So this month I’m sharing the first of my ‘Scrap-Buster’ patterns. I don’t know any sewist who can bear to throw away scraps of fabric… after all, you never know when it might come in handy! You might notice th…

Such a cute and useful project…..one can never have enough pin cushions. Great blog Gini x

I’m going to give this a go. Thank you

What a lovely little project. I’m with you on scrap storing – I think it stems from my early playgroup leader days when we had to gather resources from everywhere and make the most of what we had (no money to buy things). I still ‘hoard’ to recycle now. Another thing to try – exciting.

I think by now most of you have seen the novelty of clips to hold your fabric together instead of the pins. I have tried the ordinary clips and I guess it’s just a matter of a habit or preference.
But then I was in…

Could you tell me how wide these ‘small’ clips are, trying to work out what size to order but not much information online and there seems to be regular size, small size and mini, Thanks

Sue Griffiths wrote a new post, Australian Wildflowers – bottlebrush (Callistemon)gel plate printing, machine embroidery and fmq 8 years, 4 months ago
Australia is a country rich in both flora and fauna. I wanted to celebrate this and make a wallhanging for my husband’s birthday.
Firstly, I started with a piece of plain white homespun and thought about the l…

Wow that is fantastic. Really have to study the technique but it sounds intriguing and the results are lovely. Thanks Sue.

I didn’t explain how you make the gel plate. You have to heat the mixture and dissolve the gelatine. Then pour into a tray too set. Once it’s done, you can reheat it and reset it in a different shape as required.

Thanks Sue.

That is gorgeous & the technique very well explained.

Thank you
I was out of my comfort zone with the paint but I really enjoyed the gel plate printing. It’s always nice to try something new.

Gorgeous wall hanging Sue. I love those bottle brush trees and pohutakawa flowers

Happy Australia Day Sue .. hope you are spending it sewing more beautiful quilts and wall hangings like this!

We go back to school after Australia Day, so it’s usually spent giving the house a thorough clean in the hope that it willl stay clean til the next holidays.

Beading a hobby I’m looking for the time to do! I already embellish bits a pieces with beads and have attended a Beading group a couple of times. Sadly time eludes me doing more however supplies and books are gathering ready for when I have the time.
8 years, 4 months ago
Time is a problem isn’t it! I see so many things I want to do and, like you, I gather supplies and the time never comes. I did snatch a really nice hour this week when everyone was out and I added a beaded tassel to a gift bag. I had forgotten how much pleasure I get from this sort of thing – and it only took an hour so I was well pleased. . Thank you for reading Sharon.

Can’t wait for more. I love using beads on wall hangings and postcards so to learn more will be great.
