A Woolly Finish.
It has taken a while, But my Sue Spargo quilt, Tinsel, has been completed. It didn’t take too long to complete each of the blocks and even sew the blocks together. But when it came to the quilting, I was a bit stumped. It was around the time my machine was playing up and didn’t […]
Keeping Busy.
I have been keeping busy with quite a few projects, but it has taken a while to achieve a finish. That’s fine and of course with the cold Winter weather arriving, I am sure the finishes will follow. Cold equals time inside sewing! I have been hunting out all the charm packs that have been […]
New And Old Collections.
I have a new little Easter collection – this delightful group of felt Easter eggs. These have all been made using designs from Needle Finery, Elegant eggs. They are all made from wool felt and appliqued with DMC. Just out of interest, does anyone know of the origins of the designs with the rabbit carrying […]
Summer’s End.
Summer’s End sounds like it should be the name of a quaint English village. There I go. Off track and distracted before I even start! Okay, today is officially the last day of Summer for us, but it never feels like it. In fact I think March is one of the best weather months that […]
Hoops And Quilts.
It is definitely starting to get busy. Have you noticed? I think I was trying to ignore it, but it happened anyway. So in the middle of all that I did get some finishes. Two were UFOs. Hooray! The two hoop projects were embroideries designed by Kasia Jacquot. The first one is named Rebecca and […]
An October Update.
I sometimes think that when October begins we have a starter calling out Ready, Set, Go!. Everything gets busy all of a sudden. Lots of things are happening and there is always something to do. The obvious one for us is Daylight Saving coming in. And Spring seems to have found its feet and the […]
Lots Of Progress, But Only One Finish.
I often wonder if the Winter weather makes me take on projects that take a while to finish. Do I choose ones that are going to keep me inside where it is warm? Maybe I sub-consciously do. I have been keeping the needles working in the evenings to finish this jumper for Miss 10yo. She […]
Catching Up, Again!
I feel a bit like a stranger who has been gone too long. I know I have been busy, but hadn’t realised I had missed a whole month. Plenty of medical issues have kept me busy and none of them were mine. Lots of time has been spent in waiting rooms and next to hospital […]
A Little Catching Up.
I had set aside several projects prior to Christmas, but now I have decided they need finishing. First up, I completed the 4th, 5th and 6th of the Christmas decorations from Fig’n’Berry Creations. They are a delightful set. Here they are together. Next up, I need to move on with the centre block from my […]
Making Progress.
Little by little, progress is being made on a variety of projects. I had a little mini panic the other day when I realised how close Christmas was. So I got stuck into a few Christmas plans. These are small ornaments from Marg Low’s range. These Santa sack decorations are about 3 inches high. And […]
