I can only assume I've watched more TV that usual as I've certainly done more hand sewing than usual!!!
I've tacked a whole load of clam shells (thank you Plum for the templates)
And I've put together all the parts of "Not La Passacaglia". No, I don't love it, but that sometimes happens. Some people manage to make scrappy quilts that work, and I clearly haven't got the knack! Still I'll get it onto a fleece and I'm sure the cat will love it!
After the disaster that was the sizzix Plus template I decided I'd have to make my own. Luckily Wild Olive had done all the hard work so I just needed to resize until the templates were suitable for my fabric pieces - and here are the first 7 full pluses. I AM enjoying this project!
I'm also enjoying my temperature spool wrap: It's due to get colder for a few days so I might get to use some new colours!
We had a great morning at Stitch and now have a big pile of shields: just needing liners and bags to add to make complete kits and soon we can start sending some off
And a few more rope bowls happened to happen. They seem to decide on their own shape: I expected these to be the same but clearly they had different ideas!
I needed to fall back in love with my sizzix so I played with some felt and made some flowers
I'm not sure why I didn't post this pic from Crafty Church - we had a lovely afternoon! There was knitting and crochet and beading and necklace making and needle felting! Unfortunately I didn't get pics of everything. My favourite part was Lucy (mum of two teenagers) being taught how to crochet by Daisy (age ten)! Lucy now has 2 crochet projects on the go!
And the last photo is of samples I have made for Chertsey Museum's Fun With Fabric on Friday
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.
