The EPP Ferris wheel I showed earlier was one of a couple of sewing projects I took on holiday to Lanzarote this last ten days. The Ferris wheel went as far as it could go with the fabric that I brought, but I had a standby project too
I made this sweet sixteener before I went, and make sure I had the right colour threads to quilt it. Lots of stitches (and holes in the tip of my middle finger - I forgot a thimble) later it now looks like this
And the back looks like this
I didn't do much shopping - but what joy: I bought a linen dress and it came in a pretty fabric bag make from recycles sari fabric: Shopping, pretty bag and recycling - a combination that made me very happy
And a rubbish pic of a window in another shop - I just loved the colours!
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
