A finish!!!!  This has gone to Oscar - a dog walking friend's dog - who had to have his eye removed this week.  It is a get well soon quilt.

It has taken just over three years but I have filled my bobbin vase - I can't understand how I have used all this thread but have so few finishes to show for it - my UFO stack must be vast....(it is).  I decanted them to the bottom of a planter bucket - but they didn't look like much in there.  They are now buried under compost and some wild flower seeds - not much is growing yet.

New Technique

 Lutterworth Piecemakers are doing a challenge this year.  We all have a Bingo card and have to tick off 6 "items" to get a prize at the November meeting.  

I have ticked off two as I made a bag (nothing spectacular) and my "new technique" to tick off was this doll and her clothes.  The pattern calls her Lizzie but she might get called something else - she certainly did when I was making her.....

Two finishes

 I bought some fabric from ebay and amongst it was the fabric with deer at either end of it - only narrow and then the deer repeat - random....  what it is supposed to be used for?  I have made a table runner and quilted round the butterflies and am thinking of doing another one and quilting flowers all over. 

Barbie pink chair

My sewing room chair is a cheap and cheerful plastic one from Ikea - it is very comfortable to sit on but, being plastic, can be cold.  I have had a cushion on it for that reason for ever but the other day decided it was cold on my back (I must be getting old).  

I have made myself a small quilt that drapes over the back of the chair and tucks into the hole by the base.  Used up some orphan blocks.

Peg bag and basket

The rush is on to get the completed count higher in 2021.....     This is a peg bag (left) and a small gift basket (right).  Both were easy to make.

At the last Rocheberie meeting, a lady "showed and telled" the peg basket and, randomly, when I got home something turned up on facebook which led me to the website selling the pattern......  Technology definitely listens in - and we haven't even got an Alexa.
