It's already Thursday!!! where has my week gone?
A lovely surprise arrived for me from Ingrid (instagram link) who I have never met but has been so kind to send me a panel she thought would be fun for me to practice on the longarm with.... there is a cute notebook holder and needleminder too.... I just need some suitable backing and this can be played with....
20 odd years ago Hubz used to play golf regularly... one of his retirement plans is back to it.. he has been gathering supplies.... and he raided my kitchen towels drawer!!!!! Apparently you need to wipe the golf balls ....
Well I found some golf themed fabric online at the big store and so I made him his own ones!
Sorted!
I have sewn up my wedges for a free motion course wedge sampler - not sure what I was thinking but I made a lot more than was set so there will be lots of practice!
It is almost time to have done 4 more sampler blackwork lollies.... these two are done. These are certainly a challenge.
a few more rows on my crochet blanket.....
... and another Field Journal embroidery....
Tuesday sewing got 4 more blocks together.....
So a busy sewing week for me.... progress on several things and a few quick finishes...
After horrible year with lockdowns and online schooling etc we were chuffed to hear our eldest Grandson in UK passed his A level exams..... good lad....
Righto, Gotto Go.... better scramble around for something to eat this evening....
Good news about your grandson - how great to hear happy news, for a change! Well done on your stitching, one of these days I will find my blackwork sampler and show you.
ReplyDeleteYou’ve got lots of variety going on there. Isn’t t it good when you can actually make something for the man in your life.
ReplyDeleteLovely gifts from Ingrid….
ReplyDeleteOh hubby will be the envy of his golfing friends…. You may get orders for more of those golfy towels. 😄
Great job of the blackwork and also all the other projects….
Congrats to your GS after a stressful year….
good news for your grandson, now onto the next adventure :) Think that fabric is much more appropriate for the golf course :)
ReplyDeleteWas he really willing to leave home with a pink towel? He's brave and I admire that. Great job on the new towels. Such a good wife (and rescuer) you are. Ingrid's panel looks like a fun practice piece. Looking forward to seeing what you will do. Field Journal block: are those all French Knots? OMG!! The blackwork is amazing. You've really worked on your projects this week. So much got done and all is beautiful. ;^)
ReplyDeleteLovely personalised gift for hubby. Congratulations to your grandson. Your crochet blanket is coming along nicely.
ReplyDeleteHi Fiona - I LoVe the handtowels you have made for hubby & the fabric is just perfect. When he goes out on the golf green the other players will want you to make them some too 😉 Congratulations to your grandson. Love the colours in your crochet blanket. xx
ReplyDeleteWell done by your grandson. Great gift from Ingrid. Hubbies towels will be the talk of the golf course! Lovely to see progress on your other projects.
ReplyDeleteThe golf towels are a great idea - and black a very sensible choice! Always lots of nice sewing things going on in your world. xx

ReplyDeleteHuge congrats to your Grandson..they have certainly done it tough over there. Lovely mail from Ingrid. Bet Mr. R was chuffed with his very own golfy towels! Lovely stitching too xx

ReplyDeleteGlad you found a way to get your kitchen towels back.
As always, the blackwork is lovely.
HI Fiona, gosh you are keeping busy and getting lots done! It looks like you are having fun getting to know your Moxie. Love the golf towels - hmm maybe my hubby would like some special ones for the cowshed....! Well done to your grandson - it's not been an easy year (or more) for many.
ReplyDeleteI really love the Field Journal embroideries and this one is no exception. So many beautiful projects and a great idea making the towels for hubby.
ReplyDeleteI have nothing to say - I am overwhelmed!

Good job to your grandson!
