I've been busy in the sewing room, stitching up a storm, and making a huge mess. Tuesday I couldn't stand it any longer and had to get in there and clean it up. I couldn't find a thing for all the fabric and patterns that were strewn across the room. It's amazing how much more productive you can be when you work in a clean environment. Anyway onto the progress that's been happening.
A Quilting Angel. I think she speaks for herself.
She was so much fun to stitch up and I hope she'll be enjoyed by her new owner.
Do you remember this little peek I gave you a few weeks ago?
Well here it is all finished, ready to fly to it's new home.
Just in case some of you don't know what a Plum Pudding is, click on the link.
Remember Nanette showed us a few weeks ago a terrific idea for kitchen towels. Here's my result. I purchased the linen from Fabrics-Store.com. They have a lovely range of weights and colours and all at bargain prices.
I found the embroidery design for this bag while surfing the web, can't remember where, but it also included the photo of the finished bag. I thought it would be perfect for ............ for Christmas. You may recognise the fabrics in the bag from a previous shopping trip.
Added inside the bag is a mini pouch and a note book, made from the same fabrics.
Lastly a scrap book cover, had fun with all the lovely ric rac that arrived last week.
All wrapped and ready to be mailed, somehow I don't think it's going to all fit into the mailing bag I bought. I think it will need a box instead.
Unfortunately I've just discovered that one of the bag swappers didn't receive her bag, so it's time to get busy in the sewing room and rectify that problem.
Happy Stitching.
