I hope you aren't fed up with Gingers!!!!
Some more for the village incentive to Keep 20121 Moving
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.

More Gingers - this is a mum with a baby in a sling - I thought I'd mention it because when I design I am sometimes moving individual stitches so I get very engrossed in the design, then I stitch it out and THEN I realise the sling looks like big green school knickers (or worse - a mankini?!) And to make it worse if the green is a pair of big knickers, the babies feet are . . . no lets not even go there! I will be stitching another version which hopefully address these issues!!!
Hello, Happy New Year!
Days off work meant sewing - yippee!!! The EPP triangles got quilted
And the bound
Some grey fabrics I got for Christmas were cut into 1.5" strips ready for a log cabin
I started an embroidery map of the village (just a few million more colonial stitches to go!!!)
A bit of progress on the cross stitch
And the beginnings of a new group of Gingers! These are all doing much better on their New Year's resolution to exercise than I am! (some of these are from MemoriesInThread.com and some are my costume / activity designs
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas - probably not what you are used to, but most of the year has been like that!
I had some lovely crafty gifts - thank you! A map making DVD from Plum (watch this space), a needle keeper and a chocolate sewing machine (yum) from Avril.
I finished another julenissen for us:
I do believe that for once I am going to start the new year with fewer UFOs that I started it with - yes there are still some, and yes I did get some fabric for Christmas that I may be about to cut into, but things have definitely been more chaotic in the sewing room in the past!
Keep well everyone, and keep safe xxx
This dotty paper foundation pieced quilt was finally finished this week
The binding was black (with small white dots) onto black fleece - I'm glad that's finished, it was really difficult to see where each stitch was
