A FINISH WEEKEND

No, I did not go to Finland for the weekend. What a trek that would be!  For the past few days I have been determined to complete a few projects . A while ago I did some stitcheries and pieced the top of a tablerunner that was in one of the magazines.




The original pattern was done using  1930's reproduction prints but I wanted to use a  pack of Charm Squares that I had  and  my Cottage Garden threads for the stitcheries. I did the stitcheries on white linen. Here are some closeups of the stitcheries. I love the Cottage Garden variegated threads.






I am rather pleased with how the tablerunner turned out. And it is just for me.  I also completed the 4 Gail Pan pincushions I had made stitcheries for.



I completed a birthday present I have been working on for a girlfriend but I cannot show it to you until next week because chances are she will look in here and I want it to be a surprise.  Last week  I completed another Henrietta Whiskers block and also realised that I hadn't appliqued the sign on a previous one I showed you, so here they are.




AND 3 more Farmer's Wife blocks.



Okay, away from the sewing now. I couldn't resist buying some more lovely yarn and a knitting pattern. The cotton is to make a vest for myself and the 2 balls of Noro  are to make a scarf.




The knitting bag was from one of those discount stores. I need  a few  bags for different knitting projects just like I need a variety of project boxes and bags for my patchwork and quilting. Do you have heaps of bags and boxes to keep things in order?

Thanks for visiting again. I love your feedback as it keeps me inspired. I also enjoy looking at your blogs too. Angel Blessings.

  6. Gorgeous work, Ondrea. Boy you have been busy, and how beautiful are those pincushions? Seems a shame to stick pins in them. :)
