EBCC Challenge

Judith's challenge this month was to create a keepsake including at least one heart.

I've been going to make a doily incorporating some machine embroidery with crocheted edging & thought this was the perfect opportunity to do it.

I enjoyed doing this little doily & think I'll have to make some more!

Vintage Sewing Cushion

This Vintage Sewing Cushion has been on the 'to do list' for awhile now.....loved working with the Fresh Cottons range by Moda.

A crocheted doily and a vintage button and all is complete.

Think mine turned out more fresh country than vintage.....but anyway, being scented with oil makes everything smell nice.

Sweet stitching to you all...Jane

My Garden

Lots of signs of Spring life appearing in the garden now....lots of weeds also...LOL.

Make-up Bag

Miss J is at a birthday sleepover & this morning I put together this little bag. It's a great tutorial you can find here.

Sweet stitching to you all....Jane.

EBCC - Crinoline & Coasters

Has been a busy week here, with renovations and the norm of everyday life leaving little time for the pleasure of crafting. Last weekend I had a play with this 'Little Lady'.

Just waiting to find the right frame to pop her into.

....and some coasters in my favourite pastel colours to add to the collection. 

Sweet stitching to you all....xx...Jane.

Retail Therapy

Lisa  & I made the most of out trip to the Quilt & Craft Fair. Items above were purchased from 'Mothers Cupboard'..."what a wonderful display you had Fiona....beautiful fabrics".

A few other bits & bobs.....a great day.

Sweet Stitching to you all!
