This is Laddie....she (I think) is guarding my recent purchase.....a Lloyd Loom Cabinet....around a 1920's piece I believe. I envisaged this in my sewing room...but alas, lack of space saw it go to Miss J's bedroom...momentarily!
Cheers....Jane.

Pillowcase Dress
Armed with some measurements as a guide from the internet I made Miss 11 this Pillowcase Dress. Originally made for smaller children out of a pillowcase, these instructions allow you to make for an older child, which is really handy when you're buying anything from a girls 16 to a ladies 12!

Colourful Friday
It's Colourful 'Spotty Dotty' Friday...hosted by Robyn @ Daisy Quilts.
These are a couple of my favourite china pieces.....they live in my craft room as decorative pieces. They remind me of patchwork.
Some spotty dots on February Hearts.
Some raised textured dots on Lady Crinoline.
Lastly some spots on my vintage cushion. Will be around the traps soon to see if you've all gone dotty....or is it just me with the lateness of the hour...LOL.
Have a great weekend all.....Jane.

Birthday Swap
The challenge for our on-line stitching group is to create a birthday gift using the letter of the town/suburb of which we live...that meant I had to create a gift starting with the letter S. The only other restriction was size of 8 inches square. So keeping that in mind I created a sponge bag & a scented crochet sachet......also included some smellies being hand cream & a drawer sachet.
Have a great weekend all....Jane.

Double Delight
I've had a few ideas buzzing around in my head lately and on the weekend I decided to create one of them. The result is this simple doily I call Double Delight.

February Hearts
I finished off my February Hearts on the weekend using a variegated thread & some stipple quilting.
A little bit of crochet and all is done....
well not quite, I have to make a label which I'll do when I get the embroidery machine out next.
A big thankyou to Robyn @ Daisy Quilts for offering this to us all......I've enjoyed the adventure!
Sweet stitching all....Jane.
