net
ReplyDeleteYes please and of course the plaid top esp since I just finished a 3 day tartan weaving workshop!! A RACHEL DAISY BARBIE? she screamed! :) Thanks for the link to the pattern.
ReplyDeleteYes please. Thank you for the chance to win such a lovely bag. If I should be lucky, I would love the red top, please.
ReplyDeleteYes please Rachael, I just love the dilly bag with the red top - it reminds me of the one that I started and never finished last year (must get back to that!), but yours is brighter. Thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteYes Please, Rachel!! I love your hexagon bunny story: it was very creative and a fun read! And I'd love the plaid top: Love plaids!! Hugs, H in Healdsburg
