Oh, how I misssed my sewing machine!



I haven't used my swing machine since the middle of June, as at the summer house I have no space or time to really sew sew. At least I am working on the dolls house cross stitch, of course! The bathroom is finished, by the way - maybe I'll finish the project one day after all :-)

But now we came home for a few days and I spent Emma's naptimes in the sewing room, and enjoyed it enourmously! And finished this little tablerunner for my Gran. She is 91 years old, and she used to be a seamstress, so she specially loves handmade things. Hope she'll like this one.

I saw this disappearing 9 patch block at Moda Bake Shop and fell in love with it, so I had to try making one, and this happens to be the result. I am not completely satified with the quilting, I should have stippled it, but no use crying over spilt milk, I will definately NOT unpick the quilting! :-)

Finish for July




A little bag for holding important things, e.g. my videocamera at the moment :-)

Stitchers Angels 2009

I have joined the Stitchers Angels 2009 Swap. I have seen so many beautiful things changing hands last year that I would like to participate in the fun. I am very excited!

And I am not spending my days doing nothing, but still working on the dolls house, the bathroom is almost finished. I had to go and buy a skein of thread as one was accidently left out, and it is also getting hot, so I cannot work a lot on it, but it is not forgotten. Will take a pic of the bathroom when finished.
