Finally I have some finishes to show you from my stitching day out at Warracknabeal. 
This is the needle roll (called Little Bird Roll) designed by Shelly Kelley. I found a sweet little "S" button in my sewing room that I got in a packet of buttons from the op shop...forgot that I had ever brought it, but amazing what goodies you find when you clean up the spare bedroom robe (and the linen press and laundry cupboards!). So I just have to add the "loop" to catch the button and its done!
It has a great little pocket for thread and is a lovely addition to my sewing room, perfect for stitching on the run. After borrowing more thread from my stitching neighbour Rose, I got the "Cornflower Blue - Doorstop stop by Leonie Bateman finished.
Well that enabled me to get the applique finished then I had to sew it all together and fill it with kitty litter, which is very tricky! We don't own a cat (we have budgies) so I am going to be making a lot more doorstops before I run out of kitty litter!
I enjoyed the wool applique so much that Lisa (and hopefully Rose) and I are back off to Quilters Harvest, Warracknabeal on Sunday for another wool applique class - this time with USA teacher Debbie Busby.
Happy sewing, Sue.
Your're on a roll. Have fun this weekend. You can't stop playing wool once you get started.
ReplyDeleteTwo very clever projects, and it sounds like you will have a great weekend. Debbie's patterns look really fun!
