It was only when I was looking at today's photos that I realised that the three photos that I remembered to take of this morning's class are all of Betty's work! First we have an action shot of her trimming the selvedge of her background fabric
she decided she would rather finish her bag in the same way as the mug bag, instead of putting the handles on it
Betty is so enthusiastic, that not only has she neglected her house and garden to get on with her sewing, but she had also prepped her diamonds ahead of today's class
now, the big reveal of yesterday's purchase
so what is inside the little container ........ a tiny eggcup pin cushion
this is a very special pincushion, the story of which is explained briefly in the next two photos, and you can read more here
in the evenings, I am still prepping hexies for Mrs Billings. My box is slowly filling up
I still have quite a few more to prep, but I have sewn a few of them together
Malcolm has done some more work on his planter
and has started painting it
when I was sitting in the lounge this afternoon, I saw the robin land on the bin store. I grabbed the camera, pointed it at him ........ and he flew off!
but he only flew as far as the big wooden owl, and even turned towards the camera
