Introducing Alice


Albert was a little lonely - so we have created a partner and friend for him... so without any further waffling...

Alice – my Liberty girl... the nice thing is that Amitie sell Liberty scrap or little bits as fat sixteenths! and you can make this pattern with 3 of them.

Here they are together, just hope they behave while we are at work.

My first toy - updated

Introducing – Albert!

This was a bit of a challenge – then what is life without a challenge, I am looking forward to the next pattern. This is the first soft toy I have made! The pattern is from Audrey and Maude and was not as easy to follow as I was expecting either that or was being a dunce. Not that it matters – next ones will be much easier to assemble.

I have been told that I need a Turtle as the next Softie
- Tail optional




Brownyn – the scones were so yummy, Leigh is going to add a little more 'Orange' for the next batch. Most likely some zest of the orange.

Hobo Bag Number 5

I call this one my turkey bag (mind you I don't think you would have any issues putting a medium sized Turkey in it) it is called such because it is now kicking around Turkey and was made with a 'Middle Eastern' feel with the fabric.

I am told that it gets comments everywhere.

Owner: Susan Walsh

Hobo Bag number 6

Had a great day on Saturday visited Amitie early as I was on a fabric mission, returned home and was faced with an Oil and filter change on the car and then for the creative part... Bag number 6!



I love making these bags – naturally I never keep them! This one has been posted to the new owner...
This project was about 3 hours on Saturday from start to finish. Not including the selection of fabric and what seams to be usual habit of missing the lining sashing or the handle fabric (was the handle this time). There is a problem with the pattern and the supply list, so had to raid the stash for the handle.



I also spent a bit more time on my Hexagon Project have now completed 2 rows, will add another photo of it when I get a chance to get a nice picture of it.

Hexagons - 2 rows competed

Here is the latest picture of Hexagon's - I am finding it hard to photograph as it is very long and narrow at the moment so getting a true perspective is rather difficult. There are 9 flowers on one row and 8 plus 2 /1/2 size flowers to finish the ends.

Leigh's Quilt - Finished

It feels great to finish a project – I have already passed this on to Leigh and it was so nice to see the smile on his dial. I finished this at his place tonight – could hardly bring it home with me !!!

Here are some temp photos as I didn't have my camera with me and they never seam to be very good at night anyway. Will wait for the weekend to take some new pictures.
