I do love Fridays - the end of the working week, the start of a new weekend: love, love, LOVE them! And I have a few finishes to share with you :)
Mutter (my dear Mum) has asked me for 7 Pants Bags to give to our relatives when she visits them in Germany ... I made another two this week (2 to go!):
And in next to no time, this little cushion for my fugly chair out of scraps:
I have just finished the top of the lap quilt I started last weekend for my 'maman spirituelle' ... thanks to my quilty friends for all their advice, I didn't add a full green strip around each square but have 'window-framed' the four blocks and it has finished at a nice 46" x 46" size - perfect for Lydia who is petite:
Now to decide on the back. It's great timing, DH and I are going to Rochester tomorrow and whilst he rummages in Baggins (England's largest second hand and rare bookshop), I shall be exploring the fabric in Hometown ... so if I can't find any backing fabric here:
I am certain to find some tomorrow ... yay! Have a great weekend - linking up with Amanda Jean @ Crazy Mom Quilts - Finish it up Friday and Sarah @ Confessions of a Fabric Addict - Can I get a Whoop Whoop?
Your quilt top turned out great! Look at all your sewing :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous.... I want to go to the most colorful quilt shop in Kent, too! :) You have been busy - I love all of your projects! Have fun.
ReplyDeleteI think you might have the most coordinated stash ever! What great finishes, every one.
ReplyDeleteGreat finishes. Way to go. Look how tidy everything is in your sewing room... I cleaned up last week and now it's a mess again. How do you do it?
ReplyDeleteI need more petite people in my life. My husband would call that a napkin for his lap! Still, it's lovely, as usual. And I always love to see how your pants bags turn out. Great finishes!
ReplyDeleteAll looking good there! Have a great weekend x
ReplyDeleteYour quilt top is so lovely. I think I shall be adding more of that colour palette to my stash now!!
ReplyDeleteI am ultra-jealous, you will be visiting two of my favourite places - a craft supply shop and a second-hand bookshop - I wouldn't know which to go to first!! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteJust discovered your wonderful blog. Love the projects and your sewing room shown in this post. How do you manage to sew so much while working? I can just about manage to pick up my knitting needles after a day at work!! Just off to read some more, then I can feel a sewing session coming on - thanks for the inspiration.
