This week I finished a dress I started at my last garment making class..... It's a seersucker fabric and has ties which can go in the front or the back depending on the look (I quite like them in the front)
I wore it the other day and got some compliments but I also got "That's what I call a Tablecloth Dress"
I'm not sure what to make of that - is that fabric for a tablecloth (I was given it from a friend who had no use for it) or do I look like a table in it??????
Anyway it was comfortable and cool and I shall use this pattern again
Mr Postie dropped off the first card and decorations for this year
These beauties came from Marina - love them
There was a big tree in a box in the garage, my daughter came and picked it up (apparently we were just storing it) so now I have had to order one so for the moment the decorations are waiting patiently.
I started sewing the next braid quilt - the same as the last but in my (lack of) wisdom I cut two jelly rolls. They are easy but I do find it rather tedious doing hundreds of the same thing.
In the evenings I have been working on this KOGO blanket. I know they take blocks but get a lot of them and need to find people to make them up so I thought I would try and get blankets done...... they are closed for a while with Christmas so gives me time to make an adult one.... Next year I can probably get a child's one done each month.
There was a request for blankets in the Torres Strait Islander colours - white red and blue
More sorting has been done, a few stitches of embroidery, plans made, fabrics and threads chosen ..... etc etc... and of course all those Christmas get togethers are happening .....
I hope all your plans are going well...... have a lovely weekend...
Righto, Gotto Go... continue on with that braid quilt....... (sigh)
