What was your inspiration?

In a local shop I did a class on the kaleidoscope technique. When my brother then got married last summer I decided to use this newly learned technique to make them a picknick blanket with a matching bag to put the blanket in.

For the bag I used a weaving pattern.

What are you most proud of?

This was my most challenging project to date and it came out quite well. Also my brother and his wife loved the gift.
