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 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 […]
