We needed to light the fire in May prior to the 'official' start of winter here. A definite chill in the air, and soup recipes, jeans and jumpers, electric blankets, hot showers and wood fire season is here...... I do love it when I am not watching footy from the sidelines in the wind!
This weeks machine sewing has been the main blocks for Candy Blossoms (using Quick Curve Ruler), and I have started sewing the sashings on......
This is the pattern from a book by Sew Kind of Wonderful..... looks quite different in my colours
My zig-zag blanket is finished!
Visiting UK grandson will be pleased with this, just in time for the cold weather here.... it's ended up a good size, this is on a double bed.
It actually goes quite well with the picture up in that spare room (perhaps he will forget to pack it????)
I had chosen 15 different balls of yarn some time ago and swapped them for the colours chosen by Attic24 so I could follow her sequence.
I will miss having this blanket on my lap these evenings. I have taken out my embroidered table runner to work on now ....
Today I managed to go to Embroidery group and continued with the hardanger hearts border..... only to discover after sewing 10 hearts that I had made a mistake... so today I actually did more reversing than progress! I was going to fudge it but June, the tutor warned me it would come back and bite me if I didn't fix it!
That's my sewing week, hope you have had some fun too.... xx
Righto, Gotto Go, I have boring grocery shopping to do ......
