Well I have just finished mowing the lawns and my fingers are slowly regaining feeling….it is very hard to type when you can’t feel the keys! I haven’t been able to get on to mow them as it has been so very wet, but as we really haven’t had much rain in the last week I took the plunge and did it. No marks, but lots of grass poking up everywhere and it looks very messy indeed….I’ll leave it a few days and do it again…..hopefully it will look better after a few more goes at it.
As promised I’m back with some photos of finished and some not quite finished projects. Hannah requested a table runner for her new table for her new house. Hannah made the decision earlier in the year to build her first home – the first home owners grant and low interest rates made it an ideal time to do it. So on the 9th Sept 09…..Hannah moved into her new home…..
She is now the proud owner of a mortgage which she hopes to have paid off in 10 years…….all this at only 18! Back to the table runner……..colour requested – green and red – not for Christmas but because she has green and red in her kitchen. So this was the finished runner…..
Now I have to make one for the coffee table!
The next project that I would like to show you is Gail Pan’s free Christmas Block of the Month. I have had my 9 blocks finished for about 3 weeks so I thought that it was about time it was completed so tadah……
I decide to use sashings instead of the blocks that Gail used in her completed quilt.
I am really happy with the way it has come up and can’t wait to hang it on the wall. Thanks so much Gail for sharing your lovely stitcheries with us…….it’s not too late to make one for your very own – just pop over to Gail's blog and download the pattern sheets.
Finally this is my not quite finished White Sheep from Melly & Me . I just need to buy a zip and then I will be able to get on and get him done.
I also have a cute idea for another sheep but I’ll leave that one as a surprise for another day.
Hope you have managed to get some projects finished (or started) this weekend.
Linda :)
