Its been a long time since I last blogged. But I have completed Peddler.
Over 7 months of work, not including the break I took to do daughters wedding flowers and the afghan & cot bumper for the baby.
I enjoyed stitching this piece, the colours were nice and even though I am well in to the next project, i still miss peddler.
The next job for peddler is washing, blocking,drying & framing but I shall do this nearer Christmas.
So back to Bears. I am dabbling with miniature bears.
This is white Christmas Bear. Standing 8.5cms tall, he is made from pure white cashmere with pink suede paws.
This bear is ready for adoption.
It’s been ages since I last blogged and I have been quite busy. My Grandbean Callum arrived on November the 25th & so I have been busy helping my daughter adjust and stopping all those with good intentions offering unwanted advice. its all meant in good faith but at a time when you go from being only responsible for yourself and then having to adjust to being responsible for a baby it can get a bit overwhelming.
So the cot bumper was finally finished, and it was a labour of love. Tatty Ted & cute stuff is not my thing, and its been a struggle to finish what to me is a boring subject. But it was done, its a one off gift that has held me up for the best part of a year.
Its now in its new home, along with Callum’s bear.
this is a new project for me, I'm good with quilting although I am trying to conquer my sewing machine.
This quilt is made of 4 main blocks with little dresses appliqued to them each with an individual embroidery on the dress.
There is also a matching Pillow & Rag dolly.
This is block 2 Amanda in progress. Embroidery done, just needs lace edging gathering and appliqueing to pink block.
Home sweet Home is still in progress & now an old hold UFO
I have been working hard on getting the afghan finished, as my daughter is due any day now. so the stitch is complete,. it needs backing & binding now.
Can’t do any more till the baby arrives and we have a name & details for him.
