October Finishes.
I am enjoying our beautiful Spring weather here in October. Gorgeous sunshine and the garden is very happy. I have continued to work on projects that need finishing. Several of those have been Wendy Williams patterns. This wall hanging is a combination of three different designs. Here they are before they were stitched together and […]
Snow People.
Thankfully we have no snow here, but it is possible, although very rare! My snow people are the woolly kind from a pattern by Bonnie Sullivan. This photo is deceptive because the piece is quite large, 45 X 14 inches, but of course is very hard to show in a photo. To show each of […]
A Flamingo And Some Extras.
Time to say good bye to September. And time to get moving with sewing plans. I seem to have a lot of projects on the go so I need a bit of an effort to finish some. First up is my flamingo embroidery. This is another of Wendy Williams Travel Threads patterns. Wool felt circles […]
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 […]
