Watch Pincushion

A while ago I was blog hopping and came across a variety of things that I added to a folder called "things I want to try". Some of these things were quite complex and others were novelty fun items that would just be good fun to do. This pin cushion is one of the novelty fun things to do. I did wanted a pin cushion to use when I was working, so when I saw this great tutorial for a fabulous watch pin cushion (Lucykate crafts) I thought this is the one for me. So I decided to make it, not only for practical reasons but also to stop me sticking pins through my top and into my bra, that can be dangerous you know...hehe!!

A Tiskit, A Tasket February Block 2

I am really having fun with this project. It is however letting me see how much I need to improve my hand sewing, each block I realise a better way to have done something. However if I look at this as a learning curve, I should in theory improve each month. So if that is the case by the time I get to the 12th block it should be perfect...hehehe. No matter as I said I am having fun with this and that is what really counts.

A tiskit, a tasket January Block 1

This is my first block for Bunnyhills A tiskit, a tasket BOM. I am a bit behind as I have only just came across this fabulous site. Hopefully I will catch up in the next couple of months.

Our lives are like quilts - bits and pieces, joy and sorrow, stitched with love.

Beginners Quilt

I recently joined a quilting class at a wonderful shop called Mary's Patch. I joined the beginners quilt group and this weekend I finished my first quilt, its only a small 9 block quilt, but I am so pleased with it. I had great fun making this and I can say with certainty that this will not be my last one:)

Good friends are like quilts - they age with you yet never lose their warmth. ~Author Unknown
