Well it has been an awful day here, cold, wet, miserable, just the sort of day for surfing and playing. So I found a new site pinkstitches, she doesn’t seem to have posted a lot in the last few months but I did find a tutorial for a pouch. This is just what I needed to put make up and cleansers etc in when we go away.
I made up a piece of patchwork and quilted it, the whole project start to finish 3 hours……finished measurements 22 x 11 cms.
Talking of going away. We have just had a really lovely night away, in a hotel on the Nottingham University site. The Orchard Hotel and Conference Centre . If you look at the pictures on line it is a stunning contemporary 4 star hotel built to the highest ECO standards, set amongst the university’s extensive grounds and gardens, and all of this just 6 minutes car drive away from our house.
It’s a shame it rained as we were going to walk around the grounds this morning, but hey we can take a walk another day, it being on our doorstep…..
from sewing room to potting shed 
Another stunner, definitely more you than Mr Malc this time! Has he been using his man bag?

Yes he’s quite at ease with it now ….he thought he would get ribbed about it but nobody has …and he finds it very useful.

Thank you, I’m not a proper quilter, I haven’t the patience. But give me a project where I can get stuck in with a sewing machine and I am happy, no hand quilting here.
