Sun 12th Sept 2010 - 9th International Morsbagging Sunday

[I bag you]

Dear morsbaggers,

sorry for the short notice, but... how about having our 9th International Morsbagging Sunday next Sunday 12th September 2010???

Morsbags made in the past 8 Morsbagging Sundays:

January: 249
February: 163
March: 612
April: 256
May: 323
June: 100
July: 174
August: 161

At the moment our "high score" is 612 bags made in March 2010.
It's an amazing result, but I am sure we can do even better than that!


As always, all you need is some fabric (or already cut/ironed kits), your morsbag labels, a sewing machine, a pc (to let us know how many bags you're making in real time!!!) and maybe some good refreshments!






Hope to see you next Sunday!

I guess we're in - we'll be bagging at the Garden Party at Clarence House then.

You could always change the date to the 19th when you are at the garden party, Chiara. You never know who might pop along to join in!

[I bag you]

Mmmm... if you all agree, I think the 12th is still ok for me!

You never know who might pop along to join in!

A) David and Victoria Beckham? B) Paul McCartney? C) Bono? D) Mr. Bean? or maybe... E) YOU!!!
If the answer is E) then... YUPPIII!!!

I'm with the Beatties at Clarence House, so will see what we can do.

I'll be travelling down (?Up.....in Plymouth they say "Up the line" for anything outside Devon!) on Sunday

[I bag you]

Anyone else feels like joining us next Sunday?

[b.steadman]

I'm in, and have nothing planned for Sunday. Lots of kits cut and pressed, just got the sewing to do.

I'll be putting a few together, but not many as my honours thesis is due next month! Gulp!

[Ivybags]

I'm not really cheating.....but will be on the train up to London tomorrow, so I have done mine today.......so the starting grid is

10

[JenMeister]

Down under's contribution this month is modest... 2 Morsbags!

Here's why... I made a freezer-paper stencil of a piece of art my good friend made. I used the offcuts to produce a second (inverse) bag. These bags will be a gift for him, for a special occasion coming up!

The labels went on the back:

The material was a beautiful linen I picked up at the op-shop for next to nothing.

So that brings the total to...

12!

Love those bags - beautiful!

Thanks Sazzie

You did well considering you had a birthday on that day!
