Just a quick whiz through some photos from the last two weeks, then we'll see what I've been up to!
I've been stitching patches for people who join the Windsor Homeless project sleep out in a few weeks time - and stitched the design straight onto a sweatshirt for myself and other colleagues who are doing the Sleep Out (if you are able to sponsor us the link is https://mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/bentahickley2019
Many thanks to those who already have!
The pile of EPP plus blocks is growing (another 27 to go!)
And the girls at Crafty Church wanted to make reversible tote bags . . . so they did - not bad for 10 and 8 year olds!!!
And I made myself a linen dress! I love the colour - just need some warm weather to wear it now
Pocket and hem trim in this beautiful print.
Richmond and Kew saw a couple of charity quilts being made. These blocks were made with some fabric from a FQ bundle and other fabrics added - everyone made a block - some great variations!
And these are string blocks made using flip and stitch onto a square from an A4 sheet (so paper foundation). Lovely cheerful blocks
And finally my friend Linda finished a quilt made from blocks we cut from her late Dad's shirts - it's brilliant, well done Linda!
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.

Love your new dress Benta, you wouldn't be getting the chance to wear it anytime soon around here though. Hope the weather is kind on your sleep out too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dress - the trim is divine.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your sleep out (pray for no rain).
