Hello
I am going to just post a couple of pictures so I can get on and sew! This morning is my only sewing window all week so I have to make the most of it.
I have been chipping away at my Finish-a-Long stuff so hopefully I will have an update on at least one of those very soon. In the meantime, I managed to put together this for the February LMQG challenge:
The challenge theme is "Year of the Snake" and this is supposed to be the Chinese symbol for 'snake'. It is approx 8.5" square, and so is too big for a mug rug, but is a bit small for a wall hanging, so I'm not sure what to do with it yet. But I enjoyed making it. Maybe I could make one for all 12 Chinese zodiac years and turn them into a quilt!
The other thing I made this week - and which was delightfully quick to do - was a Victorian style mob cap. One of the mums at school asked if I could knock something together for her, as she is helping out at "Victorians Day" for one of her children's classes and the grown-ups have been asked to dress up. I enlarged a child's pattern that I have in the depths of my pattern box, and came up with this:
...skillfully modelled by Billy the Bear. It's actually very comfy!
Right now I am going to do a bit more sewing on my daughter's Nano Iro sundress, and if I have time I am going to start my Pervalong! Fabric pressed, foundation papers prepped, and I'm ready to go! Wheeeeeeeee!
Have a great week everyone x

Loving the snake mug rug/hanging/block, it looks very funky! I have absolutely no ideas on anything else that could be done, so I'm almost glad to be visiting family this weekend - no pressure!
