Molly's Place has a lovely Tree Time BOM - I hope I get to do some of these for Christmas...... It is her first free BOM and I think they are blogalicious..... Have a look HERE and let her know what you think....
Raylee at Sunflower Quilting has a great idea for a ruler holder.......... This will make fingers feel a lot safer.......
I had such a lot of fun with Sue's story at Charlotte's Cottage - you need to start this lovely fairy tale HERE - the end is amazingly beautiful..........
Polka Dot Pineapple has lots of cute goodies to make - I love her T shirt yarn posies ...... YS (younger son) left his T shirt collection with me when he went overseas......... they are in great danger .........
Marina made some really beautiful pot-holders for a swap ..... I don't think I could have given them away! I have found thermal lining so must get to work.............
I went in to visit Chookyblue as I remembered she has some very useful tutorials and I was getting very frustrated with loading pictures ever so slowly through blogger...... today was much quicker - thanks Chookyblue. If you have the same trouble you can find the tutorial HERE.
Whilst I was over there I noticed Chookyblue has some great photo's of ornamental spiderwebs in her garden...... so I went on the hunt for some gardenart myself. I found this..............
and this...................

My spiders are obviously feral......... and then I realised my stitching work is a bit like that at the moment .... too many bits and pieces lying around and a LOT OF MESS....
Coffee time ................ leads to think time......
Don't you just love the bugs on the tray cloth??.........
.......... and so to work...
I finished the stitching on my Bluebird of Hope design of Natalie Lymers
The tiny little bluebirds are just so cute ......
Then I tidyed up a few of the tiny blocks for the cuddle quilt - these mushrooms were off mittens - they are little 1" blocks..... cute though....

I couldn't find the buttons I wanted so I improvised with beads..... I quite like the 3 dimensions they make....
The project box is STILL full .......... so I had better get back to it............
Your stitching is beautiful!

ReplyDeleteI love your feral spiders and all your sewing. My poor old 2009 Quilt Aid blocks are still sitting in a crate waiting to be started
pleased to know I helped you out again.........and yes your spiders sure have lots in there webs.........sometimes I take a spray bottle to lightly spray them............mind you this doesn't work as well as a good fog........
ReplyDeleteyour blocks look great..........happy stitching........I am playing away too at the moment.........got my cuppa tea waiting........
Spiderwebs can be so intricate!
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy! I couldn't see all the photos (I seem to have this issue all the time! annoying) Is your bluebird block from this year or last year's quilt aid?
My mum did the quilt aid last year. Turned out lovely!
