January 2026

 I have had a furtle through the phone photos for January and thought these might be mildly interesting!

I made a-some vinyl pouches with the Chertsey ladies a few months ago (the blue ones) but didn't like that the studs were on the vinyl as that seems likely to break, so I adapted the design a bit and added another section of fabric: these (the yellow ones) now work much better

I finished this hug quilt (yes I have done the binding since the photo was taken)

One I-Spy for a new baby, just need to do a second one for baby's cousin (honestly some friends are very greedy about grandchildren LOL)

Travelling to see *my* grandson means at least 75 minutes in the car.  If Brian drives I like to have something to do - my collection of EPP balls is growing!

I have finally finished my 2022 Easy Stack quilt from a Paula Doyle class.  I have rather fallen out of love with it, hence the crazy long time it took to make

I don't usually add labels  but the fleece backing moved a bit and ended up a bit small so I had to Frankenjoin a bit and it all looked a terrible mess, so the label is a sticking plaster to hide the booboo

We had a lovely late Christmas family gathering at mum's

A few new Gingers made an appearance: this one for Pie Appreciation day

This one for the RSPB bird spotting weekend

And this one for the RNLI SOS day

Brian made this for Jack - his dad made one for Lisa 34 odd years ago 

I'm teaching Paula's easy Stack at Chertsey on Friday, so though I'd show them the original idea and how much more complicated a Stack and Whack block was - and forgot to make the white  tall enough - doh!

More furtling this time next month.  For now, pictures of gorgeous boy!
