lots and lots to do!!

Well I think I've finally bitten off more than I can chew....

I've worked out that I have 8 projects on the go at the moment. 3 for my SIL, 1 for my MIL, the quilt cover for a friends daughter, a bag for me, and I've decided to make some placemats for our table! I'm sick of my boys making a mess on the table. So if I can make up 8 out of the material that I've got, then I'll be happy.. I can have 4 in the wash, while I have 4 on the table. hehe..

At least the bags for my SIL are coming along, I've finished cutting them out, and now just have to sew them together tonight, and send them either this week or next!!!

The quilt cover is really coming along. I haven't sewn anymore together yet, but I've been really really busy cutting out all the squares and triangles. I have quite a thick stack, so am going to try and sew some of those together tonight as well, all while watching All Saints. Let's see if hubby cracks the poo's at me. lol....

Well that's it for now, just wanted a quick update...

It's coming along...

Well as promised here's an update on the quilt cover that I'm working on.. :) I managed to get quite a bit sewn up today while my boys were asleep.. (well in bed, not sure how much sleep they got. hehe)

I'm hoping to get a bit more cut out tonight so that I can spend tomorrow sewing as well!! I'm really happy with the way it's coming along...

Quilt....

Ok.. So I managed to get some material cut out tonight for the quilt.
I've changed the design as I wasn't overly impressed with the rail looking one. But this new design I love. So here it is..


And after 2 hours of sewing, it comes together, plus a small rearrangement of the way it goes together.....

Will be back tomorrow with more!!! :) :) :)

A birthday present...

Well I finally got it finished... A bag for my Grandmother in law... I really hope she likes it, as I spent AGES trying to find the right kind of material for a 94 (to be) year old woman.


Now to spend the afternoon getting on with either my Mother In Law's bag, or a friends quilt cover... Haven't decided yet...

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!

Ok so it's been a few weeks since I last wrote anything..

We moved, and then were without the internet for a while, but I'm back. Totally love our new house, it's soo big and roomy, and I have a HUGE area for sewing..

So now that everything's back on track, I'm going to get back into my blogging and craft work more seriously.

As well as the quilt cover that I'm doing, I've made a new shopping bag for myself. Which I don't have a photo of right now, and I'm working on a present for my Grandmother in law. She'll be 94 next week. She lives in England, so I guess I'd better get my finger out of my bum and get on with sewing it together.

I've also got to make up 3 bags for my Sister In Law. She sent the material a few weeks ago, and because everything's been so hectic here, I haven't had a chance to make them. I guess I know what I'm doing tonight while I'm watching the Cricket.

Well that's about it for now. Just wanted to update those of you who read!! :)
