Bin busy stitching!!!!

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 ……May 2010 288

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 … 

Like most of the quilts I make it’s quilt-as-you-go, so the back can look just as pretty as the front :o). I haven’t thought of a name for this quilt yet … what do you think??? I’ll be writing up the pattern over the next few days and once that’s done it’ll be time for a giveaway :o)!!!!

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)!!!!
