Getting ready for a short holiday here so just a few pictures of what I have been up to - actually not very many!
I have finished my Chookshed Challenge for the month - a nice easy one really, don't know why it has taken me so long!
This was the quilted panel I had from many years ago.
And it is now a cushion, here shown gracing a couple of new to me chairs that my neighbour had no use for.
Having used hand dyed fabrics for the applique and border I just had to go into my stash to find something to complement them. Procion dyed fabrics all seem to blend together well I find. This piece was the back of an old cotton shirt that I had dyed magenta and was the perfect size. I love the markings you can get from crumpling the fabric into the dye.
The second picture looks like a tulip to me. Anyway, there was the perfect zip in my stash and an hour later the cover was made.
Here is my stitch journal from the last couple of weeks.
My secret stitching is complete and I have made progress on the latest pair of socks and the crochet blanket - sorry no pics.
Just a few pictures from a recent visit to Dunster Castle although we only did the river walk round to the cafe. It is always very noisy by this bridge as the water rushes down from Exmoor. Always amazing to see how quickly the Gunnera grow, and how big the leaves are!
This little robin came for a visit while we sat there.
So that is all my news for today - short and sweet! Have a great weekend.
