Non stop quilting this week combined with sewing in the ends and adding fastenings to all the things I’ve made over the last few weeks! I hate the finishing off bit – I’d much rather do the designing and initial making! If I ever have a business that requires staff then that is the first thing I would delegate! In the meantime I have to rely on family and so drafted in my mum for a sewing on buttons and press studs day! We drank tea and chatted while we sewed and it was a nice relaxing change from all the machining.
I think that my favourite thing is making patchwork bags and pouches ! I hope they sell at the fair as I am taking quite a range of items to London so that I can get some feel for what in the future I should be concentrating on, ie the items which sold or which I felt people liked.
I have also been making a disappearing 9 patch quilt top – I learnt this on a Craftsy class ages ago and have been wanting to make one ever since. It’s quite easy and yet looks like it has more sewing than it really does!
Anyway I’d better get back to it! Just linking up with Handmade Monday for the usual Sunday evening stroll round blogland. See you there!
Gorgeous material, lovely bright colours. A disappearing 9 patch quilts sounds intriguing. Hope you have a good week.
Love the disappearing 9 patch quilt top! It’s got beautiful colours. I’m with you when it comes to finishing things off – I love the making of something, but my Mum often sews things together for me! Where would we be without our mums?!
Oooh that quilt is looking fab, can’t wait to see it all finished!
It sounds like a great idea to take a wide range to London, i have my fingers crossed for lots of sales for you! x
Those quilts and bags look lovely. You’ve used such wonderful bright fabrics. Hope London goes well for you.
I like the hippy fabrics!
Love the bright colours of the fabric – bet they get sold and are popular. They would add some colour to the cold and dreary winter days that’s for sure.
