Yes I know, it’s been over a week since I last posted …. but I’ve been doing loads of stitching, and at last I can show you what I’ve been up to :o)!! Remember all these bits of jelly roll on my sewing table a little while ago??? Well here’s what they became ……
It’s not huge … just 56” x 64” – a single bed topper or a nice roomy lap quilt :o). I finally finished it this morning … as you can see from the first pic below, Sophie was very helpful in holding the quilt down when I was trying to stitching on the binding he he he. The last pic is the back of the quilt …
Do you also remember these pretty doilies that I posted about last month??? Well I made this pincushion for Kay to say thank you for sharing them …
It’s nice and big … about 7” (or 18cm) in diameter and easy peasy to make … I might do a pattern for it if you like it :o).
My Nutter sistas and I have been having a bit of fun doing a swap with a gawjus pattern called “Florentine Doily” by fellow Nutter Fiona. We’ve all received our doilys from each other now so I can finally reveal the one I got from VIKKI …
Isn’t it absolutely beautiful???!!! And so “ME” … I just LOVE pink :o)!!! It’s perfect with my little (pink) birdie on it too :o). I also love how Vikki used the daisy trim with the buttons for the edge – isn’t it just gawjus :o)!??!! Thanks Vikki :o)!!! Be sure to keep an eye out on Jenny’s, Vicki’s, Vikki’s and Dawn’s blogs for more of our Florentine Doilys. The pattern is available from Mother Cupboard if you’d like to make one for yourself :o).
So what’s next on my “to do” list??? Well I’ll show you what I’ll be playing with … you’ll have to wait a little while to see what they become …
Mmmmmm …. lovely Bali Pops :o)!!!!

Wow, you have been busy, beautiful creations, love the pin cushion.
Will be keeping my eyes peeled for patterns.
A beautiful quilt - I have got to try this quilt as you go method. Your pincushion is charming and I love the look of the crochet in the center. Don't you just love having pretty doilies? I like to keep one on my kitchen table (old round oak table) to enjoy when having a cup of coffee in the morning and reading. Just feels like home to me.
