The Sewing Room

danemi1

it has a thin single quilt inside - I have pieced the widths together - then cut a quilt cover to pieces - I bought it last year - cotton one side and the main side was silk and embroidery - both of which started to fray just leaving a redundant cotton side(burgundy) so thought why not put it to use - then I put both pieces back to back - then folded in the quilt - turned the cotton side in a bit and bobs your uncle if you have any idea at all what I am on about - wel done - dont know if I do - lol - anyway hubby is delighted with it = he likes to snuggle up when he is watching telly at night - after spending 14 hours out of the house when he gets in after tea - he relaxes! - bless him

Tamster, love your quilt.

jcr, I'm another purple lover, great cushions.

Danemi, well done with your bag and throw. The detailing on the bag is great.

Hart you could put a border around your backing if you have no luck at the CS.

Here is my latest quilt, not really what I had imagined but it is one less Christmas Pressie to worry about

I still have to quilt it, so maybe I will like it more when it is totally finished! More about it on my blog

That's lovely! I've got a jelly roll which I must find a use for - something like this would be ideal!

I did a sewing elective at University and really enjoyed it. The class all recreated the cover of a book. I chose the hungry caterpillar. I made each section of the body with a piece of food underneath, all sewn from materials.

That sounds like a lovely present for a young child.

Supercat your Hungry Caterpillar wall hanging sounds great!

I love all the patchwork cushions & throws (but then I love ALL patchwork lol)

And I love the YoYos on your bag danemi - might have to do something similar if I get round to making something for myself again!


I have been very busy this week - I whipped up this Little Cap last night in under 2 hrs!!! I have never managed to finish anything in an evening let alone 2 hrs!!! I love it and am really pleased with it. The only thing is it is a bit small for The Little Man who LOVES wearing hates so the Little Fella will be wearing it - and he HATES wearing hats lol!! More on my blog...

(seems I am very LOVED up today lol apolgies for all the loves)

Lovely little hat, I can't believe it only took you 2 hours. It takes me that long to cut out.

I'm looking enviously at the patchwork & quilts because I'd love to do it. I had one go and my squares didn't match up so I gave up and went back to thngs that turn out OK.

Love the bag with the yo yos too.
