Earlier this year Helen hosted a Stitchalong for Ruths quilt by Leanne Beasley on the No Fuss Stitch-a-long blog... the lovely little stitched tags were irresistible…
I sewed down my binding over a few nights …. and now its a finish...
This pretty rose backing was in my 'stash'. I actually had it for another quilt some years ago and it was too small... just perfect for this one.... makes my quilt reversible!
I even love it all folded up....
Lovely post from Shez this week …. my first Christmas 2018 card and lovely ornament. Thank you so much Shez... I just love it...
I have had this material put aside and cut for making up a shopping bag. I used a tutorial by Geta - sorry but I couldn't find the link - I think it was a free one some years back... it's worth visiting the blog - she has some wonderful designs, bags and tutorials.
silly me didn't pay attention to the fabric and my cactus's and birds are upside down! However the lizards don't seem to mind!
The bag is reversible - but I love that bright fabric so I will use it that way....
This is the centre block for Wings and Pretty Things by Michelle.... I worked on the little round circles this week... next is elongated hexagons EPP …. hmmmm
For my ChooseDay sewing I raw edge appliqued around the motives for my CHRISTMAS wallhanging...
Now I need to trace out the stitchery parts … there is quite a bit so it won't be ready for this Christmas...
When I had done that I continued playing with my green Bali jelly roll. I had sewed the strips and then cut them into new strips and now I am adding other strips!
As always I have several projects on the go at once... and still lots more I want to do
Righto, Gotto Go.... I am working on some Christmas ornaments before time runs out....
I've just been catching up on your doings. You have been busy as usual. How good that you have a finish for the end of the year, just in time to work on all your new projects.

ReplyDeleteThe bright colors on your bag should distract anyone from noticing things are a bit upside down! If I had discovered that, I would have done like you...used it anyway! :)
