I’m not so sure about the time investment with this little quilt. I’ve spent around 40 hours on it…ridiculous really for something that’s entirely useless.

I based it loosely on the idea of the patchwork paving & used a mathomat to create the squares and rectangles.

I had planned to make something similar for our bed. That plan is now resting beside the pile of brown granny squares on the “too hard” shelf.

The mini is a wee bit late but my partner should have it early next week.

Thanks Kate for organising the swap. You can see further mini quilts made for the swap right here.

Happy weekend folks.

The green floss has become a bracelet…wrapped three times around the wrist.

Made using floss from my ridiculously large DMC stash. It’s going to take me a lifetime to work through that jumble of stranded cotton.

I do like a transformer two in one type affair & this can also be worn as a necklace.

Happy weekend lovely folk. x

It looks just like a baby chick doesn’t it? It’s not though. It’s going to be part of a little embroidered piece I’m working on.

We are all about the colour at the moment…colour for fences…& excitingly colour in the garden too. I’m going out to the nursery with Trace to check out plants this morning.

Mucho excitement.

Taking a few slow & small stitches. I’ve been procrastinating with this one for far too many months!

It’s light & airy & delicate and it seems lately I’ve been more about the speed so this has been “back-burnered” more than once.

Time to get on with it.

I wasn’t quite ready to pack away the remaining pony fabric.

Words scrawled by me & then embroidered using two strands of floss. Stem & chain stitches…play to your strengths I say.

I’ve never upholstered anything in my life so it’s absolutely the have a crack make it up as you go along type of thing & really more for decoration than feet which is a bit daft…

Made for someone very special who occasionally needs a little reminder. xx
