African Beauties. Thanks to Meganne for the link to these designs. (Currently free at Julias Needle) They fitted beautifully between the woven stripes on this bag. I want to keep this one!

Two into one. I started with two T-shirts. One long sleeved black (in my size) and an extra large Man's (he doesn't know yet) in purple. The body of the purple one provided to insets in the sides of the black one and the rest of it is behind the slash a

Does what it says on the bag! My neice's husband (who does all the housework) has asked for a drawstring peg bag. Gave me an excuse to try a design idea that was buzzing in my brain.

Two bags. This was a remnant of black furnishing fabric with a woven pattern stripe. The designs are from DBS (I joined for a week!) I fitted the redwork designs in between the stripes using a colour to match the woven stripe. The elephant bag has boxed c

Memory blanket for Molly (it would be pretentious to call it a quilt!) The squares are cut from my sister's T-shirts. Mave (Songthrush) loved bags, shoes and tigers so those designs feature strongly. 13 year old Molly (her grand-daughter) has Asberger's

Finger puppet experiment. I used microfibre cleaning cloths for these puppets. Looks like felt, doesn't fray and should be washable!

Sleep masks. I've been playing with these designs for a couple of days. The mask fabric needed nothing else! The eyes are on fleece fabric.

Various items for a craft fair. Scottie has convinced me that we should do a craft fair so I've been embellishing some T-towels and aprons today to build up some stock! I seem to be stuck on a black and white theme.

Butterflies and flowers. This tablecloth has been keeping me busy whilst on my travels. The cloth is 30" square and is woven with an Aida type fabric border. It was a French kit that Scottie bought me for my birthday. I've inset a close-up of one corner

Custom packaging for Songthrush's quilt. I made a pillow case in the same fabric as the quilt backing and put the grand-daughter's name on it using Martine's flower font. It looks a bit strange with the quilt inside but should look great with a pill

Songthrush's quilt. Mave had been working on this for the last few weeks. It was her first try at patchwork and is for her younger grand-daughter. The top was complete and tacked to the wadding and backing fabric so I have finished it off. It is for a si

Todays therapy session. I saw sandyqueen's design in DBC and thought it would fit nicely into the CD recycling design. While I was at it I added one of Scotties sayings (she was waxing lyrical over a bottle of medicinal red wine the other night!)As it wa
