It’s just occurred to me that much of my sewing of late has been very ‘rosy’!!! Here’s a birthday pressie I made for a dear friend (I can show you now cos I know she’s received it) ;o) … this is a stitcher’s cushion, you have it on your lap to rest your hands on while you’re stitching. The pattern is “Sewing Accessories” by Sue Daley and it was easy to make … lots of lovely hand-stitching done while watching the tele in the evenings. (no machine necessary for this one!!) :o).
These blocks are also from a Sue Daley pattern “It Takes Two” there’s also a cute daisy to be applique’d in the middle. For this one I’m using a most delicious “Antique Roses” jelly roll that I bought ages ago. I’m really enjoying this one :o).
Lastly I’ve done some blocks for a sample quilt that I’m doing for Quilter’s Shack in Bundaberg. Sue Ellen has sent down the most scrumptious “Mary Rose” fabrics – I’m in Heaven working with these …. I’m making my “Slice ‘n’ Dice” quilt as you go quilt, it’s a nice easy one - and I just love how it’s coming together!!
Have you managed to get some stitching done this week ;o)?
