The Sewing Room

hmo - I love the hair bands, my daughter would like them.

I have done some photos of my two latest quilts, one is for Christmas as a gift and the other has been put on my Folksy shop.





They have both been hand quilted, the denim one in a larger stitch as I wanted the stitces to look a bit more rustic plus the fabric was hard to quilt through.

There are more pics on my blog xx

I resized the photos so thought they would come out smaller than that sorry if they look a bit big xx

Rufusdog, I like your quilts. Very nice .
Still painting! I don't feel like I'm ever going to finish it and it's such a small room! Oh well, I'm onto the ceiling now. Woohoo!

What pattern do you use for your maxi dress Irishgirl?
Jerseys are always good fabrics for draping, and they dont fray either, which is a bonus.

Oh no, dont show me anymore material! I am going to be buried with it all soon! I am terrible. Although I have been buying accessories this time, with some iron on badges, and some handbag straps, and some felt, oh nearly fogot a couple of bags of cameo's too.

Sorry Mooloo :rotfl: I know what you mean though Ive just sorted all my fabric, I was going to clear some of it out and put on ebay but I keep seeing bags or cushions I can make with it so guess Im keeping it and had better get sewing instead :rotfl:

I need to get some felt but that will have to wait until I get paid again
I hope to pick up my circle rotary cutter blades from Cromford on Saturday, Im just hopeing she has had them delivered and not been let down again as I know I will buy more fabric

Hi every one just found this thread and so happy I did.

I love using my sewing machiene and always looking for new ways to make things. Just yesterday I added panels to an old T Shirt to make it larger. It was too small for me and now it fits like a glove just have to make it longer then it will be perfect
