Hexagon hand-towel

A super quick make this afternoon - a hand towel for the kitchen.  I had no idea I was going to do this until I was rummaging through my fabric stash and found this piece of heavy linen that has been forgotten for years.   It's the perfect weight for a hand towel and I've managed to use up a few more scraps to match the colours of my kitchen. The little piece of aqua fabric is one of my favourites.  Had it for years and my supply has been dwindling, finally down to the last little piece.   It was a quick pin-down and run along with the machine. As you can see, a close inspection of my hexagon shows rather uneven stitches.   I blame it on my eyesight (and sewing whilst watching the TV).  Pinned into place and then edged around carefully with the machine.   I've even managed to add a little loop which is the tiniest scrap of ribbon I spied in the corner of my sewing table just as I was stitching to the corner.... I'll have that...

Hillarys Blinds - Country Crafts Competition

A vision in Teal - front view Towards the end of February I saw a competition advertised on Twitter by Hillarys Blinds .  I can't remember the exact wording, but it was along the lines of "would you like to receive some material and enter our competition?" Of course I would! After sending an e-mail, I was delighted to hear I'd been chosen to take part.  I was able to pick from 3 fabrics.  I opted for the peacock print as I adore teal.  About a week later I received a packet from Hillarys containing a metre of my chosen material.  I wish I could get the colours to come out properly.  I don't think any of the photos I've taken do the fabric justice.  The background is a light cream, with the branches and blossom in subtle shades of brown and pale yellows.  Sitting on the branches across the fabric are a selection of beautiful peacocks.  In shades of teal, they are quite wonderful.

New Sewing Room

It's wonderful to have my sewing space all sorted and ready for action (snort.... I will do things, I will not prevaricate).  I even more or less know where to find everything..... though this morning's hunt for button thread remains a lost cause.  Hubby will have to wait awhile to wear his jeans.  I know I've got some - and hate buying something I already possess.  It's not lurking anywhere it should be, so may be hiding in a project bag.  Anway - I'm drifting off!  My sewing room, and it's mine.... ALL MINE :) The removal men weren't to keen about carrying my dresser upstairs, but did it grudgingly.  Skinny bitch is happily settled in to her new home in the corner.  It's a shame she can't scare people who come to the front door anymore, but I'm sure she'll get used to her new role.  Was one of the most amusing moments of the move - as when removal man carried her out to the van, her coat fell off (along with arm and leg) revealing ba...
