I'm still working on the list! But I've had to move it back to normal size - I can't read it otherwise to see what to do next!

The finished items have been moved to the Finished page, - that makes the list look shorter!
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.
I don't think you will be getting any sleep between now and Christmas Benta!
ReplyDeleteNot liking all the 'new' items! The just say no attitude failed then!?
ReplyDeleteOh Benta, what are you doing driving yourself so much? Slow down girl.Change the timetable and make them for NEXT Christmas instead. x
ReplyDeleteJust a quick question about the placemats.......you piece the top, then sew the backing right sides together and flip, hand stitch the opening then quilt? Is that right, and do you use wadding? I was going to make some and bind like a quilt so am interested in your method. Merry Christmas, enjoy your blog immensely.
ReplyDeleteGood luck! My manager asked if I had capacity to work overtime this weekend, I said not unless she wished me to give my project manager to my parents for Christmas this year. She agreed that that wasn't fair on them ;o)
