Miniatures

Miniature Booty Quilt Swap is on its way!! I called it 'Forest'. Hubbie said he was really proud of me and wanted me to make it again, for us.

Still keeping secret until my swapee has it in her hands.

I am really happy with it - I tried new things for this one:-

My own design - yay! Kind of arty - yay!

Perle thread handquilting - not yay at first,
but ripped it out, told myself I can do better than that,
and stuck with it! - yay!

Can't wait for mine, but I can never wait patiently about anything - especially presents.


Another miniature package arrived today - from Pinks & Needles -so damm cute! Gigi has put so much effort into her goods and packaging and presentation and little gifties, that she deserves a big hug!

I have a specific job for these two. (Do they remind you of anyone?)

I want the whole shop!


Thanks to Simon for emailing me back about his love for sewing and for becoming part of a community of sewers, artists, fabric fondlers.....

Gina also has a husband who makes their curtains...

Who else knows a bloke who likes to get his hands roughened on needles and thread?
