This week I made a bunch of zippy bags. When I gave Jack his fishing quilt I had made a small zippy bag from left overs thinking he could use it for something. He quickly asked for more so he can have his reels in separate bags. As he really does look after his equipment I was happy to oblige and was given some more fishing themed fabric. I also used up some boyish scraps I had to make a large selection to post off for him!
These seem to take me ages, and I have a variety of other ones prepared as I want to use up some 'odd blocks' I have
At Christmas I made DD a travel bag, and so I made up a zippy bag and a drawstring bag with some of the leftover fabric to go with it. They will work for make-up, undies or whatever.....
I have loaded another long awaiting quilt on the frame.... Gardeners Journal was stitched and pieced in 2018 !
Last week at Hardanger I did the blanket stitch around the edge. A completely different way to how I usually blanket stitch so it took a while.
... and I have done more rows on the crochet - I still have a ball of each colour so hopefully it will end up a decent square. I will have a few parcels to send off to KOGO as they close over Christmastime so I have been keeping my makes till they open later this month. Then I'll give the KOGO crochet a break as I have done it consistently for a couple of years and will focus on something else. (I do have family members who want one)
That has been my crafty week.....
Righto, Gotto Go, I do still have a bunch of zippy bags which I'd like to make up and get out the way. At least I feel I know what I am doing now and not putting the zips in the wrong way around....
Take Care and have a great rest of the week....
