TTT 10/11/11

I can’t believe another week has gone by and here we are at Thursday Think Tank again! I’m starting with this star which I’ve just made following an excellent ‘Texas Star Quilt Block Tutorial’ at Blue Elephant Stitches I made it from scraps as a trial run but I think I could add a border […]

Winter Table Runner

Yesterday I thought to myself ‘It’s about time I wrote a TTT post’ so I popped over to Making Rebecca Lynne and I couldn’t find this week’s TTT anywhere. So I thought I’d get on with my table runner. Then, this afternoon, what did I see in my blog roll but yesterday’s TTT. I have […]

This and That

Today I’m linking up with Making Rebecca Lynne for Thursday Think Tank Although I haven’t had a lot of time for sewing lately, my new favourite hobby is thinking about what I’m going to sew when I do have time. Lots of this thinking involves designing quilts with amazingly complex piecing and fabulous fmq which […]

MAKING CHRISTMAS – including whole season much muddled

Once upon a time, I used to be up way after midnight every Christmas Eve finishing rag dolls, sewing sequins on fairy dresses, stuffing soft toys…generally putting all those last little finishing touches to sewing projects destined to be presents for Christmas morning. In recent years, after a last minute scrabble around I whip […]

Then Autumn […]

Chequer Board Quilt

1. Checkerboard quilt – finished. This is the only thing I’ve actually sewn in the last couple of weeks although, for me, that’s been a lot of sewing! (I can’t get a picture of the whole thing without it dragging in mud). I’ve quilted it all over in straight(ish) lines (approximately) 1 inch apart. Of […]

This Week’s (not) Sewing

I’m thinking I’d better post something because, although I always intend to be a good, regular blogger, somehow things keep getting in the way and now I’ve joined the Goodie Swap, organised by Cindy at Fluffy Sheep, I don’t want my fellow swappers to visit and get the impression I’ve abandoned my blog. Because I like […]

LITTLE HOUSE PIN CUSHION

I just came across ‘Finish it Friday’ at Stitching by Starlight and I thought I’d link up with my Tiny Cottage pin cushion. Actually, I feel a bit silly posting a pin cushion but I think it’s a great idea to have somewhere we can all see each others completed projects and so far (apart from the […]
