...... for the "biggest worm ever" contest! I encountered these three beauties this morning
I made the collage here, and at the same time I made this one of raindrops hanging like diamonds on plants in the verge
This snail was in danger of being washed away on the wet road
but these heifers were happily grazing in the field with the Jacob's sheep (you will recognise the gate!)
I got my trainer rather muddy .........
....... but I wasn't worried, as I knew it would be cleaned up ......
...... when I walked through this on the way home!
at the weekend, I finished Stuart and Alison's oven gloves and potholder
last night I finished the last piece of work for Anne
so, hooray, I can do some sewing for me!! I have made a start to the block keeper (I got the pattern from Anne last time I visited her shop) using my Ghastlies fabrics, including the ones that Judi (no blog) gave me
instead of the owl applique, I decided to fussy cut squares from two of the Ghastlies fabrics, using a cardboard window template so that I could mark the cuttting lines
the pieces cut, ready to get started
the first block, part sewn
both blocks pieced
and sewn together - which took two attempts, as I forgot to turn one upside down the first time!
I chose this fabric for the lining of the block keeper
and layered up using a polyester wadding to give a firmer finish
I have quilted all the background (white) areas
good progress! After I finish the quilting, the next stage is to make various pockets for the inside.
