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.

2018 Wk 51 - !!! I'm not ready !!!
I need a pause button!
OK, so the dodgy raffle block has been corrected
The spare bedroom has been tidied so Niki can sleep there tomorrow night
I wasted time at work last week doodling through a team meeting! Shame it's got confidential details under the highlighter - I'm quite please with this one
I've finished travel tags for the Christmas stockings
Thanks to Mr Amazon, a picture frame ordered yesterday arrived this afternoon, so a picture (sketch? pictorial representation?) I did of mum's family tree starting with her grandparents has been framed and is just waiting to be wrapped - that's all Christmas Day pressies finished
And two to-be-posted gifts have been finished (hand stitching not too shabby!)
But another three are still only pinned and there are NO POSTING DAYS TO CHRISTMAS!!!!
So there are some people who are going to be getting Happy New Year squishy pressies instead of Merry Christmas ones! (Sorry!!)
To do list :
Tidy sitting room and dining room so we have a place to sit and a place to eat,
Buy fresh fruit for fruit salad tomorrow night
Go to work for a few hours tomorrow to hand over keys etc
Wish everyone Merry Christmas
See you on the other side!
JUST TWO SLEEPS TO GO!!!
