Dream in colour, create in fabric, thread, yarn, words, whatever you have to hand

My Friday Finish, this week isn’t very interesting but I’m keeping up with my finish a week, however small. It’s just a simple pouch, pencil case made from the bird fabric I’ve been using for cushion backs. Unfortunately it got a mark on last night but a trip through the washing machine has saved it. […]

I’ve started one new project, which I’m hoping to post more about very soon. My ‘pick-up-put-down’ project has seen a little progress but has been more often put-down than picked-up.

I originally intended to hand applique but because I was hoping for a quick finish, I decided to try some more machine applique instead. Unfortunately, […]
Read More…I have very little WIP to report this week. Today, at last, I’ve made a little progress on my bee blocks. I hope this gives an idea of what I’m hoping my Scrappy? Sew Be It! quilt will look like… Otherwise, sadly, no sewing! My new job plan of doing three twelve hour shifts to […]

Since Friday, I’ve only managed to put together four centres for my Scrappy? Sew Be It! bee blocks, which I mentioned in last week’s WIP post. I’m hoping to end up with 36 blocks like this – And I’m thinking I’ll get a selection of the stars onto the foundation paper and then do all […]
