Een tochthond om U tegen te zeggen


Enkele weken geleden kreeg ik drie zakken beddengoed met 'Aha, jij naait graag... daar zul jij dan iets mee kunnen doen!'.  Wel inderdaad!
Ik maakte een tochthond  - een obscene 2m 80 lang - voor in manliefs 'kantoor/garage'.  Het stofje vond ik ironisch grappig en ik denk niet dat hij de roze flanel die ertussen zat geapprecieerd zou hebben.
Het is dus een 'plain lazy' Tochtmonster geworden:

A couple of weeks ago I received three bags of fabric and bedlinen accompanied with:  'You sew so... then you can do something with these'.  Well yes indeed!  
I made a draft excluder - it's an obscene 2m 80 - to go into my better half's 'office/garage'.  I thought this fabric was quite funny and I don't think he would have appreciated the pink flannel which was also in the bags.
And so now we welcome the 'plain lazy' Monster draft excluder:

    Well, it just kinda sits there on the floor not doing much, so "plain lazy" seems like a pretty good description... ; )

Claire's quilted blanket

Image
Claire's birthday came and went back in July .  I did warn her that my light bulb moment had come a bit late (after her birthday) and that it would take a little while to sort out.  She had seen O's 'all boy' quilt and Martha's play mat and liked them both.  So why it took my brain so long to put one and two together I don't know!  Eventually realising she'd love something that combined Cath Kidston fabrics with a cottagey feel I started looking for the right things.  So I had to confess it might be a while before she got her birthday present. It was such fun looking for fabrics, putting it all together and thinking of steering away from 'just' squares and coming up with something I hadn't tried before.  I love some of the designs on this blog and often have a little admiring look around.  One day I want to be able to make such gorgeous designs! Anyway, there's absolutely nothing wrong with squares, but I fancied making something a b

Warm hearts

Lingering Winter, we've all had enough of you. You have overstayed your welcome, you have been an unwelcome guest for a while. You are not taking the hints or even pretending to be going. You like it here and are oblivious of the growing annoyance your hosts are feeling. Your skies still grey, the wind still whirling over the hills and through the streets, chilling every bone it meets and the world around us still colourless and quiet. You like your stone-cold days and wintery ways. With your freezing temperatures you are keeping Spring paralysed and the world around us strangely transparent. I have almost forgotten what the sun feels like, don't let it be too much longer ~ please. I'll be wear this scarf for Easter, all it needs is a border and the ends sewing in.

Summer quilting project - halfway

Image
Halfway through the summer, already! Slow down! Also, halfway through the 'table runner' project.  That should say table runner s though as there were just enough half square triangles to make two.  They'll go across the table rather than lengthwise.  I can't wait to have them finished and dress the table :) That leaves choosing a backing fabric, buying some wadding and pondering about binding colours.  It means a little pause this week whilst that gets sorted.
