Sorting Out And Meggie.

 Meggie Loves her new toy!

 Used under supervision because of the little bits that might come off with the Kittie tugs.

 So cute to watch!

 No sewing today, (yet), but I have been busy, I have lost a couple of the rubber feet from this machine and have come up with this idea, This is left over from a previous project. Cheap rubber mat, press the machine onto it to get the indentations, exact pattern made. Cut it out, and using double sided paper tape, strong enough that it holds, but not permanent so that you can peel it off to get to the underside of the machine if you need it. Problem solved.

All the tins and containers, have got their place and labels, Now to keep it that way! (2 drawers have no label, bits and pieces in them still, but not enough bits to warrant their own container).

Just For Fun.

 Following on from yesterday, I had not done any sewing on the day, but had chosen what I was going to make. Hippo on Parade from Jodie Carleton's Creative Cards was my choice. I made my hippo this morning using a pure wool skirt from the op shop for the hippo.

I really like him! Jodie has a wonderful range of the most delightful softies to make. Her pattern pieces are just beautifully presented and instructions are exceptional. Love her work. I cannot wait to see the girls stuff finished.

Adult Crafternooners.

 I had forgotten today was our sewing day, so what a surprise I had when they all came! Just lovely! Here they are making a purse.

 Tilli was especially sociable today too, talking her head off and asking everyone for attention at some point, even walking on the table between the machines. Not at all worried that there were a couple of girls she had not met before, Lovely!

 Threading the machine.

 putting the pieces of the purse together.

 Pure concentration!

 Ta Da! Finished purses. Very clever girls. I can show their faces as they are all adults on facebook!

Softies started. We ran out of time, they stayed as long as they possibly could, Good indication of fun! These are the patterns they are using.

I am looking forward to seeing the finished products. (they will e-mail me pictures). These they have made for themselves and they will make some for me for my charities too.
I can honestly say I am looking forward to our next meeting in a fortnights time.
Thank you girls!

Fabric Donation For Charity Makes.

Today I went to our cloth doll club, A.C.D.A. (The link is on my right hand side if you want to learn more), Look at this wonderful fabric I have been given to use by one of our members. (I won't name her unless she gives me permission to do so). Green cotton great for quilts and laundry bags, and blue heavier weight fabric, also cotton, great for backings and bags. Thank you so much  I really do appreciate your support.

Aussie Hero Quilt Finished.

 This is what I have done today, a quilt from start to finish. This is for an Aussie Hero request for Maroon, blue, cars and soccer.

This is the back, Just need to add a label and it will be ready to go. Needs a laundry bag to go with it first, something for another day.

Quilt In Progress.

Having come up with a design I am now sewing the blocks together in rows then sewing them row by row. I thought it was a good idea to show you the table and the reason why it is the size it is.

Aussie Hero Quilt In Progress.

 This is the next quilt. This morning I have chosen my fabrics and cut them into 10 inch squares and put them into pairs. The colours of this quilt are for a requested quilt of blue, maroon, cars and soccer.

this is how they will be going together.
This is the tutorial I have used.
