Just for fun

School holidays and no alarm clock tomorrow..........so I'm sitting up late working on something different just for a change. I got the fabric pack for The Simple Life last Christmas. I thought I'd start with this one, simple but true.


I'm using needleturn instead of buttonhole, and may regret it with some of the small pieces later. I figure if I just do one block every now and then it will all come together eventually. They are very cute designs.

  13. I've got to get out more. You seem to find lots of lovely designs for projects. It is so nice to be able to stay up during the holidays and get a little stitching done.

  14. This project is looking wonderful.Good on you for using needle turn but you can always baste those tiny pieces to cardboard and applique this way.

  18. Your needle turn is great, keep up the good work.
    So often I see fabrics in your work that I have in my stash too, and some quite a few years old.
