  • Here's my first(and probably the last!) attempt at a memory board:rolleyes: I made it for my niece but I don't know if I'm going to give it to her as I'm not overly impressed with it and maybe next time I should measure properly:rotfl:

    Stardrops, I agree, its very pretty and girly.

    I bought the canvas yesterday and think I have some wadding in the loft, just need someone to go up and get it for me. My quilting course starts on the 30th so after the first evening I should know what fabrics i have left over to use. Have ribbon already and a big tin of old buttons so I am sure I would find something in there to use.
  • I cant believe how much ribbon each one uses up!! haha, i keep running out! anyone know somewhere i can get cheap but nice ribbon?? haha

    i have nearly finished another one, but need to decide on the buttons first! haha

    plan on doing a few in the week as I will only have my little one at home and other son at school, so will need to take my mind of missing him!!:rotfl:
