So this was the
beginning of my little collection. I now have quite a few traycloths, napkins, tea towels & hankies (all gathered from carboots and charity shops) and have made a start on my Vintage Linen Quilt. I have steered clear of tablecloths as I didn't think that I would have the guts to chop into them!

| I forget to follow the instructions so the basket caused me a few problems. I pieced it upside down and it was very fiddly to resolve! |
I currently have hundreds of tiny squares, and half square triangles that I am piecing together to make pinwheels. I am hoping to use the pinwheels to frame some of the bigger embroidery pieces. I tend to make a couple of pinwheels in between over projects, or if I need a short break from whatever else I might be doing. Some nights the monotony of sewing those little squares & triangles can be quite therapeutic and other times torture lol!
It is very much a long-term project! I will need 50 something blocks if I am going to make a quilt big enough for my king-size bed!!! I will be "quilting on the go" and then joining the blocks together. There is no way my
Old Girl could cope with quilting a whole king-size quilt!!!
Oh, the dino is just darling. Way to go for getting a start on those Christmas presents. I say I'm going to do it every year and then am always scrambling in the end. Maybe this year, I'll get a leg up on it all.
