Paper Owls.
Today I needed to spend some time catching up on card making. I had a few thank you cards to write so had a little fun in the process using the owl punch. They are cute little guys and seem to look good in most colours. I now need to find out if the punch […]
Borders Times Two.
My machine has decided to play funny games and as a result is waiting at my LQS for some maintenance. This means I am now using a very old and basic machine until mine returns. I can straight stitch and zig zag, but no FMQ or even stitch in the ditch. Oh dear! I have […]
A Tree With A Twist.
Over the last two weeks I have been able to attend a class to make this special Christmas tree. It is constructed in similar fashion to an Etui box. So it starts off looking like this. Then the little cap comes off allowing the sides to open and reveal the centre. The little box in […]
Do I Have A Parliament?
I know the collective name for a group of owls is a parliament, so I am wondering if my little group of 3 is considered a parliament. After making the one owl I posted about earlier I have continued to sew with felt to make several others. I think they always look good when they […]
Just Stitching Along.
Totally unrelated to sewing – but I have been enjoying the fun home page on Google today. I can’t help but push the buttons and play with the monsters. They are muppets to mark Jim Henson’s 75th birthday! Now back to my regular sewing. It seems to have been a busy week but I have […]
Thinking Of Quilts.
It’s really hard making decisions about which projects will come next. There are so many new patterns I want to do but I also have a lot of older patterns that I love too. They are quilts I have made many years ago but now want to make again in newer fabrics. Sometimes it is […]
Garden Maze.
This has been a very interesting quilt to make. None of it was hard as it was all straight sewing with squares and rectangles. What I did find interesting was that the pattern of interlinking squares didn’t become apparent until right at the end when the rows were sewn together. So even though I knew […]
An Even Dozen
I have managed to finish a set of twelve stitcheries from the Tis The Season booklet. I trimmed them down a little to tidy them up. I will tuck them away for a little while until I have time to turn them into a quilt. It’s good to see the photo posting correctly today. I […]
A Spring Bear.
Now that Spring has arrived we are having a chance to enjoy a little sunshine. It’s a perfect day to join Melody at The House On The Side Of The Hill for her Teddy Bear’s Picnic. We have to take the opportunity to enjoy the sun before the weather turns. I made this bear when […]
The Next Finish.
I am steadily working through my quilt sandwiches. Good to have another finish. I was happy just to quilt with a simple meander. Because I used this quilt as a bit of a trial run for strip tubing I decided to try out a few things I don’t normally do. I have always hand stitched […]
