I had some jelly roll strips left from my wallhanging so I thought I'd make a table runner. (Inspired by my SS in the Cute Birthday swap) The central leaf designs are from Urban Threads. I still have some oddments of fabric left so I suppose mugrugs w
Jellyroll quilt wallhanging - I have had many tribulations over this as I am really only a beginner and I aimed a bit too high!
This is "Monkey Business" - yet another ITH hot pack. His curly tail fits in just under the opening for the removable rice pack.
This is Snuggle Puss - a friend for the hot pack bear. I've experimented and added some lavender to the rice in the hot pack in this one. It smells lovely, but it hasn't been in the microwave yet!
Thank you all for you kind positive comments when I posted the prototype Hot Pack Bear. I've now tweaked the design a bit and added some text. The space in the middle is big enough for a name, or you could replace my text with your own. Made almost entir
This rather odd looking bear is actually a cover for a microwavable rice pack. Hence the rectangular body. I've developed the project from an idea suggested by another Cutie who will remain nameless unless she cares to identify herself. He is made ITH
These gift bags are "made to measure" for two jars of my preserves. They are made ITH except for attaching the handles and stitching across the corners to form the base. I changed the design for the second one, but I'm still not really happy with it s
September Challenge - cutting it a bit fine, I know! I wasn't sure if this was going to be a mug-rug or a wall hanging. The wall hanging won in the end although the buttons aren't a great colour match.
Adapatable Advent Calendar - This set of little felt stockings can be used to make an advent calendar either by buttoning them onto a backing as in the first picture or by hanging on a length of ribbon as in the second picture. Just enough room for a swee
Cushion - a gift for our neighbour who kept an eye on the garden while we were away. The chaffinch is hand cross-stitch which I worked on while we were on holiday. I digitised a simple oval frame with a rope edge to applique it onto the cushion cover.
Purple canvas bag and ITH purse, with Urban Threads designs. There is a loop inside the bag to fasten the carabiner to. The idea is that it stops small items falling to the bottom of the bag - I just have to remember to put them in it!
A pair of tea towels for a friend who lives on a narrow boat. It is a very small space so gifts have to be useful, although I'm not sure that most men living alone would have much use for tea towels! The cute little guy in the middle is from Urban Thr
Yoriko told me that she had had requests for little boys to go with the paper dollies alphabet I did a while ago. So, here are the twin brothers!
These Bubble Banners are my first designs for ages! There are (at least) two ways to use the designs. I have shown the upper case letters made by one method and lower case by the other. Full instructions come with the designs. I suppose they could also
This is my first project for ages due to moving house and a holiday. My aim was to use things only from my stash so I found a piece of evenweave fabric (24 threads to the inch) and a collection of threads I'd been given and stitched this sampler based on
