Hello!

I hope everyone is doing well 😍😍

I have spent the past few weeks designing and sewing a coat for the school! The year 7's are performing Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat. It must admit it was alotof work but a whole heap if fun with amazing satisfaction when it was finished!! Needless to say that the teachers and children love it!! I cannot show photos yet! I will once the play is over.

I have also sewn a baby quilt. Mums friends first grandchild is due this week! Once the quilt has been passed on I can post photos.

The other evening we went to our schools summer fete! Great evening!

Quilting the Quilt with love!

Good Evening all,

I have been busy sewing away on a quilt for Katie!  She chose the fabric and design.  I just did the easy bit of sewing it together haha!  All I have left to do is to sew the edging on now.  It is looking fantastic 😁

2 Log Cabin Blocks

All 8 blocks to complete the front

The back of the quilt

I am totally delighted with the back.  I was going to use one solid piece of fabric but Katie decided to give me more of a challenge!!  I must say it is looking brilliant! 

No other news really!  Just a quick post tonight!  Poorly kiddies and cat plus lack of sleeps makes me boring hahaha!

Chat soon

Love and hugs

Heather

Good Evening everyone :D

Cara's topic at school at the moment is Houses and Homes, so I have made up a quilt block with a house on!  I shall make it into a hanger for her so she can take it into school on Monday!  

House Quilt Square 

This is a log cabin Quilt block!  I am being 'bossed' about by Katie as she now want a quilt made.  I just so happened to be watching a Melanie Ham video on You Tube when she came into my room! So of course she wants a Log Cabin Quilt.  This block was my practise!

This is a bag that I made as a belated present for Katie's friend!!  Katie made her some pompoms too!

For a bit of fun ...  the kiddies bus driver playfully skitted me that sewing is a woman's job ... I sewed him a tool belt so he can now do man jobs!!  hahaha!!  I even made him model it 😁

I didn't have fabric with buses on, so trains it was ... well they have wheels and move!!  Not much of a difference really lol
