Hello everyone

I hope you are all well. I have managed to succumb to the summer cold/virus doing the rounds coupled with a tummy bug. Never do things on half measures.

Anyhow lots of rest and some home brewed honey and lemon drinks and feel marginally better and have spent some time on my sewing.

Here is where I was last time

Here is my progress

well that is me done. Please spend some time perusing the other members projects.

Does anyone know how do you copy and paste on Samsung phone ?

Hi Everybody

I hope all is well with everyone. We are experiencing very hot weather here in the UK at the moment. Makes for very sticky fingers in sewing things. However I have a finish. Yay. Also a new start, the last stitchery in this quilt. It is the December Block.

Here are the photos hopefully.

November block completed. Just need to press and sew onto cardboard ready to join pieced blocks.

December basket full of goodies.

Well that’s me done and now please take a look at the other members projects. We post every three weeks and we all work on different projects and techniques.

Bye

Hello Everybody

I have managed quite a lot of sewing this past week as my husband was ill and resting was the cure which meant sitting in our garden chairs and sewing time.

However, my laptop has died I think so whilst I can type this message I need to workout how to get the Image up. BEAR WITH. OK this is where I was last time and then my progress.

Well that’s me done. Please take a look at the other members progress.

Bye for now

Hi everybody…

Hi everybody

I am afraid not one stitch done on my blackwork project. I have been working more hours in the office and whilst I have now had a week off it was commandeered for gardening projects. Please take a look at the other members project as we all work in different ones.

Bye for now

Hello Everybody

Firstly my sincere sympathy to Clair and family upon your recent loss. I hope time helps you heal.

I have managed a little stitching this week as I have been on holiday from the paid job and have been gardening all week since we are having a warm spell. All plants are purchased and planted and the mini vegetable patch is thriving well.

Anyhow on to the sewing.

Here is where I was last time ….

Here is my progress …

Well that is me this week but please hop along to the other blogs to see their progress.

Thanks for reading and supporting me

A Knitting Post

Hello Everyone

I have recently got the knitting bug again and this time I am knitting a shawl. I started with a little one in shades of brown and copper. Then I looked at a video by Stephen West (a very good tutorial on the daisy stitch and twisted rib) which I then managed to incorporate in my shawl. So here are some photos of my new shawl.

Please ignore crumpled bed cover.

The small bobble stitch really painfull on my hand. I was going to do more rows but couldn’t manage it.

So on this projects I learned three new stitches. Very chuffed with it. I think the tassells really add to it as well.

Hello Everyone

I hope you are well. I have been beavering away at several projects one of which is this sew-a-long project.

Here is my progress …

This is the November Block. One more Block and then I can iron/press and block all sewing and start the long job of stitching the whole quilt together. I am still in love with this quilt. For those who are new to my site it is a quilt design by Mandy Shaw from Dandelion Designs and is called “The Redwork Basket Quilt”.

Well that is all for now
