Hanging storage for hoops. At the moment I separate hooks for my hoops, but I wanted to reduce the number of holes in the wall. I also wanted to try out the Urban Threads "sewing sleeve" designs (which I have placed horizontally rather than vertically.)
A little shoulder purse. I couldn't resist adding this new little design from Urban threads to one of my own ITH purse designs. I must have been saving these fabrics just for this!
This is my first project for ages due to moving house and a holiday. My aim was to use things only from my stash so I found a piece of evenweave fabric (24 threads to the inch) and a collection of threads I'd been given and stitched this sampler based on
I think this one must be the grandmother of the first two. She is a green old hippy like me! I was so relieved when Toogie said she had had difficulty with the alignment of the two halves. I always thought it was only me! I've been persevering and, al
Quilted table runner. This is my first attempt to make anything like this and I'm quite pleased with the result.
A lady at my Stitching Bee asked me if I could teach her to smock, so I thought I'd better see if I could actually remember how to do it! I gathered up a piece of gingham to show her on and couldn't stop, so I had to make it into a baby dress.

I was inspired by jofrog's table toppers and I've been playing with the idea as an in the hoop placemat. This is my first try and was all done in my 200mm square hoop with the exception of adding the backing. I think that those with a 200 x 260 hoop cou
I used my nearly crazy mug-rug design and substituted the central part with this new freebie from Urban Threads. Perfect for Mike!
Vintage Toys for Christmas. I used 4 of Diana's toys on this cotton velvet bag for my other sister. I'm really pleased with the finished product. Thanks Diana!
This cushion is made of the nine 140mm square quilt blocks I digitised for my J-club ladies. They should keep them busy for a while!
I wanted to experiment with some 3D applique today and I needed a card for a "milestone" birthday. Who said cards couldn't be round? I bet you can't guess what is inside!
What I've been doing today. This is another one using the CD recycling design.
Meet the children... yet more finger puppets. NB these have plain backs and will remain so!
