Crafting

I have always loved to sew, my mum taught me when I was very young, I'm still learning but here are a couple of my most recent ventures.

Sorry about the poor photo quality, I couldn't get it to not show my reflection. I started this about three years ago now, and its been sat in my room finished for about 6 months but I finally got round to getting it framed.


Last year for my birthday my housemates got me loads of fabric and a pretty box to keep it all in as I had been saying for ages that I wanted to make a patch-work quilt. It the took me about 8months to do all the cutting out (without a cutting board) but this is a picture of all the material spread out


I have started to sew it together and am about a quarter of the way through, I am determined that it will be finished by my next birthday though.
My next sewing project is to start on the "Lifepath" bags (for more info see last years post about Lifepath in June), I'm determined that I wont still be making them during the week this year!

  1. Love how your cross stitch has turned out and the frame and mount work really well with it. Your patchwork is going to be amazing I love the LO and all the fabrics work so well together. Will it really be finished for your birthday? lol
