The Strawberry, Bee and Mushroom fabrics.......

That were cut out a couple of weeks ago for pot holders now look like this.


They are all packed up ready to take to the hospital stall next Saturday.  

This audio book was playing alongside me.   I have just started listening to it and looking at the reviews it does not rate highly.    I will be interested to see what my thoughts are on it as there is only one other book that I have read of hers that was a disappointment to me.  


A challenge has been issued by my quilt group which entails using a doily in a sewn article.  I do not have any doilies as such - either embroidered or crocheted - but do have two coasters that were made by a friend of my who does tatting.   She has done a lovely pattern and I would like to use them for the purpose they are intended but feel that they need to have a backing on them to be functional.   So my thoughts are to sew them onto a backgound fabric and take it from there.  This is what I have chosen to work with.    Watch this space.


The washing machine has just finished doing what a washing machine does so best away to peg out the load.  

Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing all

Nice to have a pile of pot holders finished and ready to sell. Good luck with your sale next week.
I loved 'Apples Never Fall' - and interesting commentary on human nature I thought. Enjoy. xx

Fun fabrics in your pot holders. I enjoy a good audio book while sewing.

That tatting is lovely.

I've been listening to that book too...then went away - I expect my "loan" will have expired by now...I wonder what chapter I was up to.
