Lockdown Life

..... It's been a challenge, I can't deny it. However I have managed to get my head into a better space for crafting, gardening and other hobbies which had been put to one side. Starting with creating masks and scrubs bags for the NHS. I think most of my friends also did this and I know that between us we probably made thousands of pieces.

I've lost track of how many masks I made....definitely hundreds.

...and scrubs bags.

So... you will have noticed I have been absent for a few years!  It's not that I haven't been crafting its just that other things have taken priority. BUT now I'm back determined to make my blog, Instagram and Facebook pages the best they can be to showcase my crafting.....watch this space!

PHD FINISHED!!!!!!

Here is a top I had in a box. Can't even remember when I did it! Now quilted in straight lines and faced in black. PHD - project half done! Now complete!!!

Jazzy lap quilt!

First time I have used anything like these colours! Blocks came from a group I belong to. I love it he simple quilting and the facing instead of binding. Simple yet effective.

Extension and redecoration finally finished!!

Have had the builders here for 8 weeks and they have finally finished ( inside... anyway!) really pleased with the final effect, just what I imagined! ( better actually!) it will look even better when the patio is finished.

New design for me to try!

We have recently had a new extension and redecoration so I thought I would make a new quilt to go in the room. Hope you like it?

Submariners quilt!

Had a request for a double bed quilt for a lone submariner living in Faslane. I think he likes it! Can anyone tell me what the flags say? If you know your John Mills films you should get it!!!!!!

A few more gifts..........

I bought myself a new sewing machine and its LOVELY!!!! Really enjoying playing with it. I treated myself to a couple of extra feet but it came with loads. I had to look them all up on the Internet to find out what they did! Anyway , photos of my two latest projects attached.
