Work In Progress

Making decisions about Kits and Patterns, taking some of the elderly-and-not-very-nice ones apart and recycling the contents; repacking; making new versions of patterns. Making a lot of tea and a nice lunch and a couple of very short dog-walks.. 

A productive day!



 

A Small Gallivant...

 ...to Sew and So's at Bungay, to drop off samples for the next term's classes which we are much looking forward to teaching there. The shop looks very nice and festive with lots of delicious new fabrics as well as the usual red/green/sparkly.. 

They close for Christmas on the 17th, so get in while you can
Then we had a nice coffee and mulled over the ins-and-outs of stallholding and new kit for same, then came home and contemplated new patterns and kits. Tomorrow, a bit of remaking, packing, and sprucing-up...

Home again, home...

 

Aitchbee's prize-winning New Perspectives is home from it's little tour of the Knitting and Stitching Shows. You can make one rather like this, click HERE for details

Bit Cold To Sew...

...as the men came and stole my back door. I hope, when I get back in, they will have finished...
Trad Zoom tomorrow to make Kinchaku Bags, so I'm going to have an early night, having set everything up...
Sleep well!

 

When we first started working together...

 ...we taught a Sampler Quilt - it was great fun and we learned a lot about and from each other.. In the interests of encouraging the beginners amongst you, we will be making a free BOM (Block Of the Month) starting early next year. Not everything on here, but a really good starter set...

We will be putting the blocks online at the Modern Art Quilters website HERE, of course...

Out all day...

...at the Repair Cafe. Came back for tea with HB and jollity like so (I did try to video this, but I haven't found out how, watch this space...)




Here's the pattern - make one for yourself?
