Tea Cosy

I really enjoy making tea cosies.  I have made three in the last month.  They are quick and simple to make.  They also make ideal gifts.

It is that time of year again.  I have started making more small Christmas stockings.

Tea Cosy

I have been experimenting with a new tea cosy pattern.  It was quick and very easy to make.  I think I will alter the pattern when I make the next one, as I feel it is slightly too tall.

OPAM Oct 14

I started this small bag several years ago whilst attending the Dartmoor Arts and Crafts Show.  At the end of the show I bagged the fabric plus the project and placed it in my UFO box.  It took me just over an hour to finsh this bag.

Now what else can I find in my UFO box?

Stars

At the beginning of the year at the Quay Quilter's AGM, our president April set the members a challenge.  A small 15 inch wall hanging with the theme of 'STARS'.  The plan was to hang all the stars quiltlets at our exhibition.  We were all given the black background fabric and the instructions on how to finish our quiltlet.

As a last minute girl and our exhibition is only a few days away, I kept my stars very simple. Machine quilted using Rayon threads.  Members were encouraged to interpret the theme anyway they wished.  

   I will post a picture of all the stars hanging together later in the week.

Craft Fayre

Craft Fayre season is about to begin again in the next few days.  I will be at Just Tracy's craft fayre on the 12th April 2014 10 am - 3 pm.

I have been making small items that are quickest to make as my shoulder injury is still on going.  I am only spending ten minutes at a time cutting, pinning or sewing to avoid causing my shoulder further injury or pain.  I am still sewing, laughing and breathing!

I hope to see you all at Just Tracy's craft fayre.
