I'm really chuffed with this bag. Apart from preparing the fabric handles, it is made in the hoop up to where I took the last picture. All that remained was to finish off the last seam in the lining. It is made in modules. I used a zipped pocket module,

UPDATE.... TA DA!! It can be done - see last picture. That is the whole bag when it came out of the hoop. Just the lining seam left to stitch.<br /><br /> This project has been occupying my mind for a while (when I was finishing my big quilt.) The bag

I've just (nearly) finished this quilt. Each block was pieced, backed and then quilted in the hoop. I had digitised the block to be joined in the hoop as well, but I found it was getting unwieldy so I joined the blocks into a row as I went along but th

I've been hiding from the rugby on TV this afternoon and I've made this fiddle mat. It looks lumpy because it is! Many of the pieces have things trapped underneath. - buttons beads, cellophane etc.<br /><br /> The four blocks were pieced and joined

Advice needed please. My skip rotary cutting blade has arrived from China and I've tried it out. If I use it on fleece fabric, I can pull the fabric apart very easily along the perforations. Those of you who have used one, please share what you have lear

ITH Memory Cushion - any pieced quilt block could be used in this way. This one is the basic sashed block from Engineered in Stitches. (I had "fun" matching those checks!) The photograph was done with Embird Sfumato.

Another crochet fiddle mat. I'm really pleased with this one but a bit concerned because I've been warned that some care homes do not like them done in treble crochet stitches. (Doubles in US.) The centre of this one was a rectangle I folded in half to

I am hearing a lot about Stacked Stitches. The Brother Dream machine can access decorative stitches and import them into the hoop to get this kind of effect. I rang Janome up the other day to ask if it was a function I had missed on my machine and they di

I'm not comfortable with sewing items to fidget mats because every separate beginning and end is a potential unravel (with determined fingers!) This has very small beads and elastic hair ties crocheted in as I went along. Other textures were created with

I bought this denim jacket this morning. Designs from Urban Threads - there are more in the set so I may not know when to stop!

More designs for the little yellow duck project. Key fobs and book marks which can be made very quickly and several in the hoop at once. The bookmark with the URL for the project has given me grief - I couldn't persuade the Embird Font Engine to use t

I've had a very strange experience with Embird today. The Font Engine refused to use the letter l. Anything with a letter l in it was left with a gap where it should be! After trying a dozen or so different fonts, I eventually found one it would play nic

I was asked to contribute a design to the Little Yellow Duck project - so this is what I came up with. Very quick to make in fleece fabric.

I had these four ith quilt blocks (pieced and joined in the hoop to test the design) lying about waiting for inspiration. Now they are an envelope.

More additions to the fiddle buddy family. All made in the hoop. For the puppy version I used a square of fleece instead of the taggy blanket for the body. I intend to try to crochet an edging on that. Will report back!
