Quilts and curtain

blues and yellows...

saved from a pile of mens shirts and uniforms...

found stuff...

lovely old scarves...

not shown so well here... 

but lets a lovely light into the western facing room...

another black and blue quilt...

done in the raggy style...

with enough left for a shoulder bag...

Monkey Fashion

Pretty in pink soft monkey hand & machine stitched from wool & cotton jumpers. Embroidered face , safe for baby to play with.

Bits and Pieces

and I also had these to play with...

so tried a new shape with the hexagons...

not so sure I like it...

managed to finally finish this quilt...

it has a few different textures...

I've used velvet and lace as well as cheesecloth..

along with the various cottons and blends I normally use...

then I had a play with a turtle...

it's the size of a cushion for little bottoms...

but it doesn't get sat on...

just hugged...

Pillows

had some pillows needing some decoration....

and something to keep my fingers busy...

found some clothing at a nearby op-shop....

got the scissors and started cutting...

no machine so needle and thread would have to do...

footstool revamp

time for a revamp...

from a lovely gifted table runner...

to a fresh neat footstool cover...

and off to a new home...

Knitted Coat

 

this is my version of the pattern shown below....

just using up some old wool gifted to me....

 

 

and the little ones found some patchwork pieces....

and put them to good use in the dolls house....

as mats....

clever I thought....

Alphabet Cushion Cover

A very retro alphabet fabric passed on to me from Simonne. Now a pretty cushion cover with ric-rac trim.
Bedside table, a kerbside throwaway.
White lace doily, op shop find.
