Happy New Year Everyone!
One last task for 2017 - Elise asked me to make her a pin cushion (!)
Of course I couldn't just leave it at that....
She chose the fabric while she was here - a lovely 'ditsy' print from the 'Songbird Gatherings ' range by Primitive Gatherings for Moda. So, after she had gone, I set about making the pincushion.
It is cathedral window and mostly hand sewn. (I know! ... took me a while!)
Then I made her a scissor-keeper and a needle case to match. All in all just over a fat quarter with 3 charm squares.
On New Year's Day, I popped down to HobbyCraft to get the pins, needles and scissors to go with them and a nice box to start off her sewing kit. They purported to have a sale on, though it wasn't up to much! I don't know who their fabric buyer is, but they have an appalling selection; neither fashionable nor traditional in my view.
As the New Year begins, I am continuing with the 'Jamestown Landing' quilt from Bonnie Hunter's String Fling book. This week I've made the remaining 140 2 1/2 inch half square triangle units (making 840 in total), and now I'm ready to start assembling it.
I'm looking forward to tearing off all the paper foundation squares and putting it all together. This one has been on my 'Must Make' list for quite a while.
Oh and Evie liked her 'Puppy Paws' quilt!
