2025 May

 Hello June!

Well you'll be surprised to know this month is full of photos 😂

Completed "show and tell" felt birds from the Chertsey Ladies



And the start of slouch bags

My ridiculous to-do list

But a few finishes

Including the binding on the new hive quilt


This is a dresden plate flimsy that came over from Jackie's a long while ago.  I have finally embroidered  dresden plates on the blank blocks, but I'm not sure they show on the photos


I did a few patches (they are now off the to-do board)


and a few customer embroideries




Then I hopped on a plane to Ireland with the Dresden Plate flimsey: it's now been layers and basted so over to Jackie to quilt

And this is ready for quilting too

We don't get many pics of us, but this was a nice one


We made some project pouches



I have finally finished the tiny grandmother's flower garden: not sure what I'll do with it though


Hayley, Jane and I had a play with some fabric paints (thank you Val)


I really love the heliotropic qualities when you try things in the sun!


A friend brought us some donated quilts, and I managed to snap up this one (this pic shows half)

Deep breath and lots of measure twice checking and I cut it! First like this

Then a bit more detail

and now I have a quilted jacket!

but the most amazing creation has been left until last



And it's nothing to do with me



Huge congratulations to Niki and George



Munchkin due mid November



❤❤❤

  1. What a busy month! Huge congrats to Niki and George, of course - what brilliant news! But congrats to you too, for how well you are working your way through your sewing 'to do' list - lovely work!
    I do hope you find something lovely to do with your mini grandmothers garden, it looks fab! It could make a great yoke for another garment? Or a brilliant centre for a larger quilt? I'm sure that you will come up with a splendid plan! xx
