I have quite a lot of little cross stitch kits that came from someone else's stash. They have been in my cupboard for over 10 years. I havent done any cross stitch for ages, but fancied doing some. This is a lavender sachet, quite small. I had a lot of thread over, so I did the same design on the back. I am pleased with how it turned out.

Hi, I've finished this baby quilt today. All the fabric came from my stash except 1/4 metre I had to buy for the binding. The wadding is 3 pieces I joined together and the backing is a salmon pink sheet I no longer use. I will need to buy wadding for any more quilts as I only have tiny scraps left. My next project will be a baby boy's quilt.
Happy crafting xx

I finally got around to making 20 more christmas cards from old ones ready to sell for charity in November. Counting them as 2 makes. Also made 2 key chains as examples for craft group from fabric stash. I am enjoying diamond painting at the moment and have done a gift bag for DD and a, wallet for dgd to keep lip balms and scrunchies in. So glad to have found my crafting mojo again! I also moved 2 bin bags worth of stuff up to club for using with craft group. Saves me taking it all backwards and forwards.
