@Florenceem - your apron fabric is lovely especially the one with all the jars. I have the sewing fabric that is on your chair. I've made an ironing table cover and a pelmet with it. I'll post pics tomorrow.

My niece had a baby girl on Wednesday evening so I'll have to finish my knitting asap. She lives in London so I'll just be posting her gift.

Happy crafting xx

@Florenceem That sewing machine fabric is lovely. I've also made several sewing bags for friends with it. I've been sitting outside knitting this morning and I've had to come in as it's absolutely boiling 🥵 

Happy crafting xx

plumduff55 - it is lovely fabric - I need to recover my ironing board - when I get the time.
Finished the 4 Christmas aprons.

The local Mencap scrap store was open today - had a special card making day as well as their usual craft stuff for sale.
I got this lot - it came to £11.20 but she said £10.
I can justify by saying - for a good cause.

After the card making room - I ventured into the other area - they weigh your basket and set price for a basket is £5. I did offer to pay £10 as I did so well but till lady said no.
Lots for £5.

I've finished this scrappy quilt.This used up ALL of my small pieces of blue scrap fabric. The blocks are made up of 2"x 3.5" pieces. The wadding is 4 scrap pieces joined together and the backing is an old sheet. I'm very happy with the end result so might make another one with pink fabrics.

plumduff55 - lovely quilt - what size is it?
Soontobeoap - I was so pleased at what I got - I know what I am going to make with it too.
The scrapstore is brilliant - so much stuff to choose from and fill a basket for £5.

Beautiful quilting plumduff 

Great aprons, Florenceem, they are so bright and cheerful. And what a lovely haul of stash!

Great round up of your makes for the month greentiger, I wish I could be motivated to make that much! I've done more spending than making! Picked up some cheap  stamps and dies at a car boot sale.

Keep all the makes coming and if anyone wants to check some motivation my way, please do
