May the fourth be with you

 I forgot to post a picture of my finished knitting bag.

 

It is a useful size and I enjoyed making it.

Now to finish off some older projects.

No starting anything new.

I am busy at my allotment, I finished planting my potatoes and sweet peas.

The ground is finally drying out, so many weeds still to eradicate before they take over.

At home my greenhouse is bursting at the seams because we still have frosts in middle \England.

I am enjoying hand sewing and machine sewing as well.

Happy sewing.

April sewing

 I have been crafting since my last post months ago.

Just dipping in and out.

I decided to get my Sashiko supplies out.

It is years since I did a short course with Susan Briscoe at a Quilters Guild conference.

I'm not sure if the photos will look clear or distorted.

The pretend fabric, I added stitching to, is for a rice bag that I making from directions from The Quilt Show.

 

This is the one I am stitching today.

Happy sewing.

January FNWF

 Well after feeling rubbish for most of December I then started coughing and sneezing again on Christmas day.

Now I'm feeling better but not much sewing has happened, I've knitted socks in stead.

Today I have been sewing the stems down ready for the flowers, which might be attached later today.

I did get a load of washing done and a pile of ironing this morning finished.

A walk in the drizzly rain this afternoon, it looks like it's here for the rest of the day.

I hope everyone who wanted to sew has had the chance to.

Happy new year and happy sewing.

Josie
