Pennib love you sock monkeys. When you sew yours do you use a normal straight stitch, as mine seem to come undonehave even tried stitching them twice.

Thanks

Pennib - Love the monkies.....I recognise the socks too! There's a blue monkey and pink sock monsters on my blog using the same ones!

I'm looking forward to getting busy with my machine again soon, just not felt up to it lately......am hoping to revamp the kitchen with a few bits and bobs of soft furnishing so am still at the planning stage where you keep folding, unfolding, laying out, refolding and stroking the fabric......or is that just me?

Thanks Pookie. Sorry that you've not felt so good. Hope you get your mojo back soon.
I have heard that others stroke their fabric as well!!

Hi everyone - I have not been near a computer for ages but have just spent a lovely evening catching up on all of your blogs and makes. The in-laws and my Aunt both own caravans by the river at Hurley, so I have spent most of the school holidays at one caravan or the other with the boys. And still managed to go car-booting each weekend lol!

So not much sewing till this weekend - I have managed to finish the half-square triangle quilt and I am really pleased with how it looks. I can't face downloading the photos tonight but I will try and update my blog tomorrow.

My bundles arrived from Fabric Rehab & I am really pleased with them. Originally, I was going to make some placemats and/or decorate some bags but they are so nice I am now thinking of using them for another quilt! I also ordered a £4 mini-bundle for my Niece's quilt but it only contained 3 pieces of fabric and not 4 so I emailed them and they sent me out another bundle for free!

Some more projects I have found for my "to do" list

Anyone got any good tutorials for using scraps other than in quilts??
