Colourful Friday - Copper

I'm playing Colourful Friday again this week with Robyn over at Daisy Quilts.

This week our colour focus is copper....hmmm....a bit tricky that one, but it's amazing what you can find when you least expect it.  I was hunting through the stash this morning (looking for something else) and came across this panel of fabric....pulled it out straight away to picture as it has a lot of country copper in it (still haven't found the fabric I was looking for...LOL!!).

I was going to go into Man Land, (the shed) & take some pics of copper in cable but decided fabric was more the better option....LOL!!

Have a great weekend all....Jane.

Vintage Cabinet

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 Originally made for smaller children out of a pillowcase, these instructions allow you to make for an older child, which is really handy when you're buying anything from a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!

Sweet stitching all....Jane.

 

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.

Sweet stitching all....Jane.

Steps to the Altar

This is block two of our on-line stitching group block of the month.....again using 'Grandmothers Flower Garden' fabrics.

Sweet stitching all....Jane.
