Well this is another month where I have been astonished by the number of photos I have to show you!
I have been painting flat wooden beads to match two colourful dresses
There was a great variety of show and tell at Chertsey as the ladies brought in projects they had finished
I finished two EPP (hexies and pentagons) balls
These are made in two halves: 10 hexies and 6 pentagons in each half, sewn together like this
I then experimented with other alternatives: One central hexi surrounded by pantagons (x2) makes a flattened ball
but a pentagon surrounded by pentagons (x2) makes a very satisfying little ball (I think these were 1/2 inch sides)
that with the help of a wooden base and a hot glue gun becomes a sweet little pin cushion
I managed to get to Jackie's for a few days. We had a go at making pouches with an internal pocket,
but I think I must have not been concentrating as I was handing her stuff to sew that had been assembled incorrectly so some handles were on the inside
We also mode some bags that would hold projects but I maganed to pin the zipwrong on one of them too😱
These two vinyl zippy pouches weren't too bad
I'm making a quilt for a friend from her B-i-L's shirts. I don't have space to spread the blocks out at home so take advantage for the village hall. All laid out
and the rows all stitched.
My Tula Pink EPP just about fits on the sitting room floor, but not much longer! I've got some purple to go in the triangles
And I have been working on a smaller EPP travel project. I've been making the flowers on and off this year and have now decided it's going to be a flower garden (my first). I found some 'grass' fabric and have started preparing grass hexies to be added to the flowers
Once they all have the grass I can lay them out and speed date them
Still on the subject of Hexies - I received the August swap flowers, and got mine posted just before the end of the month
