A finish and a near miss!

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. […]

A little progress and a little random…

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. My ‘Texting in Bed’ bee quilt is growing a little, thanks to my lovely bee friends, Jeanne and Carla. And I finished a pin cushion!So […]

RRT and TGIFF

To help me get back on track after a rather sewingless month I resolved I’d have a Friday Finish this week even if it’s only a pin cushion! So this week a pin cushion from what I call scraps, although I know some people call these little bits crumbs and some people would throw them […]

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, […]

Sew Slow

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 […]

Free Two Bee – A Friday Finish!

34″ x 47.5″ Exactly one month ago I received my wonderful Free Two Be top. You can see more detail pictures (unquilted) here. I thought about adding borders with the siggy blocks but, as I want to hang this in my sewing room and it’s quite large already, I decided just to bind it in […]
