WOYWW...

 I've not had a lot of customers this week....I guess many are on their holidays....so I have been using my time well by sewing for the charity I support.


I loved making the rag doll so much that I decided to make another one....I try to make each one different but have enjoyed making each one.

Harry Johnson's mum, Sally, called in to collect the sewing I had ready for her this week and was really pleased with the quilt and the two rag dolls so, as she was having a stall at Vron Gate show last Saturday, she said she would take the quilt and one of the rag dolls there with her and keep the other rag doll for the Minsterley Show.



So I made her another quilt to take with the second rag doll to Minsterley show.  I am really loving dipping into the gifted fabrics and have already sorted out another batch of fabrics to make another quilt....I'm on a roll :-)


Please note my assistant isn't naked behind the quilt :-) :-)





Amongst the gifted fabrics were lots of ready cut squares ready to patchwork so I have been doing some random patchwork with them and plan to make 3 cushions with it....they are all really good quality fabrics so have been lovely to sew with.



Just so you know, I have had some sewing for my customers.  This is a lovely School Memory Bear for a school that I haven't made one for before and it brings my number of schools up to 39 now.

I hope you have enjoyed your visit today and will leave me a little message so I know you've called by and I will do my best to pay you a return visit as soon as I can.

Hugs,

Yeah, but we only have your word that he's not naked....🤫😝😳
Lovely second quilt and I love the colours of the pieced piece for the cushions. By crikey, you've turned those donated fabrics into some treasures haven't you. It won't hurt for you to have a quieter august I don't think, it's not as if it will pull you away from the machines after all!!

Knowing your hubby, I wouldn’t be surprised at anything, lol!! Great patchwork pieces, the colours go together so nicely and I’m sure the dolls will do well for the charity!

great assistant whether he's naked or not!!
Love that the bear is wearing his tie . . . you should always be presentable just in case the Queen (King) comes to visit as my old mother used to say . .
Have a creative week

Me again! In answer to your question, I cut up old sheets into 12” squares and sew the strips onto them. I don’t bother with wadding, it makes a substantial feeling quilt in its own right. I’m so sorry to hear that Shell is in hospital, really hope that the tests show something and then she can be helped. Sending big hugs xxx

I meant to stop by earlier today, but life got in the way. I didn't play this week because I am hosting my own link party and didn't want to confuse anyone. See you Friday. Still love those dolls.

Hee hee re your assistant!
The dolls and quilt are gorgeous.
Love the bear, his tie is much like the one I wore at school. Same colours and stripes. A long time ago now! Anne x 17
