HAPPY NEW YEAR :)

I’m sorry that it has ages since I last wrote to my blog.  Hopefully, I can get back into the swing of things soon.

I have been sewing though and I’d like to show you what I’ve been up to.

So without further a do let’s get to the pictures ;) First up is a Dear Jane block I’ve just completed.   A-7 Dad’s Plaids. It’s a remake as the original which was the very first DJ block I made was made in different fabrics and  after 3 blocks I changed my mind to go repro.  Here’s the first one I did just to show you.

Here are a few gifts I’ve made over the past couple months. First some stitchery fridge magnets.  From Anni Downs’ book “A little book of little stitches Simple Pleasures”

Here’s a close up of one.

Then I finished off a Japanese style bag I made using some Japanese woven and printed fabrics (except for the red and handle)  The handle I bought.  First side.But I made the little zip pull… so chuffed with that bit can you see it   :-D  The little round thing dangling from the side near the handle.      Here is side two }

A couple of sewing wallets.  From Lise Bergene’s book “A Passion for Patchwork”  Love this book!!

Inside and outside of first wallet:- 

Here is the  second one.

I also got a picture of the snow in our back garden in November but it is looking the same now since we’ve had more snow since.Last but not least I managed to catch a photo of my DS lounging on my sofa drinking a beer and reading a book on Christmas Day :-)  

Well that’s it from me for now.  I a couple more pictures but I’ll save them for another day :)

Happy Stitching
