A nice little 10 minute project that I have been meaning to do for a while - a needle case. (Our few needles have been stuck in a tatty piece of red cardboard for the past 14 years - my husband's Mum sent my husband off to uni with it, as part of a little sewing kit for him!)
I made a little pocket, put stiff acetate pieces in it to stiffen the covers, and sewed it shut, then added some felt. I like it!
I finished off the embroidery for Jack's pillow case back, the other day. I need to make my handwriting more regular next time I do this, because it's not quite as neat as I would like. Jack loves it though!
I found some Amy Butler fabrics on Ebay the other day at quite a reasonable price, and they arrived today.
Also today, the Kona Snow fabric that I have been waiting for arrived in the post, so I got to finish off the sashing on my quilt - I have finished my very first quilt top!!
everything looks AMAZING! love your handwriting, and congrats on finishing your first quilt top! :D
ReplyDeleteI can´t believe this is your first quilt top...it is beautiful! I love the colours!
ReplyDeleteI too think your handwriting is beautiful and Jack will love it more and more as time passes because it is YOUR handwriting.
ReplyDeleteAwesome job on all the quilting. Keep up the good work and enjoy every moment.
