14 Projects in 2014 - in memory of Soulie

Florenceem

Finished another tea towel.
Have a moral question - the family member that I am giving this to - is shall we say - more than a tad slap dash in their washing/housework. I want to treat all family members the same - ie - give them a stitchery tea towel. Am I being really mean - giving a lesser quality tea towel to the one who I know will mess it up? I plan to give them 2 tea towels instead of the one of top quality.

i dont see that being a problem at all Florenceem, im sure they will be as delighted them as with everyone else

No Florenceem you're not, go for it. If you feel guilty just think about how you'd feel with them messing your hard work up....I bet that would feel worse than a twinge of guilt

Hello everyone and hi to anyone I've not welcomed yet.

ailsb, Henry - WOW! it is such a lot of work, but the result shows it was worth it.

savvy, I love your seaglass jewellery. I love the feel of seaglass!

dundeedoll, you show so much imagination in your blanket themes; the will be truly original, lucky recipients

fos - lovely simple cards. The class is very lucky to receive your kits. They will be the ideal showcase for personal poems.

maria, I bet your dd loves her bag

mrs-m, the scarves are beautiful. I'd like to try making these sometime. What a lot of work you've done in your garden, it'll be perfect for summer. Oh, sweet peas, I can smell them already!

I've not been doing much lately, the way things have worked out. I have got started on my April cards (just). Need to get cracking again! I think I spend so much time reading this thread and wondering at all the lovely work and thinking, "Oh I must try that," or "Oh it would be great if I made ...."

I apologise for all the pictures that are about to follow. This was on my 13 for 13 list, I finished the top in April last year and then for whatever reason it went in the cupboard and never got finished! but it is now and i'm very proud of myself ha ha ha. It's for my daughter and she loves it!

Thanks florenceem. Forgot to say I love your t-towels, they really are lovely. I'm another one who wouldn't feel guilty I'm afraid :-D

Thanks.
This family member had a decorated peg bag from me - that was left out in the rain and got spoilt.

maria - your quilt is lovely - I like the little flowers you've added. That typewriter card is really clever.

3 Easter cards for my grandchildren completed from my April card list.
