2021 Week 12

So what have i been up to?  Work (of course!) but apart from that . . . I stitched these five Easter panels from Kiwi Designs: rather than making them into a panel I made them separate - they could maybe be used as mugrugs? 


Briana nd Niki have been creative - the old (original 1960s) flat porch roof has gone and been replaced by this one - and because he's just as much a hoarder as I am, he could find the tiles that came off the roof in 1995 or so to make room for velux windows and use them on the new porch roof!!!

A friend became a granddad, so a good excuse to finish an I-spy quilt!

The pre-school children came into church to hear the Easter story and hunt for felt Easter eggs - it was lovely to see this lad in the fleece that I embroidered for the uniform holding and egg that I'd embroidered for their trip to the church

My Crochet blanket is growing: but as the weather improves I'm doing less - it might have to be put away unfinished until next autumn.

I took a sneaky trip top Cliveden House - just walking the grounds but it was a beautiful days and I may have bumped into two friends who were coincidentally there too


I was asked to make a Ginger commemorating ANZAC day (end of April).  This photo


became these Gingers

via  a game of thread chicken!!!!!  (I won, phew!)

Scratchy cat seems to think this blanket might be hers!!!!

Wordsworth Wednesday

As a treat for getting through 50 or so polo shirts (another dozen or so to go) I decided to work on one of the outstanding Star of Africa blocks.

Veena wanted a flower that represents our country, and black and white fabric bordering the flower.  I know daffodils are Wales' national flower, but with Wordsworth's Wondering lonely as a cloud 

And then my heart with pleasure fills, 
 And dances with the daffodils.

and Daffs being my favourite flower, I decided to use them


To tie it more to the UK I used some London themed fabric (although all the Images are also seen in Windsor) for the case, and finished it off with this lovely "how to sew a cushion" fabric.  Hope Veena likes it!
