Current Project

Below is a photo of what I am currently working on.  My sewing room needs a serious clean out before I start my next quilt project (or continue some ufo's) so I decided to try some knitting again.

I have bought wool to make two cardigans but I got a mad notion to try to knit a pair of socks. So far I am very proud of my efforts.  I turned the heel no bother at all.  I stayed up really late last Saturday night.  Once I had finished the ironing I was determined to try it and it worked.

I forgot to post some photos from a quilting workshop I did recently.  The workshop was held at The Limerick Quilt Centre and the wonderful and talented Mary Palmer was the tutor.  My sister Margaret and my niece Katie were also there.  We had a great day.

Lines, bubbles, waves, spirals and flowers.

Until next time, happy knitting and sewing x

Recent Finishes

These are some photos of a baby quilt I finished recently.  The pattern is called I Spy a Four Patch, from Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville.  I really enjoyed making it.  I have also shown a couple of close ups of the quilting.

All of the fabric was from my stash, which I was very pleased about.

This one is a Disappearing 9 Patch. The fabric was a pack I bought from The Fennel Shed last year.  I ordered some fabric for the border from them from the same fabric range.  I am really pleased with how it turned out.

Both of these quilts are on their way to Slovakia.  My husband's friends Marian and his wife recently had twins Adam and Alica.  I hope they like them.

That's all for now, happy sewing x
