I've completed projects 12 and 13 :j

Project 12 is just a small coaster which is part of a birthday gift. I tea dyed the linen as white was too stark for the effect I wanted

Project 13 is a Jane Austen sampler which was an online SAL.

I have collected some other JA inspired designs and I have in mind to stitch a few more and then make a quilt. This will definitely be a 2015 project though

Our Flickr album is looking great - what a talented bunch we are :T Such a variety of skills and techniques.

Good to see you, jess.

What is cyanotype project?

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

Cyanotype printing uses sun sensitive chemicals to create a blue and white image, or blue print. I will post some pictures when I have completed it, but if you want to see more here is a link -

Currently trying to finish my knitted hat, not that I need it in this weather but have been knitting it since I was given the wool at Christmas!!

Hi All,

Not abandoned you all - been away on holiday - not much stitching done - other than a baby stitch for one of the girls at work - the one who liked the one I done for her second child, she wants me to do one for her first born. Will post picture when its complete.

Lovely work all, such a talented lot we are

Kind wishes to all,

First was another baby quilt.

I also made 2 more bunting sets for new baby boys (and boxes to put them in). You've seen my bunting and boxes before, so I haven't posted a pic.

Here's my updated challenge list:


1. memory quilt for friend's granddaughter (WIP) - it's taking much longer than a "normal" quilt. - done
2. all cards required this year (always do this anyway) - coming up in August so far are birthdays and an anniversary.
3 . baby quilt (due July) pink quilt done, may need to do one for a boy instead and a boy's quilt was needed, of course! - done
4. 3 more lots of baby bunting and boxes for July babies - won't do this until I have the babies' names - done
5. Christmas cushions - made 2 two years ago and I have plenty of fabric left
6. "bags of courage" for the Be Child Cancer Aware charity ( they hold beads children collect as they go through their treatment) -completed 25/25
7. a wall hanging for our stairwell
8. a series of 12 monthly embroidery panels (UFO) - will need to alter some of the designs as some are quite USA specific, e.g. 4th July. Completed: February, April
9. something from Wizard of Oz project book I received as a gift last year
10. bag for my laptop - sleeve and bag made
11. make up the Christmas angel kit (bought last January!)

Elizabeth- truly beautiful, reminds me of the kind of thing that people ooh and aaah over that was made hundreds of years ago. It's very original and unique

Tiger-what a lovely quilt and nice to see a baby quilt that isn't pastel blue or pink
