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.

2017 Wk 3 - mostly pyrography
I played with the pyrography kit- I've bought letters in addition to the shapes: they have a great result
I tried the rings on the bunting as the flags tend to twist a bit otherwise
I'm not sure I like the beads with the flags, but with just the rings the flags bunch up together. I'll work on it!
I did do some fabric related work . . . Some fun keyrings to identify stuff around the house
And I received a fab pair of fingerless gloves - thanks Jackie xxx

Project Planning
I don't know when I'll next get time to sew, but I need to be ready!
This project needs more fabric (will hopefully be sorted on Friday)
And this project has been tidied up, and needs backing (will hopefully be sorted on Thursday)
I was also quite sure I'd blogged about my first pyrography attempt, but if I did the internet has eaten in, so here it is
The bunting flags are only about an inch wide, but it's not too shabby!!!!
