A peg bag from Star Wars fabric for the two sons of our neighbours who are buying their first house.

I did put some pegs in it as well....

Unproductive

It feels like I haven't finished anything for ages.  I have been working on UFOs but not achieving much in the way of complete finishes - although I have finished some tops....

These were the efforts from an evening at Lutterworth Piecemakers - everybody was making stuff to be tombola prizes for the exhibition later in the year.   I supplied the fabric and Denise brought her sewing machine and along with the help of Sue, we made 25 tissue pack covers between us.  The theme for the tombola is "things to put things in"...

A lot of people on the night were making these quilted pouches:

I brought a pattern home and have made these two and was very pleased with how the zips came out!  One of them is for a left handed person (obviously) but overall, very pleased!!

Went to my first workshop in an absolute age on Thursday.  Gail Lawther at Lutterworth Piecemakers.  I finished my project on the day - all apart from the binding - and then had to get my (workshop) sewing machine back out today as I had missed a bit when quilting the background.   An Oyster Catcher.   I chose this pattern (from the four available) as I am sure Mark and me have seen these at Bridlington.  

Linus disappearing 9 patch

 

We had a Linus evening at Lutterworth and made disappearing 9 patch quilts in groups.  I offered to quilt the finished top.

2022 count

 In 2022 I made a total of 14 quilts, one bag and one doll.  Doesn't sound like much....

The end is nigh....

 Because it is nearly the end of the year - and no other finishes are in sight.  This is for a dog named Basil.

Busy American footballers

I didn't realise just how busy looking this quilt is until Mark held it up for me to photograph.  It is a disappearing 9 patch all from American football fabric. I have bought a whole load of this fabric on ebay because it is a really nice quality and is really cheap - I bought it to use as backing but had to make a quilt using all of the different ones. 

It is another one for Arthur to sleep on, on the sofa - he needs his  home comforts.....
