quilt top is finished! Hurrah! Now just need to do the back and sandwich the layers before the hard part starts!!
Next project is this;

Like the 9 patch of it as it matches the quilt I made for mum and will do it with remnants of her fabric so she'll have a matching door stop for her room!

We have been gifted a sewing machine via my MIL, my dd 15 asked to borrow hers to do a school project on and was told to keep it as she has never used it in the 6 years she has had it.
Now comes the problem, neither of us can sew/ use machine can anyone point us in the right direction of simple patterns to try and learn the basics.
Many thanks xxxx

OH is going to go into the loft later and get all my fabric boxes out - he doesn't know yet but he won't get his home-made thai curry if he doesn't:D

I got some lovely fabrics in Jersey last May - will make lovely bags and will have enough left after I have made my bathroom blind - I love making cushions though so may forsake the blind after all, we haven't had one up for nine years anyway!!!

Came back as I realised I had been rude - sorry - you are all very inspiring and it is this thread which has whet my appetite for crafts again - love all your pics and blogs but it does create a bit of a problem as I don't only have 'one' craft and really need to narrow down what I concentrate on ;-) I think OH despairs slightly as one week there was silk painting stuff all over, then my sewing machine is out and then papercrafts!! LOL

How did you manage you get half price please? It's only showing 10% off for me.
