2019 count

Because I hadn't done it yet: Baskets 3, Bags 3, Quilts 10, Design walls 2, Bath mat 1, Table runner 1, Coasters 4, Hair scrunchie 1, Mouse 1. Still more quilts than anything else and the table runner and two design walls could also be considered quilts - despite what other people might say.... I am surprised I have done so much considering we moved house and it felt like we spent forever decorating.

Another basket

this one is bigger...

Bag and box quilt

Went to Bramble Patch on Tuesday to see the Christmas exhibition. Came back with this small halloween bag kit (from the sale section) because I loved the spider fabric! The quilt was a UFO from ages ago - a Rocheberie workshop on a Sunday with Susan Briscoe. It was supposed to have circles appliqued on it as well but nah, am calling it finished.

Crochet!

I can't remember the last time I did any crochet so I was pleased with how this basket turned out. I picked a crochet book up in a charity shop (£1) and this pattern was in it and I knew I had just the yarn at home to make it with....

Another design wall

My first one is full (it is more of a storage space for spare blocks rather than a design wall) so I have made another but this time it has bears, frogs, an alligator, snails, mice and dragons running across it!
(and the bunny blocks are still on there)....

When is a quilt not a quilt?

Apparently, if it is small enough to be considered a "table runner" it isn't suitable for the Rocheberie Quilt challenge - funny considering second place was taken by a (small) wall hanging complete with fabric tabs along the top to hang it with.
