I've been working on a random selection of stuff this week, as well as teaching 5 children's classes (separate blog post coming up)
Mt temperature embroidery is now over 2 metres long, and has already outgrown its wooden bobbin so I'm going to have to rethink its "home"!
I can only show it in a loose coil, so here are 5 lengths
and here are the alternate lengths
For quite a while now I've only been using the "hot" colours - lovely!!!!
I have finished the binding on this brick wall I-spy quilt,
And on this Mickey Mouse one. names can be added as appropriate
Thanks to Sharon who gifted me some rainbow cork I made a cork travel bag - room for change in the front pocket, passport, glasses and phone in the main pocket, and boarding pass in the real vinyl pocket, plus a front zipped pocket under the flap, and a rear zipped. I didn't line it, and I constructed it wrong sides together - just zigzagging over the sides and the edge of the flap with a rainbow variegated thread, I'm in love!
We made a crazy patch at the last Richmond and Kew Quilters meeting, with the idea we would decorate it at September's meeting. I'm going to be away for Septembers, and Avril was away for the last weeting so I handed my block over to her. In fact she might have to miss September's meeting too so she's already started decorating her / my / our patch: looking good Avril!
And Lizzy has been helping me make some coffee wraps: We've been having fun ready for the Church summer fair next Saturday
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.
