a week of not enough
It doesn’t surprise me that it has been a week since I last did a new entry on here, it seems to have been non-stop here, but in the process of that, not enough has been achieved.
I have made another quilt,
I made this to give a better indication of the puckering effect that you get when washing the finished quilt, photographing it has not been as easy as making it! This one measures about 13″ by 10.5″. I love the way they look and feel, and it is an encouragement to me to make a bigger one, but I have so much other stuff to do first!
I have also ordered some new fabric, including this one,
I love it! I have it in three colourways, and so this get added to the stash to be looked at, and dared to be cut into! (Edit – I forgot to say where it came from, duh! It came from here)
So they were the sewing related items, as well as the first week of the quilting on the course, which I think went well, but I do see what I could do better to help people, and to be able to understand what I think is easy, but maybe be harder for other people to visualise. So it has been a learning experience for all of us.
I also had this made for me,
by my father in law, as you can see I already almost filled it, I only got it yesterday! It is great, especially as I can keep the bobbins and spools together, and see that I really don’t need to buy anymore greens!
So that really is all the sewing stuff, the rest has been more difficult, but I will save that for another post, I don’t want to make this one War and Peace, or spoil the good vibes!!
And look bags, almost complete!!

The birdie fabric is just amazing, where did it come from?

I’m not liking the sound of War and Peace – hope all is ok with you all.
Lovely quilt and fabulous fabric, not to mention the excellent spool stash. Very smart!

I’m thinking your father-in-law needs a guest spot in your etsy shop!

How awesome is that spool rack. I wouldn’t have thought of placing the bobbin under the tread spool though. I love it!
The baby quilt is lovely too.

I love the spool rack. I am swiftly realising I need something like that!

The quilt looks lovely and cuddly – perfect for the lovely weather we’re having in Hants today! Hope the start of this week has been better for you.

Love the spool tree! Wonder if my dad would feel like making one for me for Christmas. Or birthday, omg, I’m getting older again soon… Looks like you’ve been very effective!

The quilt looks great – by your posts and pictures it looks like you are having so/sew much fun. I love the cotton holder. And that you have organised the cottons by colour. Very impressive. And much easier to see what you need.
